Good Afternoon. Today is Friday, January 17 and here is our daily meditation.
January 17
We lack confidence, we cravesadmiration insatiably. We live on the reflections of ourself in the eyes of others. We do not dare to be ourself.
-Anais Nin
How aptly these words describe the person so many of us were. Many activities were not attempted, courses weren't taken, conversations weren't initiated because we lacked confidence. The pain, the constant search for acceptance and love in the eyes and behavior of others, still haunts us. But those days are past. We are daring to be ourselves, one day at a time.
Confidence still wavers on occasion, and we may need assurance that we're lovable. Gratefully, we can look to one another for the additional boost we may need to face the day. Being there for one another, knowing that we understand each other's fears, offers the strength to go ahead that we may lack today or tomorrow.

Today a person may need me to dare to be herself/himself. I will be there.
