Life is more full of possibilities than we often "allow" our minds to conceive of. We look and feel undeserving of the dreams or accomplishments we really hold closest to our hearts. I know I do it. The limitations we often feel seem to be our own rather than reality. I believe God has many exciting things for us if we let ourselves dream big and invite Him in, and allow ourselves to to see and take the opportunities He gives us, and allow ourselves to receive His blessings. The other night going to a concert my friend passed a parking spot on the way to the back of the lot. "Whoa!" I said. "Was that spot too close for you?" My dad was in the car and later reflected on it. "Are these opportunities coming to fast for you?" Take them. Don't limit yourself to what you feel like you're worth. Because you're likely "worth" a lot more. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Anyway. You're an example to me of that. I like the question you ask at the end. "Why not make one of them yours?" Even though I don't know what most of your acronyms mean, I wish you the best in all of them. =o) You know, (this is only slightly related, but I feel like saying it anyway), in the glimpses of your life that I see, you really radiate an energy (despite being sleepy) for living a full life.
