constant reminders

I haven't posted for a while. Life has been a little bit crazy and good slash bad, but life seems to hold all of the above. I watched an amazing movie last night that I had forgot about in a while called coach carter. I love inspiring movies. I think we all find our inspiration from different sources and movies is one of them for me. There is a quote in the movie that I want to share because its changed me and I know I will keep it somewhere I can see for the rest of my life.

What We Fear the Most

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure,

It is our light not darkness that most frightens us,

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s 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 presence automatically liberates others.

As life gets more crazy for me I love the reminders if it is from movies or from quotes or from friends around me that we have potential beyond measure and everyday is a new day to prove ourselves. Set backs are what keep us gaining what we care about most, life pushes us to improve and adjust. Adjusting is key to keeping our gains big. I may get frustrated and cry when life knocks me down... but I will always get back up and fight.

Lost

I dont give myself breaks much... But lately life is just falling to pieces and picking it all back up right just isnt working. I ran a 5k with a close friend this morning and it was her first time. It was an incredible experience to be apart of and I am so proud of her. It gave me motivation to get my crap figured out. I am not happy with myself or where I am at. Its wrong and its not me. The great thing is its not to late. Its never to late to do what you need to, to become who you want or transform yourself or your body. I let life get to busy for me and then let every weakness back in. I am stepping out and back and trying to get perspective so I can climb back in and make it work. We come to a point where it sucks and its just time to suck it up and figure it out and do it. So we do... we wake up tomorrow and do it.
