Change but be yourself

"When I dare to be
powerful, to use my strength in the service
of my vision, then it becomes
less and less important whether I am
afraid".....Audre
Lorde

Recently I was presented with the question "would you change anything?". As my age increases and my future is a question mark, I must admit that the thought of erasing bad choices, embarrassing moments, and heartache is a little more then tempting, however im left to wonder, isn't it these things that make us who we are? for better or for worse?

I have lived a big part of my life in fear, tenacious to the core and unwilling to change. Recent events involving both priorities as well as a little heartache have opened my eyes! What scares me now is holding back and holding on. This is the first week of the rest of my life. Fear no longer consumes me with weakness, it is now my strength, my strength to succeed. Think about it, open YOUR eyes. Fear is not holding you back, you are.
