Be you.... And nothing Less!

Do you ever get so exhausted of trying to please everyone?  Trying to be what they or what the world says you should be?  

When I look at my own life I have finally come full circle to see that the reason I have failed relationships, marriage and so on is because I am trying to live up to the standards of society and the world.  I am not living my life for me or those who matter to me.  I am living my life in fear of being judged, being ridiculed and so much more.  

In life we will get knocked down.  We will fail, not just once but over and over again.  This builds character.  Without ever failing how can we ever be successful?    

We have adapted this mindset that everyone should get a participation trophy... REALLY!  Tell me how does this prepare any child or human for life.  Because now we have a society of people who feel we owe them something without ever working for it.  The cold and bold truth is that no participation trophy will ever prepare  you for the game of life.  It will never teach you how to get up when you fall down.  It will never build character.  It will never be the reason you get out of bed in the morning.... Come on here, who says when they get up in the morning look at me today I get a "participation" trophy just for showing up!  Look at our welfare rates.  We make it so easy for people not to work, to live off the government.  Then we ridicule people for working 2 or 3 jobs to provide for there families.  We criticize them when a blessing comes there way.  We judge them because they miss a ballgame or choir concert.  But wait, they are working.  They providing a roof and food for there family.  

This past year has been hard for me.  For the first time I have been that mom who has missed that choir concert, football game or been late to that track meet.  It has never been because I didn't want to be there.  it has always been because I want my kids to have a home, food, clothes and to see what it takes to be someone in life. 

Being who you are is not always going to be easy.  To be honest when is it really?  But being the you, the person you are destine to be is the most crucial thing you can do in life.  Stop living and thinking the world owes you.  Instead get up off the ground, wipe the dirt off you, and stand for something.  Stand for your life, for your beliefs and most importantly for yourself.  

We can all live in fear of being who we are or we can embrace it.  And live an awesome life!!!!  

Strive to be better then your yesterday, better then your past and be ready to fight for your life!!!
