We examine ourselves to know who we are. And who we are is told in our actions and our important relationships as well as what we wish for ourselves. When we know where we currently stand, we can determine how to get to where we’d like to be.
Look at a picture of your childhood self. Would that child be proud of the adult you have become?
For me, I think so. There certainly were some circuitous routes to today, but maybe they were necessary. Little me would be happy that I am caring, giving, responsible, a mother, a wife, a friend, a girl scout leader, and an artist. She’d be happy knowing I am doing some good in the world. Plus, I can drive now!
What about you???
Naomi, what a wonderful question. After some thought, I think Little Me would be astonished–and yes proud–at all I’ve done with this one wild and precious life : )
