The Boy Who Stayed Over
Beautifully Broken
I hope this has been a good start to your week. I'm thinking about you....... You will automatically begin forgiving, supporting, acknowledging, and appreciating yourself when you do so for others. Healing others is not just a gift you are giving to the world. It is also a gift to you. What can you do today to support and acknowlege someone?
Look at who you are, compare it to who you want to be, and ask yourself why they do not match. Ask, "Is what I want to be really appropriate to who I am, or is it something I was told I should be?" The more you can clear yourself of other people's programs, expectations, and pictures of you, the more powerful you will become.
