Glimpse of My Future

Today I caught a glimpse of my future and you were not a part of it. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw myself.  I was actually smiling and it was for real! I was confident and positive; it was not pretend. Today I caught a glimpse of my future and I got so excited that I had to catch myself, because I wanted to leap right into it.

My future is bright!  My future is filled with joy and laughter!  My future is free from chaos, worry and defeat.  Today I caught a glimpse of my future and you were not a part of it.  You feelings of fear, regret, sadness, depression and uncertainty – there was not a single hint of your presence.  I had high self-esteem, I spoke with boldness, and I demanded respect. I was walking with my head held high and my shoulders back. I could actually hear myself saying, “I am Royalty and the Daughter of a King, I deserve the best and I refuse to settle for less.” And you know what – for once I actually believed what I was saying, I mean I wasn’t trying to convince myself. I could feel my heart beating, but it wasn’t due to anxiety and stress, it was a feeling that I could hardly explain, except it felt like sunshine on the inside; it was almost an uncontainable excitement.  You ever passed a field of sunflowers and without even knowing you were doing it – you were smiling?  Yeah – it was just like that.

Today I caught a glimpse of my future – haha and I almost didn’t even recognize myself; I had to turn around and look again.  Girl you look good and you wear the future well!

Today I caught a glimpse of my future, and I am so excited about reaching it, that I’ve stopped looking behind.
