“Our business in life is not to get ahead of others,
but to get ahead of ourselves --
to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today.”
Stewart B. Johnson
I think the most interesting thing I've learned on this quest to create myself
has been the recognition that nobody holds me back except myself.
Everyone around me encourages me to move ahead.
And the occasions where I've met those who say
"You can't" or "You shouldn't"
have served as a catalyst to propel me into a frenzy of activity.
Much like PacMan eating a power pellet and turning back to eat the enemy ghosts.
Yeah, just like that.
I wonder if that pellet would work on my own fears...
Yes it will! But you have to LET it... ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow chomp away girl!
XXOO~~♥

I´m with Anne, you have the pellet, it is just the will and desire to take it....
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so much better at fighting the outside stuff than the inside crap! What's funny though, is when I take on a cause that touches my heart deeply, and where I can offer something to the world around me, those inner fears become less of a focus and therefore a little less scary...at least sometimes...
ReplyDeleteKind of hanging out with the crappy stuff for a bit right now over here. Not my favorite place to be but maybe, just maybe, it is a necessary part of it, in order to know the really good stuff ?
What do I know ? ;-)
Happy munching, Pac-Woman !
