Don't let your struggles define you...

From HGTV
Everybody has a struggle. Mine is that I try too hard to please others and when I fall short I let myself feel blamed. The hardest part of a struggle or insecurity is letting it go. Nothing can hold you back more than fear. What I've realized though is that there is always going to be someone who doesn't like you or someone who will criticize you. Eleanor Roosevelt once said "Do what you feel in your heart to be right-for you will be criticized anyway". She's right. There won't be a time when you'll be critic free. So what is the point in trying to please someone else instead of yourself? A good friend of mine always says "you do you" and I love that she says that because it is a good reminder to just be yourself. Don't worry what other people think because odds are they are worrying about what you're thinking too.  The picture reminds me of self worth. Each flower is different but they are all beautiful and together they make the world more colorful. We all have that same opportunity to make the world a more colorful place. You wouldn't compare each flower in a bouquet, you would just appreciate it's beauty as a whole. Don't be afraid to show the world who you really are. Be a poppy in a patch of daisies! The best thing you can be in this life is yourself. Love you all!

Master The Day!

I need to be a little more adventurous. I have my routine and that is good but I could put myself out there a little more because nothing grows in the comfort zone! So yesterday me and some friends went to a Lip Sync battle and somebody was going to pay the performance fee for all of us to do it. This is something that usually I would have just sat back and watched. In the moment I decided that I had nothing to lose! So we went up on stage to perform "What makes you beautiful" by One Direction. It was embarrassing and wasn't the greatest performance of my life but I had so much fun and that will be such a fun memory to look back and laugh about.  I have made a major change in my life in the last few weeks (literally). I changed my major to General Studies but I'm the type of person who doesn't like to waste time or money on something I know I won't use so I keep thinking about what I should try to pursue and this was so not the week to do that.

When life gives you (sour) lemons...

This week started out very difficult. My dad was having health problems, my work days felt longer than ever before and on top of that I locked my keys in my car....and it was only Tuesday! Since then I have been determined to turn it all around. Yesterday morning I got up and I said I am going to have a great day. I really did. This week I really learned what Hannah Montana meant when she said "Life's what you make it, so let's make it rock" The last few days held little victories for myself and others who I surrounded me. I got most of my college stuff figured out, all of my housing plans have been finalized and one of my students finally got off the bus by herself today! The sweet moments in my life have balanced out the sour ones and have put a better taste in my mouth as the week comes to a close. Make sure you always have sugar and water on hand because when life gives you some of it's sour lemons, through time, patience and a little hard work, your lemona...

4 Quarters

I apologize for waiting until today to post I had family in town and lots of things going on. My best friend in the whole world just got his mission call today. Colorado Springs is getting a very awesome Elder in March. I'm so happy for him but all I could think about was I have 2 weeks left. What am I going to do? I only have that much time to be with him until he leaves for 2 years. Like dollars and most sporting events, I decided that I'm going to break up the time apart into 4 quarters (6 month intervals). I know that a lot can happen from now until March 2019 but I need it to if I have a shot at keeping up with this guy. He means so much to me and I want him to be the very best he can be and really find out what he wants out of life and who he can be. I have set goals for myself so that I can also figure out who I want to be and better recognize my potential so when he gets back the new him can meet the new me. Here are my goals that I hope to accomplish: Become spirit...
