A few years ago I picked up a little book called Witty Words From Wise Women. It's just a small book filled with short quotes or paragraphs written by women who are famous for one thing or another. I was thumbing through it earlier today and found this quote by Anne Wilson Schaef. She said "you need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours".
I have a very bad habit of sometimes stepping outside of my life and just watching the world go by. Putting myself on hold while I wait for someone else make a decision about where I should be placed in their life, or, if I should be placed there at all.
For some reason her quote resonated with me tonight, and I feel much better about just saying meh... you can decide whether or not I fit into your life on your own time. I'll be over here living mine and owning it.
