Recommended: What is the meaning of leadership to me

I promised myself that I would read Let Your Life Speak with an open mind and unguarded emotion. What I revealed as I begun reading was pure delight. I detected a connection with the author, as I too wrestled with hunting for a vocation true to my heart. Palmer articulated beliefs that delivered clarity as to why I experienced negative feelings from my pursuit of vocation. I too felt lost and contended with anxiety and mild depression in my early thirties. An inordinate amount of my pain ensued from my search for purpose, self, and passion. Chapter three is my favorite segment of the novel. I appreciate how Palmer comments how one can be ignorant to their strengths and gifts. The questions pertaining to chapter three, permitted me to reflect on how and why my journey was crafted. I acknowledged and sensed gratitude for my prior experiences and discomfort. …show more content…

For instance, my interpretation of leadership has changed. I value the ideology that leaders come in many forms and possess diverse qualities. In fact, I perceive myself as a leader. Leading carries challenges, but knowing that leadership originates from the heart provides confidence for achieving. I enjoyed the concept of approval and the influence approval has on my life. Approval is from within, its love of true self.
I look forward to picking up Let Your Life Speak and revisiting the book on occasion. Let Your Life Speak is a reminder of my journey to discover meaningful

  • Embracing Self-Care: A Review of 'Take Time for Your Life'

    1001 Words  | 3 Pages

    I love it when she states in step 7 don’t let life get in the way of your spiritual well-being--connect to your inner wisdom and create a personal practice”. A lot of people use life situations as a means to become more careless or mean, instead of using life’s situation as a tool to become smarter or mentally stronger. As I read this book it gave me a confirmation that if I think about myself before I think about others that it doesn’t make me a bad person or even a selfish person but rather makes me a person who cares about my self-being. She says that we should focus more on our lives then our personal goals and careers. If people spent more time focusing on their lives instead everything else there would be a lot happier people in the world. Many people are focus on things that aren’t important at all or they focus on their career or goals but have a life full of drama and upset. Your life is your foundation and your goals and career are what’s being built on your foundation. If you stack tons of things onto something that doesn’t have something steady to stand on them eventually it’s going to collapse. People need to focus more on living happy and learning that it’s ok to care for

    There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought

    As I have reflected on the examined life, intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially and spiritually, over the span of this semester and applied it to our own life, I have noticed a theme that links each of these dimensions together. Life is a journey of self discovery where individuals are constantly trying to come to terms with who they are as a person. Through this journey, individuals can find their calling or vocation in life, discover their potential, know one’s self, and even just make sense of life. Furthermore, I will examine this theme of self discovery in the context of each dimension and apply it to what I have learned over the course of this semester.
