42 Days to go until I turn 50!
So I’ve decided to share 50 GlowTips to Get Your Glow ON – one per day, in no particular order of importance and just as they come to me…
And
here’s #GlowTip
10) You are not your circumstances!
And you are
not the roles that you play.
It doesn’t
matter who you were, where you’ve come from, what you’ve done, or what you’re
doing now — your circumstances and roles
don’t define who you are.
Circumstances
and the roles we play can change in an instant — and then who are we? And my
answer to that is: I am still Me!
When we start
identifying ourselves with where we are and what we do — we limit ourselves and
give up our power to choose. And often this can keep us stuck in Victimville.
I’ve been
rich, I’ve been poor, I’ve been in a long-term relationship, I’ve been single,
I’ve been a partner in a successful business, I’ve been unemployed, I’ve been a
stepmother, I’ve been a boss, I’ve been a freelancer, I’ve been a mentor, I’ve
been overweight, I’ve been underweight, I’ve been a smoker, I’ve been unfit,
I’ve been a student, I’ve been a teacher, I’ve been an expert, I’ve been a
beginner, I’ve been…..so many things that
do not define who I am!
I am whomever
I choose to be right now!
And I’m not prepared to allow my circumstances to define me.
I’d rather create circumstances to reflect who I am!
And I’m not prepared to allow my circumstances to define me.
I’d rather create circumstances to reflect who I am!
Society loves
to give us labels. But we don’t have to take those on as our identity. Who we are is so much more than our circumstances.
I choose to
be abundantly healthy, wealthy, happy, loving and joyful — regardless of my
circumstances; regardless of where I am and
who I’m with.
So never mind
the circumstances — here’s to being whomever we choose to be!
I choose to be Me!
With Love,
