This is the truth.
Or, as they used to say, “Word!”
Maybe we just assumed we’d be….fill in the blank.
Maybe it’s what our parents wanted for us.
Maybe we thought our horizons were limited, that we couldn’t be anything else.
Maybe we got stuck in a rut.
Maybe we’ve been on autopilot.
Maybe it’s time to awaken to who we really are.
To imagine something different for ourselves.
Think about it.

February 7, 2017 at 8:52 amYup. I’m thinking about it. And thinking. It certainly is important enough to do just that. I don’t want my horizons to be limited, but I better play the lottery!!!

February 7, 2017 at 9:29 amIt’s interesting that we often see limitations that don’t relate to our lives as much as we think. I’ve definitely had that experience.When I opened up to what the Universe had for me, I saw that it was better and richer than what I thought I wanted, even if it wasn’t exactly as I envisioned. I suspect that this is the case with you. From this vantage point I see Spirit using you in so many inspirational ways, important ways. Your impact on the world is huge. One day we’ll have to talk about this!
Cathy Chester says
February 7, 2017 at 10:57 amWe surely will. A great conversation to look forward to! xo And thank you.

February 7, 2017 at 11:08 amSo true! I also have to battle what other people think I should be. I have to define success my way and not through other people’s perspective.Thanks for sharing!

February 7, 2017 at 3:17 pmThis is my present “now”. Who am I? What am I doing? Do I even like me?
Kaitlyn says
February 7, 2017 at 4:08 pmI love this because it is so true. We need to let go of expectations but we also cannot stop pushing ourselves to reach our goals. I had this internal battle all last year when I became a mama!

February 7, 2017 at 7:09 pmYes, I so love this quote! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to appreciate myself more. In the past I was harder on myself.

February 7, 2017 at 8:44 pmI realized that I should start being honest to myself years ago. We can’t be that imaginary person that we or the people around us want us to be. We have to be who we really are and once you start accepting that, you’ll start having a better view of life.
Entrepremom says
February 7, 2017 at 9:42 pmA great reminder! Someday I’d have the courage to face my personal goals.
I am a baker by profession but deep inside me I know that I’ve always wanted to be a dressmaker 🙂
Author Brandi Kennedy says
February 7, 2017 at 9:45 pmIt’s amazing isn’t it, what happens when you begin to really look at who and what you are, and how you got that way? When you begin to notice, and wonder, if you are what you are because you wanted to be that – or if it’s because when you were younger, someone told you that you should be that. But it’s in that wondering, in that finding of consciousness, that you truly find the power to know and become what YOU wanted all along.

February 8, 2017 at 4:52 pmThis is such a great reminder to be comfortable in your own skin. I have never really thought about how I got to be the way that I am today.

February 9, 2017 at 3:14 amLife is not about always staying the same, and so we are. I guess what’s important is to love who are and not stressed out on who you are not.

February 14, 2017 at 2:04 pmStuck in a rut is right – I’m FINALLY examining who I’ve been for the last 5 years, and pulling myself to where I want to be. Self-reflection is so important and I think so under-taught in the world today.
