Becoming more than you doesn't mean you are less.  But that you are allowing yourself to grow. Every January I make a resolution, To Become More than what I am. One thing I have learned is that I can get so caught up in doing for others that I forget to stay open.  Lucky for me I am constantly re-taught this lesson.  People are brought into my life giving there wonderful gifts as well. And if I am not open I will miss the opportunity.  You will never NEVER finish...and that is a wonderful thing.  There is always something new to learn and I will always maintain my yearly resolution.    Every time I make it I am more than what I was the year before...and that is something to be thankful for.
