Be More of YOU!

Do you need to be more of you? Many times we get focused on what we want to be that we don’t focus on who we already are. The gifts and abilities God has given us.

I was recently talking to my college Brian G. Johnson about my speaking engagements I’ve had recently and I said, “Yeah, I just wish I was funnier. I don’t have that natural sense of humor. I love to have fun I love to laugh.” He said, “Yeah, Shelley the way I see you is I see that you are fun.” He said, “You don’t need to be anything different just be more of you.”

I had a paradigm shift in that moment that I was wanting to be something different than myself. I was wanting to be someone else. All I need to do is be more of who God created me to be. Be more of the person that God has made me. Let those gifts and abilities shine.

I encourage you today, what is it that you are just focused on, like I need to more of this. I need to do this. I need to be different. See if there’s a paradigm shift for you as well where you can simply be more of you. More of who God has created you to be.

Today I encourage you to let your light shine.
