You Can Do It

I am a daughter of Zion, and Permit me say that I owe no one an apology for this.

Growing up as a child, I was an extremely shy person. I couldn’t walk past a group of people be it young or old, let alone looking them in the face. Perhaps because I had the notion that everyone could be looking at me.

Question! Why in the world could I have thought that? Answer! That is just one shallow way a Timid person thinks and so I wasn’t an exception.

I knew what I was experiencing at that stage was an anomarly that needed attention. The more I saw spunky, audacious, and confident children, the more I thought them to be forward and loud. However one thing I never realised until later was that they had unconsciously choosen the path of confidence, responsibility and self expression. Features I lacked!

So the quest for the ‘authentic me’ started. Let me digress and say that the quest for one’s authentic selve isn’t a today-tomorrow task. I must tell that one needs time to really sleep, ponder, meditate and build other sleeping areas in their lives.

During those years I quivered in sheer timidity, I knew deeply on the inside that there was a part of me that surged to be heard. How I yearned to explode and be heard heard but paradoxically I was being chained and suppressed by the enemy called TIMIDITY.

How awe-inspiring that all that have been totally cleaned out now.

I Look back at those days and say that it was sheer FOOLISHNESS (Please permit me say that).

That one thing I effortlessly would do, be fulfilled in and derive joy in, is what has become today my calling/function/purpose.

So I ask! Is it taking you eternity to ‘find your rhythm? Do you see those who are dancing to the resonating notes of destiny as people who must have two heads or better put’ are out-of –this- world folks? Lies, lies.lies

Duh! The reason you think that way is because they have choosen a path that you lack the spunk and determination to.

Times have changed. What obtained with our parents (old schools) just mightn’t now. Ideas rule the world and you can not conceive that magical idea if you aren’t focused and in line with your Gift.

So I ask the million bucks question, don’t you think it’s high time you put yourself in a determined corner and say ‘I must look within to find my purpose’?

Just when you do, you’d find that it gets so intoxicating so that you would almost forget you were once a prey to TIMIDITY.

I wish you a fruitful search. Everyone is waiting for you.

Joy’s Top Tips on Purpose

No University in the world has ‘purpose’ in its curriculum. You have got to find it out and develop your own course outline.
There isn’t a dictionary or encyclopaedia where you’ll find your name, and a purpose attached to it.
Purpose is Timidity turned inside out.

YOU

Only you can know you

Only you can tell where you want to go

Only you can give yourself to deep thinking

Only you can make something out of nothing in your life when you give it all over to the creator

The real you lies in you

You are your purpose, so discover the real you.

Practical organising tips
