Today I accept my gifts and talents. I have kept myself in a sort of fog about my assets to avoid feeling guilty, competitive or overly responsible for them. Though I have craved attention and validation, when I actually receive it, what comes up for me is shame and anxiety. I worry that if I stand out too much in any direction, good or bad, I will become an easy target. I realize now that I can feel those feelings, move through them and let them go. I need not stay locked in fear. When I am willing to accept both my strengths and my limitations I feel better about my life. Arthur Schopenhauer once said “It is very necessary that a man should be appraised early in life that it is a masquerade in which he finds himself. For otherwise there are many things which he will fail to understand.” Today I recognize my expected range of understanding!
