I am a lot of things. I am lively. cheerful. outgoing. introverted. blunt. brash. funny. sarcastic. cute. charismatic. magnetic. bull headed. stubborn. a sucker for love. a hard worker. a worrier. I don't care enough what people think of me. I care too much what other people think of me. I will do everything in my power to get it right. But sometimes I get it all wrong.
Our society is so messed up sometimes. Our priorities. Our trends. Our lack of morals and religion. Our temporal fixations can prevent us from enjoying all of our blessings.
For the most part, I've been dealt an excellent plan. My parents were parents. They keep me grounded. I say "may I" not "can I" along with "please", "thank you" and "excuse me."
Sometimes we all need reminders though. Reminders never hurt.
Some helpful tips for girls and guys
"Congratulations!
Today is your day!
You're off to great places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.'
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go."
-Dr. Seuss, From Oh, The Places You'll Go!
You matter. You were made with a purpose. Life is not a test. Make it matter. Get it right.
