Give me wings and I shall fly......


 
Why is it that we are all so programmed to be grounded, firmly planted, self-conscious, take no risks, stuck in the box, to just love where we are and keep our heads out of the clouds?

Seriously, roots are one thing. We all need to know who we are and where we came from but where we are going is forever a mystery waiting to unfold ahead of us which we can change at any given time by any given choice. It’s that simple, really it is.

Why is it weird, flighty, irresponsible, childish, selfish, disrespectful or silly to dream a dream, to be open to possibilities, to accept an opportunity when it arises (even if the timing is not perfect…really whenever is it?)

They often say “grow some balls” to the boys…..so I think it should be “grow some wings” to the girls. Why not? Same thing, isn’t it? Really? Think about it.
 
Every once in a while you need to remind yourself that you have those wings. You can fly, you can soar above all else and you can dare to pursue those dreams and make them reality. Have some fun, open up your soul and take flight to the endless possibilities that await you.

 Dare to be you, not someone else’s version of you.
YOU
Just you, the one that has her own ideas, beliefs, dreams and freedom.

So, what’s holding you back? Is it time or money or fear?
Is it someone or something?
Figure it out.

Don’t let the world clip your wings but if it does, choose to never allow it to clip your soul.

 Find your wings and you too shall fly

Dear Fabulous Girl - a little motivation and inspiration


...found this and had to share:
Dear Fabulous Girl,

YOU know what you are about....you know who you are and what drives you....

Stand up for it.
Give what you have for it.
Believe in it.
Help it along.
Be part of it.
Protect it fiercely.
Love it with your whole soul.

WHATEVER IT IS...

BE BRAVE FOR IT.

If you won't do it...who will? The world needs more women, just like you...who are willing to stand up for what they believe in...what they are about.....it is time to be who you are!!! There are such important, beautiful things that will never happen if you do not do them.

You are absolutely mind-blowingly courageous....thank you for that.
