quote tuesday: be the best

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

this quote goes out to my husband (who just turned 30 yesterday...yay happy birthday). yes, sometimes in life you have to do things that you don't want to do. and yes sometimes those things are scary because you don't know what to expect...but if you don't know what's coming then there really isn't a point in stressing over the unknown and making up stories in your head because then that just makes things worse and makes you crazy which then makes me cray. you just go and do the best you can.

so this week you need to do what you need to do, learn what you need to learn, and you'll be a much better you when it's all said and done. love you!

one thing i've learned in life is to not be afraid to fail. to not worry if the answer might be no or if you might get laughed at. i love failing. making mistakes and falling flat on your face is the best way to learn and grow. i've also learned that if you really want something then you do what you need to to get it. even if it takes forever and a day...sometimes you just need to keep trying and not take no for an answer. and then sometimes, the stars align and all that falling on your face turns into a kiss on the check and thing start looking up.

a way with words...

i am a quote whore. i just think it's amazing how certain words put together can totally change your entire perspective on life. if it were up to me i would have quotes covering my walls...hmmm note to self for future home. so day 4 of the challange is: "favorite quote and why you love it"...

this one was hard for me because like i said...quote whore...but i think one that i will always love is this...

i think so many times we hold ourselves back from being the amazing people we are. i mean lets be real here...there are a lot of mean people in this world...and especially when you are on the verge of greatness, people like to bring you down, and that just makes me so sad. i'm a big fan of telling myself how great i am...and no i'm not kidding...i think i'm pretty fantastic...and i don't apologize for that, i embrace it. and my hope is that you embrace your fabulousness too!

and speaking of fab and quotes i'm so excited to share my new fave accessory....
