We become codependent on quotes don’t we?

We become codependent on quotes don’t we?

What this means is that if we asked ourselves do we feel confident enough to have and share original thoughts – clear, concise and compelling thought – would we default to that?

You’re yelling so loudly, i can’t hear what you say.

Or would we doubt ourselves and never make it to first base?

The glorious part of igniting a midlife celebration is nurturing our self-confidence. And when we rely on our own voice, not someone else’s, to inspire us, we have tasted an uncommon freedom.

PS. Often, yelling isn’t words, it’s our actions (or inaction) that clearly speak.

Thank you Donna Flanagin for sharing this…

Have seen the final sentence as a famous quote, but never in the whole context presented here:

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. (unsure of source)

Aloha.
