I know at least three other
people who have recently had health challenges too, forcing them to change their
daily activities.
Annoying, frustrating,
irritating, inconvenient….all of these words describe this situation.
But here’s a news flash…life
doesn’t stop just because we’re not in the office, or seeing customers, or writing
our blogs, or cooking meals for our families.
Apparently we’re not as
important as we think we are!
I suppose a reality check is
a good thing every now and then. It
keeps us humble. Believe it or not
people from my sales team don’t stop selling radio advertising just because I’m
not there to oversee them. I really am
dispensable.
Which leads me to ask the
question, where do I get my self-worth?
Do I need to think I’m an indispensable part of the company in order to
feel good about myself? Does my role as
Sales Manager define me as a person?
Fortunately, I’m happy to
answer, “No” to that question. My
self-concept isn’t wrapped up with what I do for a living, where I work, or how
much I get paid.
Over the course of a week I
wear a bunch of different hats depending on who I’m with and what I’m doing…
Wife, step-mother, sales manager,
landlord, blogger, speaker, student, trainer, sister, friend, aunt, cat
grandma, step daughter, boss...
Yes, I’m all those things
and they all define who I am as a person.
But the most important role that defines me is being a child of
God.
Being a child of God defines
who I am, how I act, and the words I speak.
Being a child of God is really all I need. I am loved by a forgiving, all powerful,
amazing God…and that’s enough.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT:
Have you been limited by
health or life issues recently? Where do
you get your self-worth? What
defines who you are as a person?
