We Will Go Far!

"Yet if a woman never lets herself go, how will she ever know how far she might have got? If she never takes off her high-heeled shoes, how will she ever know how far she could walk or how fast she could run?" - Germaine Greer, writer and activist

I've shared before that I lived most of my life in fear when I was growing up.  Letting go was never a consideration when I grew into young adulthood.  The problem with choosing to live in fear was that I wasn't really experiencing life the way God intended it to be.  I wasn't getting very far for sure.

This quote makes me think about the lessons I was taught when I was growing up.  I thought my parents wanted me to be perfect.  I thought that if I couldn't do something perfectly, if I couldn't look perfect in every way, if the results weren't going to be 100% successful, then I didn't want to even try reaching new heights or goals.  I've realized as I've gotten older and matured a little bit, that this was not what my parents were telling me but it was what I thought they were telling me.  My perception can get mixed up at times.  This type of thinking for me has held me back at times but it's my own thinking that does it every time.

My prayers have been answered now.  I've learned to listen to God by listening to those friends whom I trust the most.  God speaks to me through them all.  I watched my friends let themselves go and kick their heels off in order to get the most out of their journeys and they had so much fun doing it.  I followed their examples and I've learned that I don't have to be scared to kick up my heels once in awhile.  I had no idea how far I could walk or how fast I could run.  Look out world!  Here I come!

Today I will let myself go, trusting that I can go much further if I am not holding myself back. I will trust my Higher Power to guide me as I let go of anything and everything that is holding me back. I am grateful. - K Kerswig, Blue Skies Life Coaching
