I remember as a child being told I was too dramatic.  There have also been various periods in my life when I put concerted effort into becoming an actress.  I do enjoy performing and taking on a role but as I have grown closer in my relationship with God I realize that I most enjoy boldly being who I am.  For such a long time I played along and took on the role that I thought was expected of me. There was no space to be myself.  I see it as an act of boldness for us to fully engage in life as the person God has called us to be.  It is an act of boldness to act from who we are instead of going through life reacting to what others say and do.  At the end of the day it is the ultimate act of bravery to act from the truth of our hearts in all the situations of our lives.  It does not mean that it will never meet with others expectations, sometimes it will.  The difference is I no longer depend upon the approval of who I am from other people for my survival.  I spend more effort connecting with the boldness of my heart where I know God has placed the truth of who I am. The difference is I am willing to make mistakes along the road of living my life if I know I am doing so from the boldness of my own character. The daily discipline of showing up for my prayer and meditation date with God is where I receive the refueling of love and light needed to run the boldness of my character one day at a time.
