Affirmation for May 19, 2010: Be Yourself
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
- Judy Garland
Thought of the day:
Find yourself, be yourself, because no one can do it better than you can! You owe it to yourself to find out what makes you beautiful, and wear it proudly.
Focusing on how to be the best person you can be, with your unique combination of strengths and experiences, will lead to the most fulfilling life. It's difficult not to be discouraged when we feel the pressure to be like someone else, whether it be a competitor, a sibling, or a friend.
Just remember that in the end, we're all in a league of our own, and success is discovering the wonderful potential that is in all of us, and reaching the utmost of that potential.
Have an enlightened day!

I totally agree with what Team DS is saying. When I read other mom\'s journals I sometimes think, I don\'t cry enough, or I\'m not doing enough to memorialize Denise\'s memory, or I should do more, know more, touch more people, but I am who I am, do what I can do, know what to say and what not to say, and I have to be comfortable with who I am at this time in my life.

so true it,s better to like yourself and be happy than unhappy all the time
