Day 8- Follow the Yellow Brick Road

 

When I get to MY personal Emerald City Destination I will HAVE:

 

MY COURAGE like the Cowardly Lion... I will view things I use to hide behind my tail over as things to be faced and approached even if in little steps at a time. I am realizing that sometimes the ONLY way to the other side of fear and anxiety is THROUGH it.

 

MY Brains like the Scarecrow. Although I am blessed with a perfectly good brain, education, knowledge, creativity etc NOW.... it does me not much more good at progressing in life than if my head was stuffed with straw if I don't USE it and APPLY it in REAL LIFE outside of my own mind and thinking. I will have RETRAINED my BRAIN!

 

My HEART like the Tin Man. Although I HAVE a heart and a BIG ONE that if anything loves everyone even strangers and many people others don't love.....I don't always treat MYSELF a fraction as loving as I do to others.

I DO BELIEVE I deserve to be loved by me at least as much as I love others, so I am intent on practicing that. After all the more I love, the more I have to give away. Also I intend to take little tip toes at a time gently in the direction of not taking EVERYTHING personally and to heart even when it wasn't meant to be. I get SO HURT so much more often than people realize or ever meant for me to be because I don't just wear my heart on my sleeve... I basically hold it in my hands outstretched to EVERYONE. I LIKE that about me and do NOT want to change that... I FEEL CALLED to that... but I need to learn to strenthen my heart although not making it harder in the process.

 

and while I it sometimes FEELS like Coach is like COMING TO SEE THE WIZARD THE WONDERFUL WIZARD OF US... and I SO appreciate him and everyone who works to help us along our yellow brick roads ...

 

I KNOW and embrace the fact that when it comes down to it... just like Dorothy had to the power to click her heels and just believe at any time all along.... she NEEDED to learn the lessons along her yellow brick road first.

 

I am eager and SO GRATEFUL for all my lessons I have done and still to come on my way to my Emerald City and when I get there... I KNOW I WILL BE READY to click my shiny red heels and conjure up FEELING at HOME in my own body and FEELING as comfortable as home when I am in public without self consciousness and feel assured that my chosen career paths and callings seem like dreams but they are REAL  and the magic to conjure up my courage, my retrained brain and my hearts wholeness and healthiness and my HOME even in my OWN skin... was there inside me ALL ALONG... and THIS IS MY PATH TO REACHING THE PLACE WITHIN WHERE THEY RESIDE.

Loving yourself

We frequently forget that the Golden Rule is to love others as we love ourselves.

 

That means that we are required to love OURSELVES first.

 

It looks like you got it. Great!!

 

 

Way to go! Way to go!

Yes, Dorothy, I think you've got it!

What a wonderful blog you wrote today.  I enjoyed reading your comparisons to the yellow brick road and the characters in the Wizard Of Oz.  I think of coach as the wizard when he shows us that the answers to all our questions are inside....we know how to make our lives better and day by day we are doing it!

balance!

You deserve a star You deserve a star

 

Thanks for the encouragement!!! 

Beautiful
