A forgotten purpose

First published January 20, 2018

So, today was another one of those days where I am not sure what the purpose of today was. After watching two movies back to back, I realized how late it is and that I have nothing to write about.

I could tell you about taking my dog to the park, or watering my plants, but who cares about that? For those people who actually read this, if any, this is supposed to be a daily blog, so it would seem I have to write something, yes?!

So, what do I write when I wasted the day away piddling around my tiny apartment? What do I write about when I did not have any contact with a single soul. I'm not even sure I got a text.

I dreamed a lot. I watched some videos that inspired me. Come to think about it.... It was a Brene' Brown video with Lewis Howes. She talked about being brave and how being vulnerable is really brave. I've heard this before, but this time it hit me. I've been vulnerable for so long, if being so makes you strong and courageous, then damn, that makes me brave. Wait, what?

I never really thought about myself as being brave until this video. So many of us live thinking that to be strong and powerful we have to shy away from vulnerability, but it is just the opposite. Allowing your heart to open and to bare your deepest emotions IS the most courageous thing we can do. So go be brave...dammit

So, I guess there was a Daily Purpose after all. One I forgot it seems. Bravery.... what it means to be brave.... and realizing that I am brave...with room to grow of course. ;)
