Recently, our 3 year old comes up to us and says " My name is Zoe-Jayne Elisabeth Tinkerbell Fairy Princess Butterfly!"
"Wow! What a name!" was my response.
My husband on the other hand was convinced he was going to get her to add our last name in that ever dazzling one.
She of course refused. Stating time and time again that her name was "Zoe-Jayne Elisabeth Tinkerbell Fairy Princess Butterfly!"
As I ponder the thought process behind her choice of names, I thought of how many times, even as an adult, that I wanted to be this or that persona.
What amazed me is that we as adults, get in the same everyday funk. Forgetting our dreams and molding to the way of life around us. Instead of rejecting the norm and what people think of us. We settle. In settling we become miserable and at times even feel inferior.
Yet, what if we decided to become that dream, that persona we have dreamed of, maybe even been at one time in our life.
What if - we changed the "What If's" into the "I AM" of the person we really are?
So for today instead of being the ever bulging late thirty-something.. I AM..
