Sometimes what you need to hear or read comes from the strangest places. Today’s quote comes from a box of chocolates that a colleague gave me. Really. This quote by George Bernard Shaw was on the back of card that described the chocolates. Don’t know what it has to do with chocolate, but it is a wonderful sentiment to remember.

I love the reminder that we can create ourselves. We can be who we want to be if we do the hard work of creating. We don’t have to worry about finding ourselves. I love this because I’ve always thought that “finding” myself seemed weird. I’m always where I am. I don’t need to find myself, but I do need to be mindful about creating the person that I want to be.

So what do you want to create for yourself?

As for me, I’m continually in the process of creating and being a person who is intelligent and kind, creative and productive, caring and strong, respectful and daring. Life is a process of creation.

So I hope in the coming days you find happiness and even joy in creating the person who is you. And I hope you share some of your creations with the world when you’re ready to share.

P.S. Yes, the chocolates were terrific (in case you were curious). 🙂
