At a pivotal point in the movie "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," Tommy discovers in an intimate moment that Hedwig is not who he thought she was...Tommy: What is that?
Hedwig: It's what I have to work with.You don't have to let those perceived flaws define you. You don't have to let those fears stop you. You just have to have the willingness and determination to push past those negative thoughts, start embracing your special qualities, and take the risk of putting yourself out there. Hedwig knows her limitations better than most. But she's out there, committed to making it work.
How many times have I kept myself in a rut instead of seeing a simple way out? An inspiring post from Lisa Braithwaite. And Pauline Shirley picked up the theme, a little more actively, on her blog
As part of his unique marketing strategy, my dentist engraves a message on the complimentary toothbrush I receive as compensation for my stress due to the dreaded semiannual cleaning.
Today, he engraved, “Spring 2010 Plant Something!”
I imagine, that like me, when you read that you thought of planting spring flowers, vegetables or perhaps a shrub or tree.
Think bigger than that! Interpret ‘Plant something” as a suggestion to plant an idea; to plant a positive thought; to plant the beginning of an entrepreneurial venture; to plant potential in the possibilities of yourself and others.
