Food for Thought: September 20

Belonging shouldn’t require constantly editing who you are.
There may be places where you naturally adjust, compromise, or meet people halfway.
But that’s different from repeatedly silencing your opinions, interests, personality, or needs just to avoid disapproval.
Pay attention to where you feel pressured to become less of yourself.
Acceptance means more when you don’t have to disappear to receive it. 💜

Where in your life do you feel most free to be yourself, and where do you notice yourself holding back?

“ How you look at a situation is very important, for how you think about a problem may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. When you get discouraged or depressed, try changing your attitude from negative to positive and see how life can change for you. Remember, your attitude toward a situation can help you to change it — you create the very atmosphere for defeat or victory." – Franco Harris
