I use to believe what I did really defined who I was.
It took hundreds of painful moments to open my eyes to the truth.
Whenever someone criticized my work I took it all to heart.
Taking correction for some things were difficult for me.
Even if someone was trying to help me, I only heard the words negatively.
The pain I felt was drowning out the motivation to grow from the moment.
Sadly I also had more pity party moments than I care to recall.
Fast forward years later and I gladly hear those assisting me.
There is no way that I know everything and will possibly do all things great.
Today I allow myself to grow rather than shrink back.
Back then because I allowed myself to live from a place of function and not who I was made me vulnerable to shame, and negativity.
The joy of my life is knowing who I am and that what I do is a result of my being.
Perhaps you are struggling with the same mindset I had of defining yourself by your work.
Let me encourage you to rethink everything.
See yourself as brilliant.
Allow yourself the freedom of renewing your mind to embrace the joy of just being you flaws and all.
Resist the urge to keep going back on yourself to perform for approval.
Embrace the joy of having short comings, not getting it right, or even saying the wrong things.
You are created amazing and others will see it and celebrate you.
Start today as the real you!
