I don’t know if everyone just automatically feels comfortable in their own skin, I don’t know if it happens to women over a certain age? I just know for me, it took some time. I was sipping coffee in my sunroom enjoying some quiet time before the sun even came up and I realized that I was feeling a sense of peace. So I started to think about different circumstances life has thrown at me. Life will throw some good and bad at all of us at one time or another, and I started thinking about today, the moment, the present moment. I guess this is what reflection feels like? Or maybe meditation? In any case, it was a good feeling. In our Journey for success we can sometimes lose our authentic self. We try so hard to impress others, to make others like us, and to sometimes conform to what others want us to be, that when we sit down and think about who we are and why we started out on this journey, we cant remember!
I can actually admit to everyone right now that I am “authentically me”. I can honestly say that I can embrace gifts and I love to share them, and I can embrace my faults and I look forward to working on them! ! We all have both! When you try to be something or someone you are not just to :succeed” I know for me I could never really feel successful when I was trying to be someone else. Remember, there will always be someone who you cant connect with, there will always be someone trying to change who you are, and there will always be someone that tests your moral compass. Success to me over 40 is being able to stay true to who I am. To be comfortable in my skin and to admit that I am a work in progress. I am o.k. with learning new things and following new paths. Sometimes reluctantly at first I will profess, but I am always elated when I force myself out of my comfort zone and get it done! If there is anything I can teach any woman reading this right now trying to build her business and juggle family and all of our many obligations, or someone just trying to figure out who they are, Just remember to show up and be you every day! Most importantly, always try to be the best you that you can be. Be authentic and lets get our there and share our gifts with the world.
