Your true potential

Awesome! I love the second the most. You did well. The theme was well used.

“conquer the future” is my favorite. All are special.
Thank you, Ellecee, for your kind words
Very nice set for the prompt, Vidya. Thank you for sharing!
Here is my Day 20.
Thank you, dear Becca!
Nice! The first one is a pearl of wisdom. So beautifully crafted!
Loved the “Metamorphosis”! Teaches us so much!:)
Thank you dear Amber. I was very excited about the caterpillar to butterfly picture! 🙂
I like how this starts with an injunction: “Shelve your history.” I will!
Imagine Pigeon Pie or Imagine Corn Soup Simmering
Oh, thank you, MMT 🙂

A pleasure, dear Angela! I am so happy you came by!
Vidya you have created a beautiful post here.. Thanks.. I loved the concept of ‘Metamorphosis” created here.. SmileS.
Thank you so much, Saravana. I am enjoying discovering myself 😀
Beautiful set. I like that you don’t have a total disregard for the past, but a learning from the past.
Ah, Terri, thank you for your comment. I believe our past can define us in many ways and it is up to us to take learning points from it!
This is a beautiful progression in regard to transformation. Nice!
Thank you, dear Abby!
Lovely image of caterpillar turning to butterfly and even lovelier Haiku
Thank you, dear Valli. Such sweet words!
Excellent advice and very inspiring.
Thank you, Unknown Mami, I respect my past very much, while I enjoy the present and look forward to the future!
I love this one Vidya! So often we let our past dictate our future simply because it’s the comfort zone that we’ve created for ourselves. It’s so important to push past this a little each day if we want to create the amazing future that awaits us!
Thank you for this one!
Yes, Paige, you’re right. Life would be so mediocre if we did not stretch ourselves. Thank you for stopping by!
