Are You Using Who You Truly Are in Your Current Role or Brand?
We are all valuable packages—unique in our talents, experiences, and soul power. But what happens when you’re not tapping into that value in your current role or brand? It’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. You might be working hard, but something feels off. The truth is, when you’re not using who you truly are, you’re:
- Selling yourself short.
You’re not bringing your best self forward, and that means you’re not offering your true value to the world. - Making life harder than it needs to be.
The struggle is real when you’re not aligned with your purpose and passions. - Choosing an unhappy path.
If you’re not fully aligned with your role, you’re not bringing your best energy or joy to your work, and that’s draining. - Not bringing real soul value to the organisation.
Whether you’re working for yourself or someone else when you’re not aligned, the organisation and the people you serve miss out on the magic you’re meant to bring.
But what if you’ve already discovered that who you are doesn’t fit into where you currently are? Here’s the good news: there are always steps you can take to get closer to living your true purpose.
What To Do If This Is You:
- Ask for a change in position.
If you’re in a role where you feel underutilised or stifled, don’t be afraid to ask for a change. Speak up, and let your manager or team know where you could be of better value. Highlight your skills and experiences and express how you can contribute in a different way. - Propose a new position.
Sometimes, the role you need might not even exist yet. Think about the skills or talents you possess that are being underused. Is there a way you could create a new position or proposal that fits your strengths? Brainstorm ideas that would add real value to the organisation. Who knows—your new role could be the next big thing they didn’t even know they needed! - Quit and explore a new path.
If you’ve tried all of the above and it still feels like a mismatch, it might be time to consider leaving. It’s not easy, but if your current role is holding you back from your soul’s calling, there’s nothing wrong with taking the leap. Explore other options—whether that’s starting your own brand, switching professions, or diving into something entirely new. There’s always a way to pursue what sets your soul on fire.
So, What Do You Do Next?
- Find out who you truly are.
To know where you’re going, you first need to understand who you are. Take the time to reflect on your passions, skills, talents, and life experiences. Ask yourself: What lights me up? What am I truly good at? Where can I make the most impact? The answers are already inside of you. - Explore your options.
Once you’ve figured out who you truly are, it’s time to explore how you can bring that value into the world. Whether it’s in your current role, a new role, or a completely new venture, make sure you’re staying true to your passions. Don’t settle for less than what you deserve.
The truth is, when you step into your authentic self and align your work with who you truly are, everything shifts. You’ll feel more fulfilled, more energised, and your impact will be greater than ever.
Final Thoughts:
Stop selling yourself short. Don’t stay in a situation that doesn’t bring out your best self. Your true value lies in who you are, and when you start using that, the whole world will benefit. Whether you ask for a new position, propose one, or make the bold move to strike out on your own, remember: you have everything you need to succeed. Your soul’s power is waiting for you to step into it.
Take that first step today. You owe it to yourself—and the world.
