Be Great

Time to stop and ask myself, "Have I stopped moving since the beginning of 2022? 

WOW, time to get it together. I figured I would relax and unwind get ready for another thing. I reflected on my day the other day and remembered telling a someone good luck and hated the sound of it. I hated it, as soon as it left my lips, I made a mental note, ewww, I have to think of something else to say. 

During a night of reflection, I recalled a conversation I had with my youngest daughter about greatness. Why is it wrong to be great? Why do we as individuals sit down and decide we will dim our own light to help others. And why do we not wonder how is that helping? To see you trying to be as timid as possible because of what they know to be true? I understand humbleness, the sweetest kindness gesture to show that this is not to belittle you or make you feel inadequate, I am only being my best self. In this conversation with my daughter, I told her it is okay to be great. To put your best foot forward, and believe in you. I'm learning to do it. I am finding the way to allow myself to reach the potential of me, and if you believe its astronomical out of this world, then thanks for joining me. 

My belief is my life will bring the awareness of what is already inside of anyone who comes into my experience, especially my children.  My desire for them is that they know that I always have sought, saw, and continue to see the greatness in them. In moments where I forget, I am reminded of the gratefulness in hearing them laugh, that a dream I had is true, and continues to come true. 

The feeling of people constantly judging, trying to figure you out, we all do it, is purely a limitation of self and may bring a fear of will they accept me. But the difference is all in how do we do it, the intention.  When sending you, what are you conveying to the world, love, peace, joy? What you dish out, it will come back. I am learning to be who I am, no matter what, its the only way to be. 

But in these moments of thinking of who is wondering, what did they say, love who you are, be who you are, be great. Love the inadequacies and make them to your liking, love on people even when they don't want to receive your love, be the beautiful person you came here to be. Wondering if you are doing too much, or too little and what  people saying you are, is an act of self-limiting beliefs. Don't be afraid to be you.  

I found myself striving for the unattainable crown of perfection in fear that if I showed any imperfections the naysayers will say now, "You cant be that too". So I would dim my light in hopes that if I'm quiet, no one can point out the imperfections that I have dreamt up, and if I sit in the corner and be quiet, not make a sound, you don't see me. But you do. Because there is so much more. Where does your story begin, in every moment you decide to write your story, start living, the very essence of who you are, your truth. No matter where you are, it can always get bigger. And when others perceive your greatness to be bigger than their own, arrogancy may be a word that is used to describe you, however, know that your own importance of your abilities is exuberated through every single thing you do, so at the end of the day, Be Great!


 

Be Great,
