The resurrection of the world

"The moment a woman comes home to herself, the moment she knows that she has become a person of influence, an artist of her life, a sculptor of her universe, a person with rights and responsibilities who is respected and recognized, the resurrection of the world begins."

OK, maybe I don't need to be that dramatic - resurrecting the world and all.

I found this quote on my favorite blogger's site. It's been there for a long time, but today I really noticed it. I have renewed energy today -- since I gave up wanting that job working for that man I barely know but already adored. You see, when you free yourself of what is weighing you down, you have a chance to become you again. So today, I'm lighter (insert joke here) and I'm free-er. I am back to being that woman described above.

You see, I AM a woman of influence. People are moved by my words and inspired by my authentic being. The last week or so, I felt like a shrivelled version of my-self due to the angst I felt waiting to hear back about "the job". The truth is that I am a very creative artist of my life and it doesn't serve for me to shrink, to be less than who I am due to the control that I am allowing someone else to have over me (and funny part is, he didn't even know he had or was using this sort of control!!). I did that to me.

So today I resolve to not quit fighting for that great job -- whatever it shows up as. I will continue to build my network of people who can help me find that job, I will apply for jobs (even some that I don't necessarily feel are great as you never know what it could lead to), and I will find new avenues to market myself -- the real self, the real authentic, powerful, inspiring, energetic, motivating, creative, meticulous, organized, outgoing, responsible, get-it-all-done-and-ask-for-more self that I am. Today I will get back to creating the grandest version of my-SELF that God intended for me.

I shall mourn no more (I just wanted to add that for dramatic effect)! :o)
