The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it. Thucydides
I read this quote a few days ago and I've been pondering whether my vision of what I want to become is clear. I'm pretty good at visualizing (I always get those close parking spots) but when it comes to who I want to become it's not quite as clear.I loved this picture because it's fuzzy....kind of like me. To be truly fearless I need to have that vision. I need to spend time on my knees...my Heavenly Father clearly knows my potential and knows what path is best for me. And the good news is that when the path gets too hard...as fearless as I may try to be, He will be there to urge me on, protect me, and even carry me.
So what is my vision? What is yours? In terms of baby steps, what do I want to be doing at the end of the month that will reflect my fearlessness? Where do I ultimately want to get to?
What does "me - living at my potential" look like?
One thing I do know...it's where joy is found.

I love the questioning process that begins with "What does that look like?" BECAUSE at that point, the answers are action words. I can do action. Vague escapes me every time!
It is good for me when I ask questions. i don't answers unless I ask. Ask and ye shall receive. I also want better vision and the ability to see my potential, or at least not be fearful of what my potential might include. I sometimes get a glimpse and then let fear take over.
I think I'm in a rut of having a vision of who I WANT to be that is not exactly in line with who I NEED to be... I see myself as a professor teaching in college, yet I need to find a vision of me being (and loving to be) a mom. Hmm... time to get on my knees.
