Dear Friends,Life is scary. Other people try to live vicariously through you and steer you in directions that might not be what you want or need. And then you get confused.
And then there are some people who compare you to others like you are a participant in a beauty pageant...instead of an individual. And you begin to wonder if you are good enough.
And there are people who tell you that your dreams are too far away and unrealistic. There are people who expect you to settle-to forget lines that you have drawn and standards that you have set.
There are people who don't believe in you and they are waiting to see you fail...and sometimes...these people are much closer than you think.
There will only be a few champions who will cheer you on when you have been tossed into the ring with the tiger; only a few who pick you to be the winner.
I was not the prom queen and I am not a pharmacist. All of my ducks are still trying to figure out how to line up. Maybe they are confused too. Selling apples out of an old car in a third world country is tempting right now.
If you figure out the answer, let me know.
Sincerely,
Leslie
