Living Life Under 5 Foot

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo

We each have a life, we each live those lives a certain way. I believe in a God who does not judge or condemn or acts as if He is better than us. So why is it so often in this world we find that? This world if full of imperfect people. Each of us. All of us. There isn't a single person in this world who is perfect. Like said above, we each have a life, we each live those lives in different ways. Accept it. Just because you have found God, doesn't mean those who haven't are less than you. If you are straight, those who are confused or homosexual DO NOT deserve to be treated awful. There are some who may struggle in your religion, it DOES NOT give you the right to tell them what to do or act as if you are a better person because you go to church more. I'm sure that God loves all of us. Mistakes, temptations and all. To Whom It May Concern:  Sorry to break your bubble.  But you ARE NOT better than anyone.  Judge less.  Love more. We each (m

In high school, I spent hours on my hair and make up. I had to look PERFECT every day. I would not leave the house if I had a zit that wouldn't be covered. Really. I was THAT girl. This lack of confidence carried through to college, and even until a few short months ago. What changed? Honestly, it wasn't till I broke my nose that I realized what it was. I finally find myself pretty. I rarely wear all the make up I used to. In fact I have slowly begun to wear less and less. I mean, I wear enough that I get ready in the morning, but I don't put on the pounds like I used to because I have real beauty. We all have real and true beauty. Yet, we allow others to define our sense of beauty and our view becomes distorted through the media. Did you know that there has not been a single picture put out by any media source in over a decade that hasn't been doctored.(USA Today)  Now I'm not talking about just removing a blemish. I'm speaking of enlarging eyes, puff

We have the chance to be great. Each of us are born with this untapped greatness about us. Yet, why is it we waste such God given talent? Placebo Effect.  In Princeton in 2002, a young college student held a 'kegger party' however instead of beer, he had non- alcoholic beer. Which smells, and tastes like beer but it does not contain alcohol. He then recorded his friends who soon began acting drunk because they believed they were drunk. These college students were passing out, throwing up, walking crazy, and even slurring their speech. Yet not a single one of them were drunk.  What your brain believes will happen, WILL HAPPEN. The only way things don't happen is if you say can't. Can't means won't. We as a human race need to begin to believe again. To believe in ourselves, and the abundant greatness we hold within ourselves. The successes we can accomplish that no one on this planet can.  You were born here at this time, this country, and

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it.  Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me.  Enjoy.  I heard the doctor, but what did he say, I knew I was fine about this time yesterday.- Ben Rector, When a Heart Breaks.  If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone, Carry on. - FUN, Carry On. It's time to defy gravity- Wicked, Defying Gravity  It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you- Rocket to the Moon, Dakota  It's okay not to be okay, sometimes it's hard to follow your heart. Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are- Jessie J, Who you are. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't kill you makes you a fighter- Kelly Clarkson, Stronger You can't carry i

The sport of hurdles involves running, and then when a hurdle comes you have to jump it and continue on your run. It's usually 110 Meters long, and the point is to be the fastest. Basically it's a more difficult 100 meter race. Obstacles are placed in the runners way on purpose. Why do we have hurdles? What's the point? It has been said that the only way a person can have self confidence is by overcoming hurdles. Because accomplishing something you didn't think you could results in a special kind of high, that makes you think that you are wonderful, worth something, and that the sky is the limit. If we didn't have hurdles, we would be a weak miserable people. This world, every nation, family, school, and people have hurdles. We all have things that weigh us down, cause pain and beat us up a little bit. Here are my steps to overcoming hurdles. 1) Know what it is. Figure out that you may be struggling with something. Label it. Define it. Don't let it def

Want to know something neat? If you put 5 crabs in a bucket, you don't have to put a lid on it!!! They will all stay in there!  Why is that? You must ask. Because, the other crabs will pull the one trying to leave back in.  Why is that? Because misery loves company. If something gets out of the pot that means others are still in it. If someone wins, that means someone loses.  Today I compare those crabs to us. Each of us find a ourselves in a "pot" in life. Whether it's school, social, family, work, or mistakes. We are all in pots. Now see the thing about a pot, is they are negative, and we are surrounded by negative crabs who can sometimes bring us down. WE MUST CLIMB OUT.  We climb out by dreaming big, accomplish great things, and helping others climb out as well. No vice needs to hold us down. Surround yourself with like minded people. Positive people, and the change will naturally happen. The crabs that are holding you down w

For those of you who don't know.  The most successful people in this world have 1 thing in common.  They have a goal, written down, that they view daily.  Do it.  It will change your life. If you feel you can't succeed. Get that sick voice out of your head and move forward. All the doors are open for everyone. We are made equal. We are made for greatness.  BELIEVE.
