Have you ever thought about how often you're looking down instead of looking up. It may be more often than you're aware. Looking down at your phone, iPad, computer in your lap, or as you walk. As Autumn continues, this season of change and evolution is a good time to step back, see the horizon, take a leap and soar high, actually look up and look at ourselves. When no one else is looking, it matters the most that we're honest with how we're living up to our own standards. Be your own validator. You may fool other people but you know the truth about how you measure up. Take the doubts and fears and breathe courage into them. Like the might oak tree whose branches reach outward and upward, look up and stretch yourself.
