Sometimes it is easy to want to become something other than your self.
In your life I challenge you to think about these three areas and answer the question:
Who are the people in your life you provide a
sanctuary to or with
you provide
a nourishing relationship with
you provide a place
of encouragement.
Instead of looking for new relationships or friendships or places where you can make a difference
perhaps you just need to stop and realize
YOU ALREADY ARE.
If you stopped being a place of safe refuge for someone
If you stopped giving nourishing behaviors or attitudes
If you stopped inspiring or encouraging
would anyone notice?
I believe the answer would be YES.
May we learn to become what we already are and
learn to accept it
with an attitude of gratitude.
learn to accept it
with an attitude of gratitude.
Thank you for the "food for thought!"
