Stop playing small


L for years I thought I was doing the right thing by playing small.  I didn't understand the divine worth that I had or the way that I had the power to play a big part in this world. Thanks to a great friend I decided that I was done with playing small and I would go after what I wanted in life. I always had these thoughts or hopes to bring about healing, joy, and hope into this world.  I decided that I wanted to become a therapist,  do my blog, and write stories,  one day I hope to become a motivational speaker as well.  I start school this fall and I am determined to go after my dreams that I have had for years.  It's my turn to shine and be a leader in this world.  


What have you hoped for? Are you playing a small part in this world or are you leading this world to a better place? You may feel like one person can't make a difference,  but in reality one person standing tall makes a difference every day.  A person showing compassion and understanding makes a difference.  A person standing up for what they believe in just might be enough for others to do likewise.  One person being a friend to someone who doesn't have a friend or is being bullied makes a huge difference.  A person who smiles and spreads joy can be the very reason that a person carries on one more day. One comment that builds another can save a life.  Opening the door for another just might be the very reason that 100 doors are opened for others.  


By thinking that you don't matter or can't change the world is the very reason that this world is getting so much worse for everyone to live in.  What if we all stop saying that we are not enough and stop playing small this world would change for the better! We all need to stop fighting alone and stand up, speak out,  stand tall,  and know that we are enough to change this world for the better!

We are never really BROKEN

 We may at times in our lives feel broken,  but I promise that we are never really broken. Let me explain when we feel broken if we allow God to he can and will make something beautiful with our lives.  Its been during those broken times of my life that I have grown the most.  The times that I have felt like I couldn't go one more second that I have learned the most.  Those have been the moments that I have felt God's love for me the most. Do I want those broken times? Of course not! I wouldn't trade them for anything either because of what I gained during those times.  


We all wish that we didn't have to hurt,  but God trusts us so much that he allows us to be broken so that he can make us beautiful and see his hand in our lives.  God can only use our experiences. That means that the right person has gone through more in this life than others might have so that they can do the most good in this life.  Have you ever met someone who seemed to understand or have more compassion than others would have? Most of the time there's experiences and stories behind it. 


So the next time you feel broken thank God instead of getting angry or asking why me. Ask God instead what do you want me to do or learn from this phase of my life? By changing our attitude about being broken more gratitude and growth will come into our lives.  After all we are sent to earth to learn and grow.  God never said it would be easy but he has promised it will be worth it.  God will never ask us to do it alone,  he only wants us to ask for help from on high.
