Option 3
 We were watching the lion king MOVIE
It was a teaching moment
When the monkey 
 hit timone on the head and said

 To find it, you must look
Beyoooooooooooooooooond what you seeee
 
 hmmmmmmmm??????
 Bird, tree, tree branches!!
My favorite 
Naked branches,  with blooming flowers in the spring
 So elegant
 Reaching up high into the sky
 Powerful

 This is me 
 Bit by bit, 
I was able to recognize  the big picture
Me as a tree 
 Looking down
I see my routes

It felt like what  I receive from the world
Three main routes

Nurture, from family, friends, and even strangers

Knowledge: from school, work, and mentors 

Faith,  my inner strength,  connection to god


Looking up, I see my branches 
It felt like what I give back to the world 

four main branches
 The first, is all about the basics 
I’m souad, 
Lebanese
With  added routes from Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Armenia 
 rarely anyone guessed 
 where I come from  


 The seocnd branch
Holds a list of my skills

Such as planning, 
Budgeting 
and problems solving


 the   3    branch is my main goal in life
Share joyful life recipes

 
 
The      4     branch is   My legacy
Its the newest, work in progress branch 
 at the top
Its What I want to download, produce, then share 
 the best stuff  stored in here 
 
I felt  empowered seeing myself 
As a  rich mind map

I Couldn’t help myself 
I had to 
 share with my friend
I asked Julia
 How do you see yourself in a big picture?
then  I gave her my tree as an example
 
She said 

-----------  Waaaw

----------- this is a very attractive question 
I need time to look deep inside
To be able to visualize myself 

Later she shared

I imagine myself a big beautiful house 

I welcome all visitors
I provide them with shelter, food, comfort, 

I want all visitors to enjoy their stay 
And in return I get energy
because lets face it
an empty house would feel Like being friendless
I enjoy every visit;
Each visitor gives me a different energy and vibe



Her answer  tempted me to ask  other friends

Whom  replied with beautiful, 
colorful,
detailed pictures
 in which they saw themselves 
 
Frank saw himself  as a sailor
David saw himself as a  waterwheel
And Jackie saw herself  as a tree, 
yet it was totally different than mine
 
Ahhhhh’’’’’’’’
Introducing ourselves  is a big deal
Yet discovering
Our real self
Makes all the difference

For me
it goes  beyond a job title
the   excess weight 
or  poor eye sight   
I am enough 

a
To echo this good feeling
I’m here to
 invite you to find your big picture 

Keep sharing your business card 
 or whatever showcases 
your talent and strengths

Only pause
Do it after you find your big picture 
 look  beyond what you see
Discover how special you are

 
perhaps your big picture will serve as your 
 self-empowering business card
or might feel like  you are being photoshopeed
or it might be a simple reminder of  your strengths


 the sky is the limit  
 
And next time before you introduce yourself

 Pause 
 replay your big picture
with all  the perfect details

 
 sink into the positivity generated from it
As this positivity will be the  strong base
Of a fruitful, 
Joyful
Creative life
 
And from now on when you look into the mirror
Whether you’re preparing to meet someone or not
 Stand up prouder than ever before
Knowing that the UNIQUE way you see yourself 
YOUR BIG PICTURE 
is a simple proof that 

“You Are Enough”
