Finally a question I can use to express what this blog is all about.
I have been on a journey of discovering myself , one can say finding my story, and one of the recent lesson has been on finding my truth or what I truly stand for. I believe when you have figured out what your core belief system is, what governs your life choices , moral campus, attitude etc., you start being authentically yourself, expressing yourself unapologetically to the world and above all, know where you are going or what you want to create as well as clarity on your life path. In summary, direction!
I have learnt that, whatever it is that we subject ourselves to, will pretty much detect our lives. The saddest part of this is sometimes we don’t even know it. If you subject yourself to fear, everything you do will be under the influence of it. Many people are afraid of death or lonliness, hence their decisions are always set of a path that escapes that. Some are afraid of failing , and that can either lead to over working themselves or not even trying at all. Some are afraid of being themselves so they hide in the shadow or imitations of others.
For me, what gives me direction is the truth that I find in Christ. It has been and even more so now, the center of my moral values. Crazy how such a simple statement carries so much more than that.
I struggled to fully comprehend this myself because even though I have been a Christian for many years, its not always that I knew where I was going. Lets be honest life is so unpredictable. From life’s experiences I allowed myself to be subject to a couple of things despite being a so called child of God . Fear was one of them, fear of success, hence instead of fighting for my dreams to be what I believed in my heart I could be , I accepted defeat. Another thing that was directing my life was low self esteem. Because I wasn’t sure about who I am I was just going which ever way possible, the path of less resistance as I would call it. Clearly there is no way all these things could be the main source of direction for my life, no wonder I was often in confusion.
Yes I sort of believed the word of God at the same time doubt that I would be good enough, and not even sure if I truly have to do or to be something. But in my current journey, I finally got to let go of my fears, be sure of who I am and then finally submit to only one thing, the truth, the word of God.
Its not easy to chose this path of believing that life is in the hands of a higher power you cant see or hear. But having Jesus in my life, and truly walking in His way, has made life much clearer and easier as i allow Him to lead me on through His word.
