Never Too Late

"It's never too late to be what you might have been." -George Eliot

I love this quote! I'm 29 years old, I've been married for almost 7 years, I've been a mother for a little over 1 year and I feel like I am just now discovering my true self. My 20's have been a long journey of ups and downs trying to figure out who I am, what I believe in, what I'm passionate about, what I want to do in life, who I want to be and how I fit in this world. FINALLY, I feel like I've found me!!!

I think as children we model our parents and siblings because they are the examples of what adults are. This is natural and how we learn. But, as we become adults we must break away - take the lessons we have learned, fuse them with our own ideas of self and become the unique and wonderful human beings that we were created to be.

Sometimes it makes me sad that it has taken me this long to gain a strong sense of self, but I read the quote above and I realize it's never too late! I am thankful for the journey I have been on because it has made me strong and challenged me to be fully me! And I am thankful that I am still young and have lots of time (I hope) to continue to grow, change, discover, dream, create and pursue life unabashedly.

So, my "charge" for the day is this....GO! Go discover who you are! Go be a part of life! Go live authentically! Go out into the world and be YOU - because YOU are wonderful!
