Fun, thought provoking, interesting tidbits :)

I came upon this website (thanks Hoots) www.owningpink.com It's got some good stuff in there. Sometimes a little too 'new-agey' for me. But in general, good stuff.

For example, here's a couple of their things to strive for:

BE AUTHENTIC

Strive to be all you, all the time. Be the Nancyest of Nancys or the Janest of Janes or the Billyest of Billys. Do you even know who that person is, or are you so busy wearing masks that you’ve lost touch with your authentic core. Don’t judge the real YOU. Just OWN it, love it, express it, BE it.

CHANGE WILLINGLY

Change can be scary as hell, but it can also be transforming. Don’t put yourself in boxes you can’t get out of. Those who are willing to go with the flow of the Universe must be willing to allow change into their lives, even when it feels uncomfortable.

FEAR NOT

How would you live if you took fear out of the equation? Isn’t that a clarifying question? Now assess the fears that hold you back. Are they valid fears meant to protect you or just limiting fears that are keeping you from living the life you’ve always wanted? Surrender your fears to make room for possibility.

GIVE FREELY

Give to others with absolutely no expectation of receiving anything in return. Not only will it bring you joy to do so, but you have the power to change someone’s life. Make a conscious effort every day to give a gift of love to someone who needs it. It will change your life

KEEP LEARNING

Just because you graduate doesn’t mean you aren’t a perpetual student. Keep your mind open, seek the truth, get out of your box, cross barriers, and keep your eyes pealed for growth opportunities. What have you been curious about? Buy a book, sign up for a workshop, get online and study!

SPEAK YOUR TRUTH

What would you say if you didn’t care what anyone thought? Write it down. Tell the whole truth.Now speak your truth to someone you trust. OWN it. It’s YOUR truth

BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR SKIN Accept your body just the way it is. That doesn’t mean you can’t strive to make it more healthy, but say this out loud right now. “I love my body, just the way it is.” Repeat that mantra 10 times daily. Plastic surgery, expensive skin treatments, and fancy hair dyes will never fulfill you if you don’t love yourself. Instead, change the things you can change to better reflect your inner beauty. Invite your appearance to reflect who you really are. Let your wardrobe reflect your authentic self. When you’ve got mojo, you’re beautiful, regardless of your weight, your body shape, your hair color, or your wrinkles.

There's more... but you get the point :) Good stuff huh !! The website is more blog than website so drop by.
