Note to Self

Dear Self,


How fortunate are you? What a great alignment you have in your life right now. All your educational book studies are right in line with your growth. The weekly articles provided by Winners Circle about happiness and gratitude are divine confirmations that you are on the right path. Being open to your truth and gifts are soaring you into a life full of dreams come true.

About 15 years ago you read Emotional Intelligence and you gifted that book to your very first student. Here you are at a brand new crossroad and find yourself reading the second book on this new journey. There is something very poetic about this. Your journey about honesty and truth is bright and the path is being lit with every step. Everything will come as needed.

You've spent time looking back and shining the light on your own darkness. It's time to shine the light on your strengths and take ownership of what you do well. 

• I remind people why their work is important and how it makes a difference.
• I show people how to find their talents and strengths and help make the connections to improve their reality.
• I point out the greater meaning in daily events, putting the bigger picture into perspective and bring calm to current difficulties.
• I point out the achievements and patterns of success and show them that their life has made a difference.

These were a few of the strengths that were identified for you when you took the strengths quiz. Remember these and work with them in everything you do.

Self, You are being recognized. Your being shown your value and worth. YOU KNOW WHAT? It's only you who couldn't see it until now. There were lots of positive affirmations from people in your life. You choose not to hear them. You choose the comfort of struggles. I am so proud of you for finally listening. Keep going.

UPDATE: I wrote this in November of 2017. I didn't publish it. I didn't think it was ready. Today is January 1st 2018 and I am sitting down in front of my computer ready to write about the journey ahead of me. I reread this post thinking I would add it to whatever I was about to sit down and write but as I did I realized I had it here simply for me to read. Today I needed to hear this message that I wrote to myself. Today I needed to be reminded of the truth I discovered in 2017 and hold it in my heart. I changed nothing from the original post. 

Today I received the message I wrote for myself and I am passing it on in hopes that someone might need to hear their own truth when they read this. Have you found your strength, your purpose, your truth? It's okay if you are still looking for it. I found mine when I started listening to my heart and stopped looking for anything more.
