Today I have been blown away by some of the posts I have read.
They aren't necessarily exposing a NEW, BIG idea or anything,
but they are reminding me and some thoughts are astounding.
For instance you can go here and read what Cyri says about strengths and how sometimes we don't even notice the ones we have because they are so natural (welcome to my life of trying to write a resume - I am working on looking to see them and share them on paper though).
The you can go here and read about confidence. I really like this lady. She is happy and doing what she loves. Plus that last line in her post kind of makes you step back and go - whoa. She also has posts on self-esteem, and several on beauty here, here and here.
And then there is my "long lost cousin" Elise, who is super inspiring with her sense of purpose in life. She posted on beauty here (and I happened to be featured - boy is putting a definition of beauty down into words hard), but I love everything in that post. I think I want to say namaste much more frequently. A few more of her posts to make you happy and confident including this one here.
I have THE best people in my life.
I think I could honestly argue that to the death
because it's a really big choice to be down when they are around or sharing insight.
So just know that you are wonderul.
You have strengths, talents, and beauty!
Thanks for sharing with me! :D
p.s. sometimes our strengths are like our ideas and we don't think we are all that special or unique but like our ideas - sometimes we are obvious to ourselves but to others we are astounding.
But without it nothing would happen
and we wouldn't be who we are.
Odd paradox sometime right?
It scares me nonetheless and so I am working on that.
My aunt posted this to think on a while ago
What would you say to the person you were five years ago? What will you say to the person you’ll be in five years?*
I wrote bunch of things out in letter form to myself,
and then decided it was too long to share,
and that no one would really care that much anyway,
but man how I wish I could tell my 2006 self about all the good things to come,
and prepare her for the bad
(but I kind of liked that I had to get through them without knowing the endings).
I try to live without regrets and trying to write a letter back to myself, I see a few . . .
let's hope I can figure that all out for 2016 me. :)
I want to live.
I want to say yes to things.
I wan to experience things.
So take me with you?
Also my friend Cyri gave me this quote yesterday:
"Keep on beginning and failing.
Each time you fail, start over again,
and you will grow stronger
until you have accomplished a purpose...
I really like music and just felt like linking it up. . .
but I didn't know which songs to share,
So I did the itunes shuffle thing . . . three times using a grooveshark playlist
and then I picked out certain songs to share and still felt unsatisfied.
So now basically you are just getting a list of songs. . .
