I have a responsibility to be my best self.  In my quest to be my best, it requires me to constantly circle back to who and what I am and what I want to be.  It requires me to remind myself that I am not my past, my thoughts and my emotions.  I don't need to feel and be so owned by all of the weight I carry around.  I can let go of it.  I can free myself of the burden of feeling inadequate or insecure.  As I often say, life is a journey and a practice.  We fall off the path sometimes and the only thing we need to do is redirect and take one step forward.
