Finding Fault

We often times hear that we are our worst enemy. This holds true, especially when identifying our faults. We seem to have no problem in listening to the negative things we say about ourselves, but if something positive happens we are quick to say that it was just luck. To get a better perspective of who we are, it may be better to speak to someone who doesn't know us very well. For a stranger may be more objective and honest in pointing out our weaknesses as well as our strengths. We may be hindering our life journey because we doubt our true abilities. Know that it is human to question ourselves and it takes concentrated effort in working towards understanding our strengths and overcoming our insecurities. Today, look beyond your faults and you will see glimpses of the special gifts that lay hidden within you. Sometimes you need to take things at face value instead of questioning every action that you take. You are a powerful being, if you let yourself be who you really are.


There is never perfection in nature, but this is pretty close...

(Somehow the flowers in the Northwest are so vibrant and colorful.
I love the bouquets that are sold at the farmer's markets.
Although they don't smell, they are so beautiful.)
