Be Yourself - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

"Just be who you are, calm and clear and bright. Automatically as we shine who we are... that turns away those who have nothing to learn from who we are and attracts those who do, and from whom we have to learn as well." -Richard Bach

Each of us have our own special gifts to bring to the world.
We can only do that when we are being ourselves.
Trying to be like someone else only dims the natural light that shines within in each of us.
If we're busy trying to be someone that we're not, the world will miss the uniqueness that is inerhent in our own special spirit.

((((((Gabe))))))

This reminder really touches on some stuff in me today...some stuff that I need to remember, to carry with me each day so I stay where I need to be, rather than where others want me to think I should be. Thank you for this...it's one to carry with me.

Just be who you are

gotta find her before I can be her...

today...
I feel like I have uncovered an edge of the small immutable core of myself..
undiseased...

and it's pink.. and healthy ... and wants to grow...

Blessings on the journey...
all our journeys.

I don't know who I want to be.
