"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time."
Like the Rabbit who longs to be Real, (and like Brene Brown, the author of today's quote) may we be patient with ourselves and work at becoming fully authentic bit by bit, in every little circumstance, every conversation, every choice.
Becoming Real does take time. It also takes loving ourselves and forgiving ourselves when we wear a mask, when
we try to fit in and please others, when .... oh, there are so many ways we can be untrue and not Real. I have experience with many of them. How about you?
With courage and reverence for our uniqueness, let's aim today to take steps - maybe some baby ones, maybe a big giant one - toward becoming fully Real.
Reaching in for courage,
