Sharing my #oneword for 2023. . Last year’s word CONQUER’ ended up meaning something entirely different than anticipated but what came of it was SO needed for my personal growth. I didn’t conquer special goals or a new level of fitness or financial status. Those things were easily accomplished compared to what was really at hand. . It was conquering/overcoming the idea I had long adopted and BELIEVED as a child: that I had to do, be, marry, work, act, agree and etc. in order to be loved and accepted. A little sad, right? I ended up creating so many versions of myself along the way, it was hard to keep track. Versions created by others opinions, expectations and judgements. . But my father said this: “People will love you for being Pascale and people will hate you for being Pascale. So you might as well BE Pascale. . What followed were moments, interactions and relationships outside of the norm FULL of love and acceptance. It was as if God conspired with the rest of the world to prove me otherwise. 🤍 . We are human BEings, not human DOings. There’s nothing we have to DO in order to BE. So just BE. | S H I N E . #shine #ncjt #livedreaminspirefly #inspiremotivateteach (at King of Prussia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlQEylM1_n/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
