Blog #3 Six Words Make A Big Difference

Waking up in the biggest commitment.

This memoir really speaks to me, just this morning every once of my being told me to stay in bed. But I got up anyways. We read in one of our chapters that showing up on the page in the first step, and I truly believe that. If you don't show up to play the game, you've already lost, But if you're there and make an effort, your in the running to win.

Honesty is easier when we text.

This memoir was in the love category, which I find very, very sad. I am a strong believer in talking things through face to face. I have a good relationship where that happens on a regular basis. If one of us has a problem with the other, we wait to see them the next day or we talk about it on the phone. Love and relationships shouldn't be masked by a phone; it's embarrassing that my era has resulted to this.

Can doing my best be enough?

This truly speaks to me. I have been expected to do my best at everything I do, every aspect of my life, and yet I'm still asked for more. Now in addition to everything I do, my job, work, spractice, chores, I'm expected to multitask them. I try to give my best at everything I do, so will my best ever be other peoples best expectations?

Impressing no one, worrying about nothing.

I worry like it's my professional job. I get dressed thinking who will I see today, I do my homework thinking what grade I will get. A few years ago, my motto was "just be". Sometimes I need to remember that, and just, be. Jus tlive how I want without thinking about anyone else. Just being me.

Extra minuntes of daylight delight me.

This is extremely significant to me. I always feel that everyday should be lived to it's fullest. Not necesarily live every day like it's your last, that'd be expensive, but just get the most out of each day and try to cram in as much as possible before the chances are gone.

Rock bottom is the first step.

Once you've hit rock bottom, there is nothing below it. All you can do is go up. I feel that I've been pretty close before, with deaths in the family and stress and anxiety. But all you can do is go up. Now if you stay down there, then no one can feel sorry for you. But if you make the first step, you're already doing better than you were.
