Letting go of Labels & Titles
Have you ever felt that your title defined you? What would happen if someone took your job title away? What label have you put on yourself or others? Is it accurate, and how do you grow from it? Join me in this week's episode as we discuss why you shouldn't let labels and titles define you. A title is a name that describes one's position or job. A label means the classified phrase or name applied to a person, especially one that is inaccurate or restrictive. Whether through social media or our jobs, people are so caught up in what others think that they're beginning to lose their self-worth. You can never truly be yourself if you're constantly trying to impress someone else. Let go of the need for society's opinion and live your life without being restricted by any label or title.
