FINDING YOUR
PURPOSE
BEYOND
MOTHERHOOD
It's okay to have
your own dreams.
by: Vonna Matthews
Being a mother is one of the most rewarding
roles in a woman’s life. The immeasurable
impact you can have on a child’s life from birth
to adulthood is one that can be both fulfilling
and motivating. Yet, is it so fulfilling that it
replaces any need to be something else? Does
your role as a mother remove any dreams you
have or desires to pursue a purpose that is not
centered on parenting, but rather on who you
are?
I once heard someone say, “Motherhood is not
my greatest calling.” This is a statement that
many can argue, and it’s worth the debate. Is
motherhood our greatest calling? Should
women seek purpose outside of their children?
I say a resounding, “Yes” to the pursuit of your
own purpose and power. I believe that
knowing who you are as a woman outside of
motherhood positions you to have a greater
impact on your children. The legacy you can
leave behind can inspire them to greatness.
