December 8 – Beautifully Different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you’ll find they’re what make you beautiful. (Author: Karen Walrond)
What you see is what you get! There's nothing fake about me. I think people appreciate the fact that I am a realist. Eventhough it doesn't get me the most popular votes, my tendency to keep things real, and not try to be soemthing I'm not is refreshing. At work, I am in somewhat of a leadership position and I always try to remind the people I work with that my job is to do what's best for kids, it's not about us, the teachers! I don't give into people who complain about things that they have the power to change. I stay true to my own beliefs and passions, even when it doesn't go with the majority.
I am always striving to be my best. I don't believe in perfection, in fact, perfect is a word I detest! But I do believe I can always be better and I constantly look for ways to improve. I look for ways to improve my job performance. I challenge myself to work out harder than before. I put the past behind me and try to look forward and make the best of the hand I've been dealt. I see how unhappy some people in my family are, and I say, " We have this amazing power as human beings to change things." and I act on it! I'm the only person who can change the way I think, feel, and act.I don't blame others. We all make choices.Speaking of choices, I will admit I've made some bad ones, but with each poor choice I've made, I've found a lesson and taken the learning with me throughout my life.
I am not materialistic, I enjoy nice things, but can do without the latest trends and fads. I enjoy giving to others, but I don't give things to people expecting something in return. The thought is what counts, and I strongly believe in that. I am very fortunate for the things I have been given and able to acquire in my life, I don't take it for granted.
Great post!
