Draw Yourself Bright and Beautiful

The way we tell out life story
is the way we begin to live our life.
~ Maureen Murdock

We're all a compilation of the stories we tell ourselves.

Over our lifetimes, we've been told stories by our parents, our partners, our bosses, our friends, our culture, our church. Stories of who we are and who we are not; stories of what we can do and what we can not. Stories full of limitations.

But these stories are not who we are. We are so much more.

Only we can change the stories . . . by starting to tell ourselves the truth of who we are and beginning to shine our bright light on the world.

Begin this week to take enough breathing space to draw yourself as bright and beautiful as you really are. Find some quiet space to make a list of all your positive attributes, including the positive things you've been told by others (no false modesty here!). Ask yourself, "Why is it easier to believe the negative self-limiting stories?" "How can I begin to live from this place of truth?"
