Use Your Wings

“There is nothing holier in this life of ours than the first consciousness of love, the first fluttering of its silken wings.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

“Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Put down fear, worry, assumptions, labels, conclusions before ever starting.
Give people, circumstances, yourself a chance, grace and encouragement.
Move, take a step beyond your limiting thoughts, the past, the need to know everything.
Put things in motion.
Take flight.
A single step, then the next.
Jump, float, fly.
Look up, there’s a big sky.
Use your wings.

“When the darkness is seen as a necessary prelude to the creative light, one is less likely to ascribe frustration to personal inadequacy or label it as bad.” – Daniel Goleman
