You should be whoever and whatever you’re needed to be to get it done, without losing yourself and cherished values (such as integrity, authenticity, mutual respect, trust, and truth) that you hold dear.

A kaleidoscope of sorts,
And forever evolving
With wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
That some things are worked behind the scenes as in private
And some publicly;
Know the difference

What you are today,
Could be different tomorrow,
Today, you might need to kick off your red bottom heels, pull off your weave/wig, and worry-less about a cracked nail

Tomorrow, you might be donning a power suit crossing your legs on your desk with a [Do Not Disturb] sign at the door forgoing the lunch for introspection

Always be in balance mode
Renewing and reeducating your skills and abilities
Ready to capture divine opportunities brought your way
In so doing, you are being refined into your originality.

Relive your experiences, both good and bad
Remembering how far you’ve come
Letting them propel you upward and forward

In your past, you could have been and still are, a parent
Overseeing your sons and daughters
Today or in the future, work towards graduating to an advisor or a board of director
Not controlling them or their households

Or maybe you were an analyst
I hope you strategically analyzed situations before plunging into action
And avoided paralysis with every analysis.

Today be a catalyst driving positive actions and change for desired outcomes
Take the good with the bad, the complaints with a positive attitude to figure out if change is necessary
And with courage and a calm disposition
Dive into what needs to change
Sometimes needing to test the waters
Other times a plunge is needed.

Whatever you want to be tomorrow
Starts today.

In everything and everyday, just be You.
