It's not your beginnings that matter most!

I was drawn to see the movie Kung Fu Panda 2 today and I was curious what message it might have for me.  Anytime I’m drawn to a movie it’s because there is something for me to pay attention to in it.  And there was!

The movie was fun to watch, but here is the ‘gem’ I walked away with—and in a kid’s movie too.

Even though your beginnings weren’t happy, it doesn’t matter.  It isn’t your beginnings that make you who you are.  What matters is who you choose to be now.  And it is who you choose to be that makes you who you are now.

I felt much of what has been bothering me recently dissolve and resolve itself.  TODAY is what matters.  Who I choose to be TODAY is what’s important.  How I choose to feel TODAY; how I choose to behave TODAY—that is what makes me who I am.

Regardless of your beginnings, you have a choice to be or not to be, to change or stay the same, to heal or not, to use your voice or to remain silent, to stand in your courage or continue to be afraid.  There is great power in that message—It is who you choose to be that makes you who you are.

Today I choose to be a Brave Woman walking my Journey of Courage, using my voice for
healing and standing in my own truth.

Who do you choose to be today?
