So, I decided to try something new…
I am going after it all. When I say going after it all… I mean embracing every piece of myself and living loudly in it.
I have always felt like I had many talents, but honestly, I didn’t know what to do with all of them. Like what is the job for the girl that has a natural voice like a broadcast journalist, loves to cook, loves to create pieces of marketing/promotional material, wants to create spaces for people to be vulnerable, and still wants healthcare? I mean sometimes I feel all over the place.
Growing up, I used to envy people when they would say things like “I want to be a doctor, lawyer, model, etc”… Because when they asked me I would just look like a deer in the headlights.. I mean… I just want to survive…
That was my honest response.. I want to SURVIVE.
Well, I won’t act like surviving is easy, but I have been able to manage thus far so I have to do something else.
I feel so called to step into the next phase of my life but if I can be honest, I doubt my worthiness and if it even makes sense.
I was scrolling through TikTok a little while back and I ran across a young lady, Bernie Levv, who identified herself as a Multi-hyphenate and I was extremely intrigued by what she was saying.
I started to do some digging and I found the term “Multipotentialite” and instantly felt like I had found my home. A Multipotentialite is “the state of having many exceptional talents, any one or more of which could make for a great career path for that person.” Now the thing with me is that I like working my 9-5 in corporate America because it keeps me on the edge of my seat in terms of always trying to be the best. I also like: wedding planning, creating things, cooking, baking, being funny, teaching volleyball, and hosting dinner parties.
I always thought that in order to be successful I would have to put my passions to the side and only pick one. I never wanted to be a “Master of None” but, I decided that I am going to make my own rules.
Now, I won’t focus on all of them at the same time but I won’t be denying myself the freedom to explore the blessings that God has given me.
It is my time to be “in bloom” and to explore the things that make me unique.
I encourage you to do the same.
Start that business, become an influencer, take adult gymnastics, honestly just do what makes you happy.
No one has it all figured out and the people who look like they do… They just decided to be “In Bloom” for the world to see.
The only thing stopping you from being your very best is fear and commitment. Show up for yourself because you deserve it.
We can do it sis, just trust the journey.
