labels

How many times do you get caught up thinking of yourself as one thing as defined by what you do...for example, a parent, a plumber, a banker, etc.


And then you get confused because you feel like you're not just that, you're also a son, a sister, a friend, a member of a sports or social group, someone who has to take care of the family finances, do the maintenance on the car, clean the house, do volunteer work, etc.


We are all so busy these days! Yet sometimes think we can only focus on one of these sides of ourselves at a time.


What if you thought of yourself as a diamond? So many different sides, yet it takes all of them to capture the light to make it shine so very brightly..

..that is you!

Don't try to limit yourself with one label. Know that it is good to have different sides of yourself. You don't have to show just one at a time. Let yourself move through those different aspects of yourself as if you were imagining moving a diamond in the light, watching yourself sparkle as you show your best in each situation. Flow effortlessly through the different aspects that move together to make you the sparkling light that you are.

love this post! how true... sometimes i feel like we(society) make sense of the world by labeling... and then stereotyping, but often this really just limits our potential to understand one another.
