One of my favorite questions is this - If everything you love was taken away, who would you be?
It's easy for us to get caught up in life. It's reality right? Aren't we always trying to entertain ourselves, better ourselves, and to enjoy life? But let me ask you this - what defines who you are? Are you a parent? Spouse? Child? Manager? Worker? Leader? Follower? Optimist? Judge? Pastor? Chef? You get the point. What are you? How do you define yourself?
Now, take that title off of you. Who are you now?
Strip yourself of that title. Now who are you?
One of the toughest lessons in life is finding out who you are at the core. When you take (or sometimes forced) to take a hard look at yourself who will you be?
It's a tough question because, in my opinion, it's one of the scariest questions to answer. So often we hide behind our titles, jobs, responsibilities, or fluff.
My encouragement for the week is to dive in and take a look at yourself and see what you may find. Just remember that it might scare you some too.
