Hey there Readers,
I had such a great day!
Not only did I get to sleep in four hours, I swam, watched movies, and I
have almost officially quit McDonalds.
Now shh! It’s not official! But hopefully soon it will be. Or at least I’ll be on-call or something. I’m going to start nannying full-time
now. Talk about a whoop! whoop!
So today it’s about how I am different from someone in
history. You see, as great a person as
Franklin was, I couldn’t seem to catch up.
Actually, I wouldn’t let myself catch up. Being scared is such a foolish thing. It slows you down from being yourself, it takes you away from being the best you can be, and it hurts you, mentally and physically. Now that I know that, I hate being
scared. Being scared scares me! The only thing(s) that I’ll
allow myself to be "scared" of are bugs; mainly spiders and butterflies.

He
edited the Declaration
of
Independence to best
represent
the people of the
time.
He wanted them to
understand
what they were
fighting
for, while
threatening
the British with
strong
words. All who knew
him
looked him up to his great
example.
Not only was he
intelligent
and invented many
different
devices, he was clever
and
wise. This allowed so much
creativity
to flow through his mind.

I
never noticed this then,
but
I allowed myself to step
behind
my friends and
leaders.
I allowed them
to
approve of everything I
did.
It wasn’t that I needed
their
approval, but I feared
moving
ahead of them in case
I
might trip and no one was
there
to catch me. I stopped
myself
from growing spiritually
and
mentally. I stayed just
behind
the smartest people so I
wouldn’t
be noticed. When I
messed
up, I wasn’t the first.
The
whole situation gave me the
peace
of mind I thought I was
looking for.

Do your best to teach your kids not to be scared to do
something new. Stand out and be
different because being different might just be the better thing to be.
