Why Did I Pause?

I discovered my passion is to help people. I get so much joy from helping others. When I discovered my passion. I pursued it. I coach people through life’s obstacles. I was coaching people full time then I paused.

Why did I pause? Why did I pause?

I paused because the path I was taking became overwhelming. I needed some clarity to get going.  The pause gave me a clear direction and it awakened me to my potential. During my pause I discovered I want to be a public speaker.  I would have never thought that I would get joy from being on a stage and talking in front of thousands of people. I used to be shy, withdrawn, insecure and a introvert. I would have never thought of being a public speaker without the pause. The first time I got on stage I had fear. I felt the fear and did it anyway. Once I got past the first sentence it became easy. When I sat down I was filled with so much adrenaline. I knew from my feeling that public speaking is right for me.The positive feedback I received reassured me. 

I was told a closed mouth doesn’t get fed. That statement is very true and my mouth helped me surround myself with people who have similar visions. It also exposed me to people who are where I want to be. I look forward to my journey and my continued growth.

As I sit here and reflect on my pause I realize how much i have grown and how much i have learnt it has been an amazing pause. I am so glad that I have press play and I am moving forward with a clear vision. 

Before I saw my pause as failure. Now I see my pause as clarity.
