Soaring!

Amelia Earhart

Inspired by her first ride in an airplane in 1920, Amelia Earhart became one of the greatest female pilots of the 20th century. She was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, and the first person to have flown both oceans. Earhart also dedicated much of her life to prove that, like men, women could excel in their chosen professions and that they could have equal value. We as women has proven over and over again that we are valuable within our chosen professions. We are a living legacy to those in which we love and have touched. We are innovative and determined women who are living a legacy and in most cases are unaware of it. We are living it now, as Amelia did. She lived her dream while living a legacy. She not only flew into the great blue skies, but she dove into the knowledge of what she needed to reach her goals. She learned as much as she was able to about flying an aircraft and that of being a pilot - starting off as a nursing assistant. As her story was told she left nothing unturned and as we look at her life now, she left nothing to her imagination. Ladies what are our goals, how will we obtain the things that we envision having. Will we be easily persuaded not to pursue, will we permit others and circumstances to dictate our visions and hinder the fulfillment of our goals?. Will we over emphasize our limitations? I'm sure that Amelia saw her limitations, but those limits wouldn't effect her goals. We have everything that we need to succeed at whatever we decide to do. We are woman! Whether your goals are being an educator, starting a business or even soaring the blue skies, as Amelia did, it's your vision to see and it your goals to reach. Acknowledge your potential and understand your strength and abilities. There is nothing that you are unable to accomplish - if you can only remember that you can. Whatever your visions and goals are follow them, run after them and stop only once you have reached them. Live free enough to go after your goals. Do not under estimate where you currently are in your life. Remember, Amelia began as a nurses aid, not as a women pilot, soaring the skies. The freedom that Amelia must have experienced as she soared through our skies is the same freedom that we can experience as we soar ours. Its never to late to see your visions and run after your goals ultimately soaring in your sky. Can you see it for yourself today? I certaintly can. When will you begin - start today!
