[I Could Use a] Lesson #18

One more thing before I go to bed.

Being the outspoken, feisty, and stubborn girl that I am, I could use some restraint. A lot of restraint, perhaps. So I don't say the things I shouldn't

To teach myself a little, here's Lesson #18:

While surfing the web one day, I came across a personal site [it may have been a blog, I'm not sure] that had this quote, written by the author of the site. I just found it again now:

"Long ago, I had a voice, a place, a purpose.
Long ago, I used my voice, I left my place, I lost my purpose.
Today, I caution my voice, I sit still in my place, I search for my purpose."

Credit and cookies to the writer. I love this phrase.

I'm still stuck in part 2, using my voice and leaving my place. I thought I knew I purpose, but I think it got lost in time.

I would love more than anything to move on to part 3. It's my new goal, to hold back more often instead of speaking when I shouldn't and moving when I should be still.

Regret is a powerful adversary. Don't let it eat you alive like it's eating me. Don't do it.
