"I'd gone though my life believing in the strength and competence of others; never my own. Now, dazzled, I discovered that my capacities were real. It was like finding a fortune in the lining of an old coat."
~ Joan Mills
We've probably all known the delight of finding money when things were tight. Have you?
I can recall college days and newlywed times of finding a few dollar bills in a purse or a handful of change between sofa pillows. I wouldn't say I was dazzled, but I was
elated and jubilant. I might have even jumped for joy.
Did you know that about $2 billion in lottery prizes go unclaimed every year. And there's an estimated $850 million lying unclaimed in lost and forgotten bank accounts.
What is the undiscovered and untapped wealth within us worth? Far more than any amount of money, I believe.
If we only knew
how to readily claim, accept and develop our inner resources of love, talent, courage, hope, imagination, compassion, faith - all our gifts - we could achieve a rare way of living life, being fully ourselves.
With faith and enthusiasm, let's look within ourselves for more and more findings of our gifts, strengths and capacities.
Stirred, stoked, hopeful and joyful,
Charlene
