You are uniquely you. You were uniquely wired to make a difference in the world. No one else can make the same impact as you.
I am preparing to attend an intensive workshop with Amazing Women International on sharing my message. I just completed an assignment to help prepare me for the experience. I am sharing it here because I think it could be beneficial for you to do a similar exercise.
List 5-10 reasons why you are the person who needs to make a certain difference in the world. It may seem braggy at first. The main point, though, really is to get clear on why you can do this, why you are the right person for the job.
Following is my list of reasons why I am uniquely suited for this work, to help people live a life of significance:
- I have a Masters Degree in Social Work
- I am a survivor of sexual abuse
- I’m in recovery, clean and sober for over 20 years
- I’ve done tons of personal development work
- My strengths include achiever, restorative, learner, empathy, and developer
- I co-authored a book on finding and living one’s calling
- I was a financial coach for about 3 years
- I’m a blogger, consistently creating and sharing valuable information
- People respond well when I authentically share of myself
- I’m an entrepreneur and I know what it’s like to take risks to follow a dream.
Wow, that’s powerful stuff. This list will strengthen my resolve when I’m doubting myself, when I am feeling afraid no one will care about what I have to say.
If you want to enjoy the same benefit, though, you’ll have to do the work. Take just a few minutes to write what you want to accomplish and 5-10 reasons why you are the person who needs to do something. Why are you uniquely you?
