Our Power to Soar

We all have experienced rejection.  It is painful.  Being treated as if you do not exist can be equally painful.  Today I watched a beautiful red tailed hawk flying overhead.  The hawk did not need my approval, recognition, or acceptance.  He was majestic all on his own.

As human beings, our greatness can seem elusive.  It can seem tethered to the opinions of others.  Like our brother the hawk, we must connect with our deeper selves - our power to soar.  We must be willing to sacrifice our need for approval.  God has given all of us gifts.  We must be true to our gifts, with or without approval of others.
