Don't You Dare!

 

"Never underestimate your own strength. You 

were born for a purpose and are blessed 

with the power to achieve it."

Leon Brown

From a very early age, our culture or parents teach us not to think out of the box.  Peers tell us to use matching colors, and for heaven's sakes, don't dare color outside of the lines!  Color a lion purple or a zebra with asterisks not stripes, and certain ridicule will follow.

Truth telling at an early age can easily get us shushed and accurate reporting of visions will get us labeled as too imaginative for our own good.  So the unspoken evaluation is don't dare to be you.  The assessment is that who we naturally are is somehow wrong.

Please, muster the courage to be fully present while applying insights from authentic lessons.  Allow scars to be beautiful bookmarks of where the path once led. Let us be afraid, no more, to be a full version of whom we have always been meant to be.
