Let love in by @NNP_W_Light #love

Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room. – Mark Hack

Have you been afraid to show someone the "real" you? Have you been hiding your warts for fear of rejection?

Read the quote above.

Now read it again s-l-o-w-l-y.

I used to believe I couldn't show anyone my "dark" side. I was deathly afraid they would laugh at me and leave me. It wasn't until I met MR N that I realized I was doing myself a disservice. My dark side was a part of me and if people couldn't accept it, too bad.

Have you had the same thought?

Newsflash: No one is perfect. Everyone is broken/scarred in some way.

Let people see you for who you are. It's only when you love all the parts of yourself can you let someone else love you.

You are a beautiful person and I love you. Thank you for being you, warts and all.

Share your talents by @NNP_W_Light #art

The greatest thing in the world we can do is to share our gifts. When we give of ourselves and our talents, we make an impact on people's lives. 

This week it was announced Bob Ross will finally get his own art exhibit, 24 years after his death. For those of you who don't know who Bob Ross is, check him out on Youtube. His painting show was one of the most popular shows on PBS and he was a talented artist.

Instead of pursuing the art exhibit route, Bob Ross chose to use his gifts to teach others. He brought art to the masses in an approachable way. He influenced millions of people around the world.

When I read this, I grinned. Bob Ross spent his life teaching others and now he's getting the praise from the art community. What an inspiration!

What can we learn from Bob Ross?

When you share your gifts, you have the potential to make the most impact. Giving of your time, energy and passion is a worthwhile endeavor.

What will your legacy be?
