You ROCK!

I had a really great conversation with a dear friend of mine this morning at Starbucks. I did most of the talking this morning, but usually, I am a pretty good listener when it comes to my friend. He just wanted to hear a bit more from me this morning, so I felt a need to offer some encouraging words.

Basically, when you truly LOVE WHO YOU ARE, you will find focus, calm, confidence, and control in your life. You will find that your goals, as far as feeling/looking good, your family, your job, your friends, your entire well being, will come easier to you as you have first and foremost accepted how wonderful you are as a person. Honestly, life is too short to be hung up on appearances or the way you are TODAY. Are you living out your life today the way you imagined a year ago? A few years ago? If you were to write a story about your life in the year 2010, would you say, 2007 was the year of my life?

Each year of my life keeps getting better. Not sure what it is, but I believe I attract positive things in my life because my attitude is a direct mirror to the people, places, and things around me and vice versa. For instance, when I hear things like, "You are always happy" from the lady at Subway who helps me 3 times a week a lunch, I feel good. When I hear things like, "You look healthy and so fit- keep up the good work," I can feel good about myself. When I hear things like, "You have helped me lose 15 pounds," I can feel good. When my sister hugs me goodbye and tells me "You are a great sister", I can feel good about myself. Life is good, and I feel like I ROCK.

Do you ROCK? If yes, ROCK ON. If no, get to ROCKIN' and know that it is in you- LOVE YOURSELF AND BRING OUT YOUR INNER ROCK.
