A Snippet of Inspiration
Week Five
When I look back on my younger self I see someone who wasted a lot of time trying to fit in with people and places that just weren't me.
This is what I want to tell my younger self.
We are each unique and our paths are unique. So each day I spend time learning and listening to my inner self. Who am I and where do I belong?
You are a beautiful and unique flower. It's never too late to find out where YOU belong.
it takes a long time to figure ourselves out.
ReplyDeleteIt does. I often wish that I knew then what I know now :)
DeleteI love growing older then it all seems like the rest was worth it or maybe I no longer worry about it. Age does wonders for your self esteem. Hug B
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's so wonderful not to have to worry anymore about fitting in. :)
DeleteI'm learning that, but it's hard when people try to pour you into the mold they've always put you in. Thanks for the encouraging word.
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful advice,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Laura, and great advice.
ReplyDeleteI think that as we age we realize so many of the things we thought were so important in our youth really do not matter. I am myself and if others don't like me this way - then let it be. It's just not important to please everyone and be everyone's best friend. Ahhh, what a freedom!

Laura, I know that I have changed through the years. I hope for the better. I have always tried to be kind...because it matters. It is easier to one's self than to try to be someone else. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI was close to 50 before I realized where I DID NOT belong. Took me till age 54 to get out. It took all the courage I could summon, and I was terrified of the world he said I could not make it alone in. I like being alone. He was wrong.
