Spoonful of Gratitude - Day 4

For day 4, I've asked everyone to share something or someone who motivates you. As cliché as it may seem, I'm motivated by child Lori.

Circa 2004 with my first dog, Molly

You see, childhood Lori was shy and timid. She didn't stick up for herself much and feared what other's opinions would be if she were to be herself and share her ideas and feelings. I've worked really hard for many years to show my inner child that she can do big things and take risks. She is very afraid of failure and making mistakes, but if you can learn from it, then it's not all for nothing.
