Be Rare

I heard something that just touched my heart last week… We are called to be rare. 
 
I just love that thought! 
 
And, it really made me think about all the ways that I adhere to society’s standards instead of my own.  How many times during the day do I just go with what society tells me is acceptable?  How many times do I do something simply because it’s a habit, even if it makes me uncomfortable?  And, I am super guilty of acting, talking, looking and thinking like the people around me, to appear a certain way, so that I receive approval from some, and consciously set myself apart from others.  And, how many times to I judge people for not being like me, and having similar priorities?
 
This week, let’s make sure we stand out in a way that shows everyone around us, we aren’t like everyone else.  Prove to people we come into contact with that there are good people in this world.  Hold the door for someone, be polite even when you’re ready to lose your shit, and go that extra mile when you don’t have to.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

Embrace Being Uncomfortable

We’ve all heard it before, “ Life isn’t always comfortable.”   Even if the change is a positive one, like eating healthier… it’s still not comfortable.     I’m in the process of buying my first home, and while I’m so happy and excited, I’m also really nervous and scared.   I would like to think I’m ready for the additional challenges and responsibilities of owning my own home.   But, what if I’m not?   Big life changes can be really nerve-racking!   But, I’m finding familiarity with being uncomfortable.   And, I actually take that to be a good thing.     If we get too comfortable, there is no growth, and if there is no growth, then we are just slowly dying. So, this week, embrace being a little uncomfortable.   It’s how you know you’re changing!

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.
