Like I have previously mentioned I will be starting the next chapter of my life very soon...in fact in just a few days. School will end, I will move out of my apartment, start a job, move even farther away from home, and have to get used to the fact that I will not be seeing my friends on an every day basis. All of these changes can be scary and a little overwhelming.
About a week ago one of the gentleman I will be working with sent me a book that was written by the founder of the company I will be working for. The book is titled "I Dare You". Funny he should know that I really enjoy reading self motivating books with words of encouragement. These kinds of books always make me feel better about life's struggles and push me to make improvements in my own life.
On the first page of the book it says give this book the strength of ten. The author challenges the reader to pass the book on to ten others and challenge them to stand tall, think tall, smile tall , and live tall. So i figured this is a wonderful chance for me to use this blog I have created. When I read books I like to keep a pencil by my side and mark the things that should be read more than once.
Before I even made it past the forward I had already stumbled across something I think everyone could benefit from. Be your own self, at your best, all the time. I find this to be a tremendous piece of advice. It can apply to anyone at any time.
For me this advice came at a wonderful time. It reminded me that no matter what point of my life I am in I need to always strive to not lose sight of the things I want out of life, the person I want to be, and the goals I want to accomplish. Sometimes these simple reminders can be the best kind. When life gets hectic and things don't go the way we had planned or hoped for we need to remember at every moment we are shaping our lives for our future.
