Accept yourself for who you are at this very moment. Appreciate the BEAUTY that makes you YOU:) 2. Be thankful for your blessings. You may not have everything you want but, you have ALL you need. 3. Make sure your worst enemy isn't dwelling in your own skin. Remember that you're always listening even if no one else can hear you! 4. Vow to take care of your body & work out daily! After all, it's the only place you have to live! Make it a happier, healthier place to reside in. YOU are your best investment. 5. Stay true to who you are & you will ALWAYS be happy! Gather all your crazy dreams, far fetched ambitions & big goals & build a life you love & are proud of! 6. Stop comparing yourself to who you're not! Girls compete with one another. Women EMPOWER each other. 7. Forgive yourself for every mistake, every heartbreak & every time you've fallen short. Self-forgiveness is a necessary & vital step to finding your inner peace. 8. Remember that you can't fix yourself by BREAKING someone else. ALWAYS choose kindness. 9. Focus your thoughts on what is good, what is admirable & what is positive. Never let your mind become consumed by negativity & hate. Never let your heart turn cold. 10. Say YES to adventure. Say YES to bliss. Say YES to the impossible. You never know when your heart will stop beating. Take the jump & free fall on the way down if you have to. Live with no regrets. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Don't blame anyone or anything for the situation you're in or the problems you've encountered along this journey through life. When you choose to blame other people or outside factors, you are saying that you're POWERLESS over your own life, which is complete & utter crap - - The first empowering step to reclaiming your happiness, your self worth & your life is admitting to the fact that everything that brought you to this point was solely your responsibility. That is true power, that is true strength! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - MY MANTRA:) I didn't HAVE the time I MADE the time.

I intend to accept my body today, love my body tomorrow & appreciate my body always. When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful! If it's important to you, you'll find a way - - If not, you'll find an excuse. You are far too smart to be the ONLY thing standing in your way. Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be. Destroy what destroys you. A ship at harbor is safe but that's not what ships are for. Be an ENCOURAGER; The world has plenty of CRITICS already. - Dave Willis You ALWAYS have time for the things you put FIRST. A comfort zone is a beautiful place but NOTHING ever GROWS there. There is ALWAYS room to be a BETTER person! ALWAYS!! True Success is liking YOURSELF, liking WHAT you do & liking HOW you do it.
