A mid week Thought

A good friend sent this quote to me, and I had to share it.

"We begin to find and become ourselves when we notice how we are already found, already truly, entirely, wildly, messily marvelously who we were born to be." --Anne Lamott


This is real interesting. People go on these journeys to "find themselves", when in all actuality all of the ingredients of you are in the mirror! We have all these gifts, and because they are wild and messy, we can't see them. We want our talents to be neatly stacked on a shelf, patiently waiting for us to come in and decide to use them. The reality is that it doesn't work that way. Our gifts are hidden under all that mess that we call life. So take a breath, dig through the mess and marvel at what terrific talents you have today.
