INSPIRE ME!

Wow - I'd say our first group session with Mark and San has already hit home on many points. One of the most powerful things for me was when Mark said that we spend our entire life looking for proof (outside of ourselves) that we are OK. And it's never enough.

There have been so many times growing up that I've felt like an imposter. I work hard, I get recognized for doing something well, and then after the moment of validation fades, I turn around and feel I have to try harder because sooner or later someone will see that I don't really know what I'm doing, that I don't really deserve the recognition. There have been times that I've actually felt worse AFTER receiving the recognition. I look for other things in my life that discount the approval or compliment.

I AM OK. I know I believe that more now, but the insecure little girl is still in my head and my heart. I so look forward to learning how to love that little girl and to show her how beautiful and wonderful she really is... how beautiful and wonderful I really am - always.

We are all brilliant, beautiful sunsets!
