Who Are YOU??? 3 Realizations to Navigate Your Road to Your Calling
Who are YOU???
Why are YOU here???
What is it YOU are meant to do???
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
Leaders like you and I often ask ourselves these deeper questions on our Journeys of self-exploration.
Throughout my personal Journey, I have identified
3 Realizations to Navigate Your Road to Your Calling
Which I will share with you today.
Are you ready to get started???
Of course you are. I’ll see you in there!!!
1. You have a UNIQUE PURPOSE
What you are being called to do,
Is unlike anybody else.
These days, society seems to always tell us:
- Who we need to be
- What we need to do
- How we need to act
The problem with this is …
Nobody else truly knows who you are, and
Nobody else has done (and will do) what you are meant to do.
I had this realization when I watched the 2008 NCAA college basketball tournament (also known as March Madness).
There was this small school called Davidson, and they had a small player named Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry inspired me as he played with so much freedom and enjoyment. This was a player who played unlike anybody else.
And from that point on, I committed myself to realize what my unique purpose was …
And I would use it to inspire all who saw me.
2. You have a UNIQUE PATH
Not only is your purpose unique, but
Your Journey to pursue that purpose is unlike anybody else’s as well.
Society seems to tell us there is some magical blueprint or formula to become who we desire to be, but …
Nobody else has ever (or will ever) walk our Path.
I remember after watching Stephen Curry play, I decided I would become a professional basketball player to inspire others like he inspired me.
However, when I embarked on this journey to play basketball,
I soon encountered some mysterious, undiagnosable, and debilitating medical conditions that I have dealt with for the past half of my life.
With these medical issues, I saw my dreams of playing basketball washed away, but …
I realized my Journey to be who I came here to be …
Was unlike anybody else’s Path.
3. Whatever you are called to do, YOU CAN HANDLE IT
I recall one night, while navigating through a lot of turmoil:
- Watching my dreams washed away
- Watching my health become washed away
- Trying to remain resilient through various tribulations such as the pandemic
I was completely fed up with my life situations …
And I went out to an empty field underneath the stars and prayed:
“GOD, YOU have taken so much from me:
- You have taken my dream from me
- You have taken my health from me
- I have faced so many challenges
WHAT MORE CAN YOU TAKE AWAY FROM ME???”
And, once I said that,
It felt as if every cell of my Being was melting away from me …
Until there was nothing else but a ball of fire,
A bundle of energy …
Deep inside me.
And I realized, this ball of fire …
WAS INVINCIBLE …
WAS UNSTOPPABLE
And would carry me to my Purpose.
You have a UNIQUE PURPOSE …
You have a UNIQUE PATH to pursue your Purpose ...
Whatever it is you are CALLED TO DO,
You can HANDLE IT!!!
WHO and WHAT YOU ARE deep down …
Is indestructible!!!
I wish you well on your journey to navigating your road to your Calling, and I look forward to seeing you next week.
Inspiring YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
