Breaking old habits

 
As much as I would love to say that...
I don’t care about what others think of me,
I'm not there yet.
 But I am making good progress.
 
My goal is to have the freedom...
to simply be myself...
everywhere...
in all circumstances.
 
I’m still learning...
charting through uncomfortable waters...
every day bringing another opportunity to practice... 
taking two steps forward...
one step back...
learning through my mistakes.
 
Things are changing...
because I am changing.

“Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp,
but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.”
