“Each of us is a magnificent creation.
But we’re all so afraid to
let people see
who we really are."
- Penny
All too often, we're afraid to be ourselves, to say how we are really feeling, to allow ourselves to be vulnerable, to be playful, to be real.
Each of us
is a magnificent creation. And each of us has the courage to be authentic.
Consider Penny's perspective about this:
“Each of us is a magnificent creation,” said Penny. “But we’re all so afraid to let people see who we really are. How often
do we discourage one another, instead of celebrating our efforts? How often do we turn away from watching an awkward child dance? How often do we avoid eye contact when a person speaks nervously? Who said we have to have pretty voices to sing? In heaven, all our voices sound beautiful!”

herself.

THE THIRD GIFT IS COURAGE.

and use courage to follow your own path.
