Are You Becoming Who You Were Created To Be?
Hi, I'm Katlyn
I don't have life figured out.
In fact, the older I get, the more questions I seem to have.
What I do know is that most people spend their entire lives answering questions they were never meant to answer.
How much money should I make?
What should my career be?
What do other people actually think of me?
How do I become more successful?
And while those questions aren't necessarily bad, I don't think they're the questions that determine the quality of someone's life.
The questions that have changed my life have been much harder.
Who am I when nobody is watching?
What do I actually believe?
Am I living from conviction or conditioning?
Am I becoming who I was created to be?
A few years ago, I had an experience that changed me.
In the middle of the night, I woke my husband up convinced I was dying.
I don't know how to explain it other than I genuinely thought it was the end.
I remember talking a million miles a minute.
I wanted to make sure he knew everything.
I wanted him to know what to tell our children about me, and more importantly, about life.
And what surprised me most wasn't what I said... It was what I didn't say.
I wasn't talking about money.. or achievements...
Or about things I owned, goals I hit, or anything I thought would matter someday.
The only thing I cared about what whether I had spent my life becoming the person God created me to be.
That experience stayed with me.
Because the truth is, most people are moving SO fast they never stop long enough to ask themselves who they're becoming.
We inherit beliefs, fears, expectations...
And somewhere along the way, many of us stop question whether the life we're building is actually aligned with who we truly are.
I believe that's why SO MANY people feel stuck.
Because they never slowed down enough to get honest about what's happening INSIDE of them.
This is why I'm so passionate about self-awareness.
Because I genuinely believe it's one of the most important things we can do with our lives.
I believe God created each of us with purpose.
And we're responsible for stewarding the life we've been given.
One of the greatest tragedies would be reaching the end of our lives, only to realize we spent most of it living as someone we thought we should be instead of becoming who we were created to be.
I don't write because I have all of the answers... I write because I think we're asking the wrong questions.
My hope is that something you read causes you to pause.. to reflect.. to get honest... to question something you've never questioned before.
And maybe, in the process, discover a little more of who you really are.
If that happens, then this space has done exactly what I hoped it would.
