"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
I met a pretty amazing woman the other day at a presentation. She had been a bulimic for 23 years, and she's been recovered for the last 2. After working for years for a weight-loss company and a cosmetics brand, she now has made it her career to help people see their bueaty on the inside and out.
What I liked most was that her motto was "Be Real... Be True... Be You... Head 2 Toe!" That phrase, while quite simple, was powerful enough to get her where she is now on her journey. I've always thought that words could do a lot, and I started thinking that everyone should have their own Power Phrase. Something that can get you through tough times, but also can make you inspired. Like "HakunaMatata."
So of course I've been trying to pick one out for myself. It's tough. I like "What would you do if you knew you were fabulous?" That's pretty long though. "Just Do It" is pretty good, but taken. I kind of like "Live Beautifully." But maybe I'll keep thinking on it. Anyways, I think that if you can find a Power Phrase - even if it's a borrowed quote that you really like - keep it with you. Tape it in your notebook, write it on your mirror - and don't you forget it!
