Found some encouragement.

So I was sitting at work and I read one of my friend's new blogs... he just started his own... and honestly, I was really encouraged by his words. I have known this person for 4 years now and he has always agreed with me on living life and following your dreams. I could always turn to him if I had a dream or a desire to be something more than who I was at the time. I like to think of myself as a person who wants to attempt the impossible or a person who knows she can do something. Lately I have been helping my family out in the business and I don't mind doing it at all, but I realized I still have my own dreams and I don't want to lose the passion I usually hold for what I love. So reading my friend's blog, he wrote something about when you say "I wish" during the day you should take action and basically make what you wish come true. This really touched me and I am thankful for his insight. It reminded me that I need to keep my eyes on the prize so to say and remember that I have my own dreams for my life and its all good and nice to help your family, but don't let it stifle your own dreams. One day soon I will make my dreams come true. Thank you to my dear friend.

What do you fear?

"our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. we ask ourselves, 'who am i to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' actually, who are you not to be? you are a child of God. your playing small does not serve the world. there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. we are all meant to shine, as children do. we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. it is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. as we are liberated from our own fear, our prescence automatically liberates others."
