Those of us who continue to push ourselves to be better, faster, stronger - to overcome hurdles, create life and to give to full capacity - must take time to allow for the possibility that we are just human. And although every fiber within us thrives on passion, generosity, and a lust for life, we must remember to simply take time to be. Take time to feel. To cry. To nourish and give to self. Recharge.
We are powerhouses, recognized, looked up to, and needed as such. In that, there is great responsibility to remain so - not only because we can, but it is who we are and what we are meant to be. None of that can be sustained in endless energy unless we take the time to pull off the superhuman gloves once in a while to rest. After all, it is in the moments that we pause that the most active giving begins; it is where self meets silence so that wisdom can be heard, awareness finds insight, and rest sharpens our vision. But more than any of that, it teaches others that our needs are important and reminds us to receive.
