Growing up there were so many times I would push the original me away in order to be accepted and I would only let people see what they wanted to see. Not embracing myself caused so much harm not just to myself but to those around me! The key to discovering your power or success is first realizing  the greatest power you have is YOU. Embracing the real you will cause life to become so much better and greater. Today is so awesome because I've dropped the mask that I thought I had to wear to go through the door of opportunity. The REAL YOU is the BEST YOU! thanks for listening.
