To Be Seen. To Be Heard. To Be Understood.

by Taliah / Monday, 05 December 2016 / Published in HUMBLE THOUGHTS, LATEST POSTS
For those of you who may not know, I’m a Full Time Substitute Teacher at a High School. While I was at work a couple weeks ago, one of my co-workers looked at me as she came to cover a period for a class that I was subbing for, so I could take a break. Upon her walking in, seemingly out of the blue, she started telling me how she really thinks this is a place that is perfect for me to mentor young girls, make a difference in the world and engage with people of like minds.
Shortly into what she was telling me I clearly felt that It was God speaking through her to me bc she was declaring things that I have dreamt of doing since I discovered my purpose. As she kept going on I was humbled to tears…

It started with her simply complimenting me on how classy she thinks I am how great of a role model she believes that I am and can be for girls who have dreams and don’t realize that they’re possible.

Oprah Winfrey hits the nail on the head when she says, in many words that all people want is to be heard, validated, understood and as I simply put it, all people want to be seen.

“They want to know: ‘Do you see me? Do you hear me? Does what I say mean anything to you?’ “ ~Oprah Winfrey

At that moment and in others, such as my No More Chains Book Release Party on Tuesday November 29, 2016, I have felt more seen and understood than I have ever felt in my life. It’s rewarding and reminds me that my work is not in vein, my existence is not in vein and it confirms to me that I am on the right track.

You may be in a place where you feel like you’re unsure of what it is that you are called to do. You may not be sure if you’re on the right track or you may feel like you’re too tired to stay on the road you’re currently traveling. I’m here to remind you to keep following your gut. Keep listening to God as he guides you and just as I’ve been blessed, others will unexpectedly cross your path to remind you too that your work is not in vein, your existence is not in vein and it will confirm to you that you are on the right track. Just hold on.
