I was surprisingly inspired while reading the Editors Note in GLAMOUR magazine. For one, I rarely read the editors note non-the-less read it and find inspiration. I am typically ready to jump into the content of the magazine I tend to over look. This month’s issue was different. I was drawn in because of the photographs surrounding the note; the title struck my interest and then the notes ending was the clincher - a moment of inspiration. Cindi Leive, Editor-In Chief, shared with her readers lines that were spoken at the recent Glamour's Women of the Year Awards. Those words were:
"...Some of my favorite lines were spoken by comedian Amy Poehler, who said that while the adult version of herself was slightly startled to be honored, "the 10 year-old-version of me believed that I would be here. So...close your eyes and think about what you were like when you were 10...whether you were singing into the mirror or sitting in a tree...That little person believed that you could be here. And that's why you are."
Close your eyes, revisit your 10-year-old self, believe in her dreams and then open your eyes and go..."
As I get older I get distracted from the importance of balancing responsibilities and reaching for what I once believed to be a dream. Everyday people are fulfilling dreams, goals, and aspirations. Although my dreams have changed I need to remember to still dream, set goals and accomplish them. The only person who can fulfill those goals would be myself. It’s fun to do and feels great once completed.
I hope you all enjoy Cindi's words and remember to reach for the stars....you never know, you might be a part of GLAMOUR'S Women of the Year Awards in the future.
Cheers,
Cara
