be yourself. unapologetically.

so today is January 4th. 4 days into the new year. everyone is still so pumped for the whole "new year, new opportunities... etc" i am going to try and join the band wagon.
in MY brain i see things differently than most. like okay, just because the numbers on the calendar have changed, how does that effect your motivation to finally make or complete goals. but alas, i am apparently never on the same page as everyone else so i guess i'll probably never fully understand other peoples' train of thought.
i was talking to my friend yesterday and she put it this way "you're never going to make everyone else happy, so just make yourself happy and the other people won't matter" {there may have been an expletive in there too, i'll keep it pg} :).
she's right though. seems like common knowledge, but sometimes it's the "common" stuff that gets brushed under the rug.
not everyone is going agree with what you're doing. not everyone will be happy for you, no matter what your accomplishments. {if you cured cancer, there would be someone there to complain you hadn't done it sooner.}
we tend to let ourselves get so wrapped up in what other people think, that we stop thinking for ourselves & we stop caring about ourselves all together. i think that's a really good and attainable goal for the year. to care about yourself. care about your happiness. care about your health.
be the best YOU you can be. or figure out who you are period. you can't be the best you if you have no effin' clue who you are.
so.
rock it out this year.
if you're big on the NEW YEAR NEW YOU thing.
take it to the next level.
but as much as you learn to love yourself, remember to love others equally this year.
