Journal Quote-Where you are….

This week’s journal quote is:

“Where you are is a cause for celebration-not an apology”

I found this quote today in my “The Courage of Leadership” cards from Nancy Solomon.

For me this quote means a lot. See there are many times I sit here and go I am not where I want to be, I am not where I had planned out 5 years ago or in high school etc etc and I start giving out excuses of why I am not where I thought I should be, making an apology to myself and sometimes to my family for not being where I had planned.

When I read this quote it hit me so what if I am not where I thought I would be, I have come farther then I ever had written done.  No I may not have my dream house like I had planned, I may not be rich or have my dream car right now…BUT I have come a long way…when I came online 5 years ago I didn’t know how to send an email attachement I now run a popular internet radio show, coach others in virtual assistance, build websites and do logos and other graphic work for clients, run a health podcasting directory and will soon be opening up a healthy living online magazine!

I never would have imagined being where I am today 18 years ago in high school!  I have actually come farther then my own plans ever were…

I do not need to apologize for old dreams or for old goals list, goals and dreams change as you get older….love were you are today and be proud of what you can do! 

Do a dance! Celebrate who you are and celebrate your accomplishments so far in your life, NO MORE excuses NO MORE apologies for who you are or where you are in life
