The Definition of ME

When I think about myself,  I usually think pretty good things. I think I am smart, confident, strong willed, a good friend, open minded... the list can go on and on... Usually. Then there are those days when you just can't find one nice quality about yourself.

You're having one of those days and you think "I wish I was more like ________." Well, here's a newsflash folks! Hope you're ready for it! That "someone else" you're wishing to be more like... She has days like this too, and chances are, she's probably looked at you once or twice and thought, "She probably has a great _______, I wish I was more like her." Whether the BLANK is great friends, a great boyfriend, a great body, a great job, it doesn't matter! Everyone has times like these. It's how we deal with them that matter.

When will the time come that we look at ourselves in the mirror and think "You are gonna ROCK your day today. You are EXCELLENT!" These days are WAY MORE few and far between than the days that we beat ourselves up for having that extra piece of bread, or not doing enough cardio, or not having enough time in the day... I think that if we can just take those moments when we want to freak out because something hasn't gone our way and really look at our lives and find all of the things that are good about us, we're pretty much unstoppable.

Don't let the stares of others, negative comments, or bad moments bring you down. Make these things your inspiration. Push harder and rise above it! You can only go as  far as you allow yourself, so loosen up! These things can only define you if you let them. I say, define yourself! Today is a good day to be amazing! Get at it!
