Be YOU!

I don't know about y'all, but this is one of the BIGGEST challenges out there right now! We want to look a certain way, earn a certain amount of education, have a certain amount of money, have the right cars, right house, right clothes etc just so people will like us. That's our ultimate goal. IT'S NOT! For some of us, our ultimate goal is to achieve something eternal, for others, it's just to live this life the BEST way we can. I went to a summer camp for 5 years called "Be The Best You". We did service projects, had devotionals, and just had fun being girls and making friends with one another and the world around us.
Just like a few posts ago, I mentioned some of my accomplishments. I challenge you to do the same! You're more remarkable than you think. So what if you don't have what Susie or Johnny has? You're not them! Be who you are and the right people will come your direction (even romantically ;)). Attract the sort of people you'd want to hang out with. For me, it's happy, warm, affectionate, genuine people. So, I need to be that way! What or who do you attract? At the end of the day, looks don't matter. It's inside! It's the heart! That's what I want to address in this blog. Trust me, the past few weeks have been SO TOUGH! But, the key is to smile through it all. The following lyrics are from one of my FAVORITE songs. I challenge you to listen to it when the last thing you feel like doing is smiling.

"Smile, though your heart is aching, smile even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by. If you smile through your fear and sorrow. Smile, and maybe tomorrow, you'll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile."

HAVE A GREAT DAY, FRIENDS!
