What are YOU doing?
Really… what are you doing with your life?
When was the last time you took inventory?
Are you “Taking Up” Space or are you “Occupying” Space?
This topic stained my mind for about a week and I couldn’t resist blogging about it. What I am discovering is that I matter… no really, I matter. Or should I say that I AM matter.
Matter [n.]: something that occupies space.
In other words, you and I are made up of matter which is designed to occupy space. I know this may sound funny, but hear me out. Think about it from a literal sense: The definite shape of your body occupies space. Wherever you are at a certain moment of time, the space you are occupying can only be occupied by you. Meaning that if you are sitting in a seat in a restaurant or standing in line at a theme park, that particular space you are in can only be occupied by you at that moment.

Definitive [n.]: something that is fully differentiated or developed; complete; a final example or version of its type.
We as bloggers, thinkers, teachers, students, mothers, fathers, doctors, designers, pastors, leaders and artists define ourselves by our occupation. In most cases, if you ask a person who they, the first thing they tell you is their occupation (ie. “I’m a doctor.” or “I’m a designer.”). But is that truly you? Is that really who YOU are?
The idea of becoming definitive is not about being better than someone else or making yourself look unique or different. Becoming definitive is a discovery. It’s a coming-to-grips with who you really are and what you’re really made of. Many of us limit ourselves to terms and vocabulary that have already been carved out. Terms like ‘doctor’, ‘lawyer’, ‘engineer’, etc. Yet when we dive into our true colors, we find that these terms often times limit us.

I was reading a blog by a very inspiring and influential catalyst that has been a mentor both directly and indirectly in my life. He blogged on the topic of “What is your niche?” Check it out. But continuing on, my question is a little different… I want to know “Are You Niched”? Meaning, have you found your place, your groove, your spot in the world? First off, what is a niche? Well, a niche is a place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted. It’s where you are operating at your best and greatest potential.
