You are the only one who can live your life.
No one else can take over for you in this important job.
You have to figure it out yourself.
Others may speak into your life, but never allow them to speak for you.
Others may point out areas that need work, but don’t allow them to change you.
Others may show you love, mercy, compassion, forgiveness and grace. You will only be great if you show it more.
Accept who you are and determine always everyday to be the best you you can be. The universe depends on your unique contribution.
You are an expert at being you, a whole, unique, exceptional person.
Believe in the greatness that being you brings.
You may not feel that your position or walk in life is important but it is. No one can take your place. No one can walk your walk.
Step carefully but, step boldly into the light of who God made you to be. As you embrace who you are completely, you find yourself flooded with light and it cannot help but flow out of you and into the world.
Master being you. It is one step away from the divine.
