“Love is not about property, diamonds and gifts. It is about sharing your very self with the world around you.”
NOTE: Once we decide to trust ourselves we unlock our storehouse of strength and confidence. No one else has the key to unlock it. It has to come from within each of us. It takes courage to trust oneself. Much like a young bird leaving the nest for the first time. It takes courage to believe it can fly. Unlock your door and fly. You know you can.
NOTE: What we do with what we’ve experienced makes all the difference in our lives. We can allow negative experiences to fill us with bitterness and anger. We can also allow negative experiences to teach us lessons we would not have otherwise learned. We can transform our negative experiences into something that creates good. Our positive experiences are the foundation blocks of our confidence. Recall these positive moments and build on them.
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell
NOTE: I was out of town this past week. I took an early morning walk. A woman, walking in front of me, wore a t-shirt with the following message printed on the back of her shirt: “If it’s not challenging, you’re not changing.” Wow, there is truth in that statement. Easy may be nice, but it doesn’t give us the opportunities to grow, to discover the stuff we’re made of. Embrace the challenges. You’ll discover your stronger and tougher than any challenge that comes your way.
NOTE: You are unique. You are one of a kind. You have a gift that no one else has. The gift you have ties directly to the journey you’re on. You have all you need to be successful. You have all you need to overcome any challenge that comes your way. No fear. Fill your tank with confidence and hope. It’s all going to work out right.
“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”
NOTE: There are lots of cultural pressure to chase wealth. Yet, chasing wealth isn’t a guarantee of happiness. When we tap into discovering our life’s true meaning we link to our destiny. We may not acquire great wealth, we will acquire great satisfaction, happiness, and personal peace. It takes heaps of courage. Here’s hoping you are following your bliss.
