About seeing your spirit shine...

Hello Friends,

A colleague recently asked me, "how it is you renew your spirit?"  Momentarily, I paused, wondering just what the answer was to something I know so surely within myself.  I struggled to find the words of explanation.  I realized as much as anything it's a feeling, sometimes not explainable; rather you simply know you are different from the way you were before.  The way you see and embrace things in altered and you wake up every single day with a renewed sense of gratefulness and all that lies before you.  While tired, you press on, ever focused on the goals you aspire to achieve.

What I have come to know with certainty, is our journey through life changes us.  We can choose with every event to be defeated and overwhelmed, or we can choose to just get better with every experience.  In the process of living our lives, we learn to open our heart and mind and take a risk, and it is then we learn to develop the internal tools and resolve we need.  We simply decide that life can beat us up, or it can define us, and as we learn to forgive ourselves that we simply don't have it all figured out, we allow our spirit to be renewed.  Until next time...
