Allow your own inner light to guide you

There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.
You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.
Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.
There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.
Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.
Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.
Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Stumbled across this 'thought'...and though I find my life to be unfolding how I always hoped it would, it's always great to give yourself a little reminder to keep strong, confident and moving forward! Got some AMAZING news yesterday that I will definitely share when I have signed the dotted line....slowly but surely! "Life has a way of working itself out..."
ps. you know you are getting old when you go shopping for 'work' shoes and you put away the point'ies and pick up the same shoes as your mother wears....please note though my mom has killer styles in shoes I replicated the same shoes she has that are considered grandma styles - it always amazed me she owned them, but I now find myself in the same boat. Comfort over style I guess?!? oh dear!
pps. going to Whistler in 2 sleeps!
