Hi, Friend!
Are you at odds with how your life is going? If you are feeling more
disappointment than energy for life, you could benefit from pausing to
examine your direction.
You can make peace with your life even when you are experiencing
frequent discouragement. Disappointment can show up in a lot of ways:
- Loss of a loved one or job
- Inability to get on the same page with your spouse
- Consistent effort followed by consistent setbacks or rejection
- Lack of opportunities to connect with others
All of these can impact your sense of your identity, or who you are.
Loss, stress, rejection, isolation are serious enough to cause a person
to enter into self-doubt. When you start doubting your identity, you
open yourself up to all kinds of trouble.
My life work for the past three years has been to study, write about, and teach the significance of knowing your identity.
I focus so much on identity because knowing who I really am provides
the reassurance I need. Without reassurance, life’s disappointments
would overwhelm me.
How are you doing? Maybe you are finally prepared to make a
course-correction. Would you like some help to assess your current place
in life? Start with the guest post I wrote on Lori Schumacher’s blog.
Then, if you have any questions, comment below so we can discuss how to
find the positive and make peace with your life, even when a lot of
negative is happening.
