#WingItWednesday

“Five birds are sitting on a telephone wire. If two decide to fly south, how many are left? Many would say three, but there’s five left. Deciding to fly south is not the same as actually doing it. Good intentions are not enough. Don’t sit on that wire, spread your wings and fly.” Principal Dr. Kathleen Skelding-Dills, Liberty High School, Lynchburg, VA

If you've been feeling grounded take some time today to consider winging it. Spread your wings and take a leap or at least get that running start winging it requires. Consider these six steps to get your wings flapping:
1. Admit Your Desire to Fly
2. Confess Your Fears and Excuses for Remaining Grounded
3. Be Willing to Move Beyond Your Comfort Zone
4. Consider the Alternative
5. Ask Yourself: What’s the Worst Thing That Could Happen to Me?
6. Identify What Flying Means to You

"Whatever pain we might experience at others’ negative reactions to our spreading our wings, is nothing compared to the pain we cause ourselves by clipping them. At this time on the planet no one can feel good about withholding their magnificence. Expressing your full potential is not just your right; it’s your responsibility." Marianne Williamson
