Thank you....
My favorite quote of all times is "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same."
I just wanted to share that quote because it has been on my mind lately and as I watch and admire people for who they are and what they do, I've realized this is why I admire those people. The people who make me feel as though I have the permission to show what I have to offer and who I truly am are those whom I admire. I see the confidence, strength and especially happiness in those people. I watch in admiration how they seem to have their lives perfectly handled and figured out. I used to think they must have everything and nothing seemed to ever be wrong in their lives. I recently realized it isn't because their lives are simple, and free of challenges. It is simply because they know who they are and take a positive outlook on what is happening and work towards the future they see. It is mostly about the fact that they are grateful for the lives they live and that they make the most of every challenge that gets in the way. The most admirable trait these people hold are the strength to be grateful that they are brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous. And in believing and being grateful for that, they are also those people who make me feel as though I can do the same.
Just a thought I wanted to get out. Tim and I are really trying to work on being positive and looking forward to our futures and focusing on what is going to get us there. I really think that being around these types of people has helped. So Thank you to those of you who are brave enough to conquer one of the most common greatest fears.
