The last few days have taught me a lot...
and not unlike an acquired taste,
lessons seldom taste good the first time around,
but the absorption of this often foreign bitterness,
is precisely what propels you forward...
IF YOU ARE OPEN TO RECEIVE
which I would like to believe I am.
"Stepping up to the plate"
is seldom a space for the meek...
It often comes with an enormous dose of
opposing opinion, challenge, ridicule and
well... an overall lack of perspective or appreciation...
However,
if you can withstand all of that,
it also comes with an huge amount of
fulfillment, reward and growth.
I may not always like what is dished to me
when I "step up to the plate"
but it will take a lot more than me feeling
momentarily weak
to step down, back up, walk away or give up.
I will stand,
I will speak my mind,
the truth and everything that screams within me.
Often misunderstood, disliked, and possibly hated,
but...
This is how I am, this is WHO I am -
and this is how I do things!
THE END!
Until next time...
Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx
