Honor Yourself…
Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

I had this running through my head last week, and well, I received some startling and heartbreaking news the other morning that put this into perspective. Without going into the details, let me borrow a soapbox for a minute and just say this:
You can be exactly who you want. In fact, it is expected of you. No excuses. The greatest power known to man exists within us all — our idealism and intention. Listen to the better part of yourself. Don't tolerate second best — you are capable of so much more. Instead of settling or giving up, stand up and change. NOW. Idealism is strong enough to take you wherever you want to be. Start there and keep moving. You'll pick up momentum, I promise. And if you need help, ask. ASK. Think enough of yourself to be who you really are. Hold on, hold fast, and take it one day at a time. Choose happiness, show gratitude, and jump into all the possibilities that exist for you to be great.
