Bruce Almighty

Annie: "Mommy, do you really think it was good that I went into the nail salon by myself yesterday to say hello?"

Me: "Annie, I cannot tell you how much that impressed me. I mean, the fact that you had the desire to go into the salon but felt hesitant and shy, then became aware of your feelings and made a conscious decision to bust through your discomfort and go in anyway, when you behave that way, that's when your world expands, and it's amazing to me that someone your age can have that kind of awareness and make a choice to be brave. I'll tell you something, if you continue doing that, if you keep walking into your fear like that, I believe you'll have a very successful life. "

Annie: "Would Bruce think so?"
