What’s Your Thing?

I had the opportunity to ask this question of a group of women yesterday, during a Goddess Walk that I was participating in.  I guess technically-speaking I was the guest speaker for the event as opposed to simply a participant — but I tell you, I got as much from the experience as anyone there.

As I said, my opening request of these women, as part of the introduction process, was for them to share their names as well as what they’re up to in the world — in other words, “what’s your thing?”  It was telling to me that many of these women grappled with the question.  And so it had me wondering, how clear are people in the world, as a rule, on what they’re truly about?  One of the women wondered why it was even important to know what she’s about.  My response is this:  unless you consciously know what you’re about, you will be like a sponge and unconsciously absorb the things that are important to those around you.  Eventually, you’ll be saturated with the ideas of others and your true, authentic spirit will begin to die off.  In short, you won’t be havin’ any fun.

So, what’s your thing?  How do you know?  And do the people around you know what’ your’e about?  More importantly, do they respect you enough to honour you and your thing?  If so, you’ve got the right group of supporters in your life.  If not, it’s time to recondsider who you’re hangin’ out with.  Which is actually the topic of my feature article in my monthly ezine.  You can check it out by signing up for it at www.stellarcc.com.  And until then, let me challenge you to get really clear on what you’re about.

Bottom-line:  until you know what you’re thing is, you can’t really know who you are.  And it doesn’t serve anyone, least of all you, to go around this world unsure of who you are.
