Patty Hearst said that “For me, my awakening came when I was kidnapped.” For some it is a medical condition such as a stroke, heart attack, or cancer. For others it may be a near accident, crash, or mishap. For others it may be reading text that resonates with them. It may take more than one life event for us to “wake up” and begin to understand our passions, gifts and purpose. Be still and know…
There are many ways that we could wake up from living the life we are. Some might say that there is nothing wrong with how I am living my life, and perhaps sometimes that may be accurate. I think that many of us can have those “ah ha” moments at various ages, times and locations. Like that “2x4” that some of us often talk about being hit with, sometimes it take more than one time, more than one experience, more than one whack before we get it.
I have had 2-3 of those moments in my life. The first was a heart attack in 2001, the other is when I was told that God has a message for me. And perhaps another. My point is not if you have one or not, but what it is we do with our life AFTER we have one. Do we ignore it, explore it or fight it? I ignored one, started to fight with one which lead to exploring and embracing it. My life has never been the same since. THANK GOODNESS!
I can be the change that I seek in this world… I will remember that I am the most influential person who I will hear all day. So, I should be very careful what I say.
