Honour Your Calling
For so long, I dishonoured myself…
I allowed myself to be pulled in this sensible seeming direction and then the other…
I became pharmacist even though I knew it was not what I really wanted to do but it seemed reasonable and a good salary
I went to various churches that told me that i could not do the things I wanted to do because I was a female and I needed to humble my big ideas or else, I would end up in hell.
I even started the wrong business — real estate — because it seemed like a sensible business to create that would make me money. Everyone would always need housing, right?!
All the while, I knew what I wanted for my life but I disregarded myself and favoured everyone else’s opinion on what would likely bring me success.
Thankfully, The Divine kept whispering truths to me.
And finally, I listened.
This is the thing, true prosperity can only happen when you are being true to yourself
I looked the part of success at home, at work, at church but inside, I KNEW something was not right.
In fact, most of my life was off-course.
But it looked good.
Inside, I experienced a permanent sadness, a low-level depression.
