I haven't been around here in a looong while. BUT I am here now so I am giving myself credit for that! :P
Life has been crazy and flip-turned-upside-down for me. It has been a time of EXTREME growth for me in many areas of life that haven't been exercised in an extensive amount of time, if ever. I am overjoyed and ever so hopeful about the life I am creating for myself even though it came with a great price to make room for this change.
I read something not to long ago about how we as people desire change in our lives so much but are unwilling to give things up to make room for that change. So we, in turn, remain stagnant in our lives doing the same old thing day in and day out. It takes a great deal of courage to step out into the unknown, away from what is familiar and secure (whether we like it or not). So for that, I give myself credit. I did it. I have listened to my heart and taken heed. For that too, I give myself credit. There is a peace for me in knowing that I have followed and continue to follow my heart. I know that I am fulfilling whatever it that I was created to do, doing it the way only I can do it because I am fully embracing who I AM. Yay me!!
In the past I tried so hard to be who I SHOULD BE and held myself up to that impossible standard mercilessly. Gah! That's a horrible place to be! I tried so hard to stop doing that too! It wasn't until I decided to follow my heart into the unknown that I have been able to truly let that go. Because here, in the unknown, my heart is the only thing I have to rely on. I have to trust my heart and it's connection to my Maker, knowing that He is the one who programmed it and that following my heart will lead to me to my greatest version of myself. Go me! Credit being given. ......
Anyway, that's all I have for now. I hope all of you are doing great and #givingyourselfcredit too!!
