As women, we define ourselves by our connection with other people. We are someone’s wife, someone’s daughter, someone’s mother, someone’s sister, someone’s friend. Because these connections require investment in emotional, physical, financial, social, and mental strength, we tend to give away more than we receive causing a fundamental imbalance in our identity. We are the givers more than the takers. We are the strength in the face of overwhelming weakness and need. We are targets for abuse, both kindly and unkindly, because of our perceived vulnerability. We find ourselves empty and tired rather than joyful and ecstatic. We do not know what has happened. We do not know who we are apart from our connections. Who is that woman who meets so many needs but is so needy herself?
Every woman faces a decisive moment when she must rise and proclaim her own identity. This is difficult because she must first answer three 1) Who am I?; 2) Whose am I?; and 3) Why am I here? These questions will initiate a self-examination that will help us define our present, deal with our past, and plan for our future.
The IDENTITY seven-day plan will serve as a foundation for reclaiming your personal identity and making plans to pursue your personal goals. It will help you define what you want out of life and give you a structure for moving forward. Overnight success takes years to accomplish. Remember that you are on a journey to self-improvement, self-awareness, and self-fulfillment. It is a never-ending pathway to fulfilling the purpose God has in you.
