Here's the truth. My gas tank isn't the only thing that been running on empty lately. My tear ducts have been working overtime too...because I've been nothing but a big old bawl baby for the past week. But here's the good news. Today I pulled myself out of it. I don't think it was a big coincidence that the weather got out of the 30's for the first time in awhile ;) The "Februaries" are real, people. I'm telling you. Take them seriously.
In other news, I had a meeting with some of my "team" today. Planning. Dreaming. Preparing. As we were sitting around a table plotting out a path, I was thinking how it is truly a gift to have someone who believes in you. I know at first read that sounds a little bit cheesy. But really guys. It is RARE. And carries so much weight. The transfer of belief impacts this world on a moment-by-moment basis.
Then I took it a bit further and started wondering if it is possible to love someone and not believe in them. What if you have a best friend who wants to be a painter, but you think they're a horrible artist? Is it possible to love them purely and fully without believing in them as a painter? I think belief is its own thing. Which makes me all the more grateful for the ones who believe in me. Because they sure as the sun don't HAVE to.
I wish for everyone in the world to have at least 1 person who just flat out believes in them. It's powerful.
Love this post, Nic. We must discuss more later - like tonight!
ReplyDeleteLove you! (AND believe in you!)
