SHIFTING

"Do one thing every day that scares you." Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm not the same person I used to be.

It happened so slowly I hardly noticed.

Life has taught me that I'm not in control.

I have encountered darkest depths that most can't imagine.

I have suffered.

I have prayed.

I overcame.

Now I am different.

It's been a lifelong journey learning to show up as I am.

My greatest desire is to always be authentic.

I've learned there is no passion in living a life that is less than you're capable.

So, I must simply try.

I often got in my own way.

My lack of confidence enabled me to accept less than I deserved.

The moments I failed to architect my own destiny; I fell into someone else's.

Then realized, that any given moment I have the power to change my story.

I have started over more times than I can count.

Today, I'm letting go of all that went wrong.

I'm taking a deep breath and trying again.
