Embrace the New You

We are ever changing characters, evolving with each passing today. While all of us have engaged in negative experiences in life and may have done some things we wish we hadnt, we all have the chance to change. And, today I possessed the opportunity to meet someone who possessed such a beautiful, strong, yet fragile spirit. She reminded me of so many strong beautiful women who have come, and some that have gone before me. You know the kind...she may have been your grandma, or mother, auntie or girlfriend. She may have been dealt some tough cards in life but still perseveres amongst all the trials. This person reminded me that sometimes it is so arduous for us to let go of the past and of who we used to be. Although we rise after we fall and dust our shoulders off each time, a piece of the past experiences still linger in our souls. And, often, we get stuck in the shame or helplessness of who we used to be. But, the lesson to remember is that we have the autonomous power to allow the past to stay behind us and remember that today is a new day and that who we are in this moment is what matters most. Some may call it grace, mercy, blessings, etc.

Each day that we rise, we are granted the opportunity to become the best version of ourselves! So capitalize on the given day and enjoy the person you are now and reach forward to the person you are striving to become.
