I believe Some people think you have to go that extra mile to be a nice person. Not really, it’s actually very simple to show some respect. It doesn’t take super-natural powers to not be judgmental and lovely and last time I checked you don’t have to take four years of college to earn a degree in compassion, or get your bachelors in how to be sweet. It does however take a lot of extra effort, and a certain amount of skill I suppose to be nasty, harsh, and pessimistic. Yes,you have to work pretty hard at letting your soul grow cold, and your heart get mean.. it’s almost a full time job.
I believe It’s your life so live it how you want to. If you want to be a slave to a scale, a tag on the inside of your jeans, or a body on the cover of a magazine, go for it. You can starve yourself down to nothing if that is what makes you happy, and sit in your own lonely little miserable world. You can also choose to take a bite out of life, embrace what it has to give you and stop obsessing over the fiction going on in your head . Someday it’s all gonna end, leave this world knowing you lived your life, not lost it.
I believe I would rather have one genuine heartfelt compliment said to my face, than one thousand pats on my back. If we don’t hear we are wanted, how are we ever going to feel we are needed? A girl no matter how big, how tough, or how secure just needs to hear she’s appreciated once in awhile…like say every full moon, or when it’s the time change…or Kobe makes a free throw…no schedule, no rhyme or reason….just a random..”props to ya lady, all you do is pretty darn Amazing”… this is all we need..this is what moves our Moxy.
I believe Nothing has molded me more as an individual than what I got from my past, but nothing has defined me more as a woman or as a human being than what I see for my future. Hurt, betrayal,abandonment, and the destruction of your soul can change who you were. Survival,determination,acceptance,and trusting your heart will change who you are.
I believe you don’t have to meet someone to understand them, or know them to love them. I don’t think you have to be standing anywhere near them or next to them, to see that they are happy or to hear their cries of pain. I believe with my whole heart that you can undoubtedly never ever let go of somebody,even though they still may not be holding your hand.
I believe a lot of woman think that if they are strong minded they will be perceived as a Bitch. Let me tell you something, there are two kinds of Bitches in this world….the ones that know what they want in life, but don’t step on anybody or sleep with anybody to get it, and those that lack so much in inner confidence, that they let their hearts grow cold, and their personalities get rotten. Girls,you can be either, but I suggest you focus on being a sexy and secure femme fatal who doesn’t have to stand on other people, just to make herself feel taller. Remember it’s all about respect,after all, it’s always the “sweetest peach that has the strongest pit.
I believe Being a tough girl doesn’t have to mean you are unbreakable, it simply means you are not going to wallow in your pain, burden everybody else with it, or let it get in the way of who you are. It means feeling the hit, but not letting it knock you down. It means being the kind of girl who can wake up this morning smiling, like you haven’t been up crying last night.
I believe I mind and thank you for asking. I mind if you blow smoke in my face, I mind if you take the seat next to me, I mind that you are trying to strike up a stupid conversation, when I am trying to enjoy some peace. I mind that you sell obnoxiously small sizes at your store, and that all of your mannequins couldn’t conceive if they were alive. I mind that you think I care how much you ate today. I mind you telling me what number was on your scale this morning. I mind when you tell me you think you are fat when you are just looking for me to tell you you aren’t. I mind when you think I’m being inconsiderate that I mind..actually on second thought I really don’t mind if you do.
I believe Life is all about “stages” and that is for a reason. Each step of anything is an experience that helps you understand the one you just took, and the one that you are about to take. You don’t have to always know where you are going, but at least knowing where you started from and how you got there, makes for very fascinating conversation when you finally show up to the party.
I believe I can absolutely without a doubt be friends with people who are boring, but I cannot for the life of me be friends with people who think I am.
I believe you should FREE YOURSELF….Free yourself from habits that suppress you, people that depress you, and rules that repress you! Don’t hold back..free the athlete who you never were, the ballerina who never got to dance, or the diva who never had the chance to wear red stilettos! Be who you have always wanted to be, but never thought you could.
I believe you should STOP DREAMING AND JUST DO!! In other words don’t just “see” yourself in a Nike commercial….”Be” that friggin Nike commercial.
You don’t wake up from reality so I say run it well.
You don’t wake up from reality so I say run it well.
I believe Life is always going to be throwing curve balls, complications and downright confusions at you on a daily basis. If you haven’t gotten used to that by now, I suggest you start. I think any tough situation is only as rough as you react to it. When the world gives you one hundred reasons to frown, you have to turn around and give it one thousand reasons to smile.
See I believe in life, and the reason I do is because I almost lost mine to a disease called Anorexia and Bulimia. I believe that anybody can rise from the ashes and become a Phoenix. It’s about being a survivor not a victim. I believe in ME, and I most definitely believe in YOU!
