C4 Session 25 - What is My Role?

Key Questions

WHO may you be around who may not understand what your role is?  

WHAT are some limits/boundaries others have set for you in assuming your role? 

WHERE did you learn to play unwanted roles, or, who told you (or modeled) how to play these unwanted roles? 

WHY is it important that you don't box yourself in when it comes to your "role"?

WHEN you are called upon to do something, what is it more likely for?

HOW can you clarify your role for others?

Self-Reflection Points

• You have some control over how people view you. Be self-aware when you are making decisions and taking action. Don't let people box you into a role they think you must play.

• You may be stereotyped into a role by the places you visit. ie: you are supposed to be a certain way all the time because you go to or work at a certain place. SAMPLE "You should pray, you are the church mother".

• Roles are usually broken down by stereotypes. Self-awareness is vital when it comes to this. You will usually be asked to do things according to the role people think you have. Assuming you have or don't have certain abilities. ie; A grandma must know how to bake cakes, or because you have a skill you want to show it at every party, etc.

• Let your spirit and purpose guide your role. If others have "crowned you" The problem solver/peacemaker and you get involved and "play your role" many conflicts can benefit from your insight.  However, if you've always been forced to get involved and you really preferred not to be. Be honest, and clarify your role to others. Set boundaries. Don't let others distract you from your purpose. It's your time and energy remember to take control of your emotions!

• Don't limit yourself to one role, you should be displaying all of your many skills while using them to accomplish your goals and purpose. 

• Some roles are defined by a uniform. However, we must remember that a "person" defines themselves by their beliefs. Beliefs change as people change.
