Daily Gratitude: “The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to one’s opportunities.”

I wish I could have believed that when I was younger. Sure, I heard it all the time but it seemed as if it only applied to other people, not me.

I had so many opportunities that I wasted. And they were wasted primarily because of fear. It’s truly amazing that I made it to this age being wrapped in fear my whole life. It was as if I was surrounded by plastic wrap with no room to breathe or grow.

This is why I think it’s so important that kids be exposed to IFS (Internal Family Systems) and continue their work with it throughout their life.

In the 6 years I’ve worked so much with it, I have become a totally different person- and still have a long way to go.

I have mentioned this before too. I was never happy until the last maybe 4 years. I guess I feigned happiness because I didn’t know what it really was until recently.

Never let fear keep you from trying something. If you can get past it and step out into a new opportunity, I bet you’ll be happy and proud. The confidence you’ll gain just from trying something new will shock you.

We are all here to continually grow and making the most of the opportunities presented is the best way to grow!
