Everybody is a Genius

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Validation- "You are Great"

 I adore this so so very much! 

It is a little long but completely worth it!

"Validation"

To the Humble

So I have been reading quite a bit of poetry lately from Edgar A Guest. I came across this one (To the Humble) that thought that it was absolutely beautiful :) 

 If all the flowers were roses,
    If never daisies grew,
If no old-fashioned posies
    Drank in the morning dew,
Then man might have some reason
    To whimper and complain,
And speak these words of treason,
    That all our toil is vain.

 ...

If all the stars were Saturns
    That twinkle in the night,
Of equal size and patterns,
    And equally as bright,
Then men in humble places,
    With humble work to do,
With frowns upon their faces
    Might trudge their journey through.
 ...

But humble stars and posies
    Still do their best, although
They're planets not, nor roses,
    To cheer the world below.
And those old-fashioned daisies
    Delight the soul of man;
They're here, and this their praise is:
    They work the Master's plan.
 ...

Though humble be your labor,
    And modest be your sphere,
Come, envy not your neighbor
    Whose light shines brighter here.
Does God forget the daisies
    Because the roses bloom?
Shall you not win His praises
    By toiling at your loom?
...

Have you, the toiler humble,
    Just reason to complain,
To shirk your task and grumble
    And think that it is vain
Because you see a brother
    With greater work to do?
No fame of his can smother
    The merit that's in you.

Daisies are my favorite flower, always have been.

They are not seen as a delicacy

Most people would probably much rather see a rose then a daisy- especially on a date ;) but...

I love daisies because every time I see one, I am reminded of the sun, of the joy and life that it brings. 

Daises are beautiful because they light up the world. 

Their lights are small, but even the smallest light can make a difference. 

Don't you dare forget to shine, even if your light is small :)

Looking through the Window

Much of life is spent looking through a window

We watch so many different things out there
Careers, different relationships, places to travel
The delicacies of life
The things we dream about


At first we are happy to watch them- these things are new, exciting and unlike anything we have seen


A certain point comes of watching... waiting... Where we want more then just our seat in front of the window
We want to experience these things for ourselves


But we are afraid to leave and we ask ourselves
What if it is not as good as it seems?
We let this question work in us until it fills us with doubt and despair
And you stay, staring outside your window
letting it eat you up on the inside  

....and then, you miss out on so much.....


But, instead of asking if it will be as good as it seems, ask this instead....

How will you ever know unless you try?

Don't let fear of what might be take away all that you CAN be

Do it... I dare you
