I am going to channel my inner Popeye this week.  Which in my head is always Robin Williams.  Seriously this movie came out in 1980, I can't be that old can I?  =)

Any who, this week is all about accepting who I am.  We all spend so much time and energy trying to change things about ourselves.  Sometimes it is nice to just sit back and enjoy who you are.  

We all have our own gifts and talents.  Rather than trying to live up to some other person's model of how we should be, we need to embrace ourselves and who we are.  Accept yourself as is, and then simply strive to be the best possible version of you there is.  

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

  1. I couldn't agree more Holly - being the best version of ourselves is definitely better than being a mild version of someone else :)

  2. You are so right you will never be able to live up to other people's expectations, or be what they want you to be.

  3. I think the same Popeye bit...I just can't help it :) Seriously though, your post is an excellent reminder to like one's self just for being. I forget that a lot, and it's easy to become discouraged about what kind of progress I'm making on whatever goal it is I'm working towards.
