We (Sharon and Nancy) love speaking with you about being yourself, your unique, incredible self.
Our 2023 challenge: Vow to live your life – not being confused by others’ expectations of you, not trying to be someone you think you should be, not holding back, and not pretending.
Listen to this old legend:
A washerman found a lion cub and trained it to carry laundry with his donkeys. The cub lived many years with the washerman and his donkeys carrying laundry down to the river. The lion cub acted like a donkey, braying and being a beast of burden.
Until one day, another lion came along and said, “You are a lion.”
The lion cub said, “That’s impossible. I am a donkey.”
The lion took the cub to the river and showed him his reflection. He then taught the cub to roar. The cub realized his true nature and became a great king of the forest.
There are many messages tucked inside this story. Which ones resonate with you?
- If I am adaptable enough to be a beast of burden, what else can I do?
- If I am simply being the person others expect, in what ways might I be living in a daze, out of touch with my heart?
- How courageous can I be to live into my true self?
WHO DO YOU BELIEVE YOURSELF TO BE?
Be you,
RelationSmiths, Nancy and Sharon
