#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

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
