Who are YOU?

Really.

What are your likes & dislikes? What do you like to do?

I think getting to know yourself is one of the best things you can do to boost your own self-confidence. In the current information age, it’s so easy to get your opinions about things from other people in the media and/or blogs. Or even from your friends.

So, yes, everybody is listening to or wearing XYZ, does that mean you have to like it? Of course not! Every person has an opinion and point of view on everything. So spend time with yourself. Figure out what YOU like to do, not everybody else.

Do you like to read? Have you always wanted to take a cooking class? Are you interested in fashion? Engineering? Dance? Writing? Teaching? Architecture? Journalism? Health? Nutrition? Make-up? Foreign Languages? Music? Hair? Community service? Business? Traveling? Politics?

The list goes on and on.

Don’t be afraid to try a lot of new and different things that may interest you. That’s part of getting to know yourself! Try not to allow other peoples thoughts and opinions about things dictate what you do. Being overly concerned with the “status quo” or denying your own interests & opinions for the sake of fitting doesn’t do you any justice. Let your light shine!

There’s a quote on the vision board in my room that I love & it reads:

“What do you envision? Never forget that this is your one, precious life. Your life. And you have the power to create your future.”

So, with that, I want to encourage you live your best life. Figure out what interests you & don’t be afraid to try new things.

Want to train for a marathon? GO FOR IT!

Think you might like a new hairstyle? GIVE IT A SHOT!

Always wanted to try sushi? TRY IT!

Interested in taking dance lessons? DO IT!

Don’t sit on the sidelines of your own life. Live it! :)
