I know that the etymology of great and grateful are different. Grateful comes from the latin gratus and great comes from old English. That being said, I do believe it's impossible to be great if you are not grateful. Today I will focus on being great. I will not let my insecurity and self-loathing get the upper-hand. I will be brave. I will breathe and remember gratitude. I will stay on track and keep myself on an even keel. I will stand up for myself to myself, and ask for what I need. I will not let lack of confidence prevent me from taking my next step.
One of my biggest failings is the difficulty I have in believing in myself. For this reason the smallest stumble can send my wildly off course. I spend an inordinate amount of energy talking myself back on track, reminding myself why I am worthy of breathing air and occupying space on this planet.
Today I will breathe in humble self-conviction and gratitude, and I will remember to be great as well as grateful.
It's a good day to be great.
