Valuing Our Selves

I’ve wanted to inspire others to come out of their shells and embrace the creative beauty waiting to emerge from inside them.

I’ve wanted to represent a vision that anyone can overcome difficulties if they believe in their heart they’ve the right to challenge them.

I’ve wanted to have my life’s choices show how far I’ve come – the ground gained and pride won, even though I’m still struggling.

I’m learning that maybe “conflict” might happen every day, and that I don’t have to associate it with thoughts like “it shouldn’t.”

Self analysis is productive, but self criticism is destructive.

Giving our efforts another chance to succeed, no matter perceived prior “failures,” is what keeps us adapting and overcoming.

Modesty, while being valiant, remains key.
