A little girl looked lost and her eyes felt like she was dreaming a happy dream, her hair in pigtails, her little bare feet running on the sea sand as she searched.....I tried to figure out what she was so desperate to find but her drive took her further away from her family picnic spot... She didn't bother about the ramifications of drifting too far off, she was steadfast in her approach......
She reminded me of a resilient little girl in me that was fearless, that fearlessness turned into ambition which in turn became a person I would not want to be friends with.
I allowed a self-imposed title to dictate who and what I am and should strive to be. I did not take time to appreciate the time I have and be happy with the place I am to enjoy the 'authentic' me that I allowed different ambitious titles to dictate my life. I was uncomfortable in my own skin and refused to accept the situation and let my life evolve into a different path. I felt that that would mean I was defeated. Writing my life on a new 'piece of rock' art each day is a beautiful innovation that changes as I want to explore everything with a new zest for life without being selfish. What is your piece of rock art today????
Like that little girl on the beach, she did not allow herself to enjoy the quality time she had to spend with her family, make special memories, laugh together and share together but she was on her on mission at getting what she wanted and gain her satisfaction for that short period of time which could have been a lifetime memory......She came back to her family with her face beaming and her hand full of rocks and shells. She had accomplished what she set out to find at the expense of enjoying a great day at the beach with family. That sacrifice costed her cherished moments for what---only--- she wanted.
Too often, we take the time we have for granted when every moment ought to be cherished....
Find the 'authentic' you to discover how you can give off your very best. It may be a profession, a simple thing that you always wanted to do which makes you happy but circumstance was in your way.... Find that passion.....
LIVE YOU BEST LIFE NOW!!!!!!
Believe It!!!!
