Blogging Every Day in August: Something Beautiful (Day 11)

Sarah at Yummy Mummy In Training has set herself a challenge of blogging every day in August and has listed her prompts. As my blogging is a bit hit and miss at the moment, I will be using her prompts to generate some ideas too. 

Today's prompt is: Something Beautiful 

Bet you can't guess what that made me think of?! Ha!
Of course, my daughter. Yes, obviously I am biased but I think she is beautiful. 

I have told her everyday since she was born that she is beautiful and clever. I don't just mean in the looks sense either.

But am I setting her up for self esteem issues in later life, as has been suggested recently? Or can we just take things in perspective and realise each and everyone of us is beautiful?

Yes, that does include you. And me! 

 

I found this on Pinterest recently and love it, I can't find a source to credit, do let me know if you know who it is.

Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself and there will come a day when others will have no choice but to believe with you.

What Do You Want?

You can have everything in life that you want, 

if you will just help enough other people to get what they want. 

Zig Ziglar

Remember!

Never be afraid to try something new. 

Remember, amateurs built the ark. 

Professionals built the Titanic...

Where There Is No Path

Do not go where the path may lead, 

go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Waldo Emerson

What Are Your Goals?

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. 

The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach. 

Benjamin Mays

You Can Never Go Wrong

As you go on in this world...

always believe in your dreams.

Keep looking forward to the future...

to all you might be.

Don't let old mistakes or misfortunes hold you down.

Learn something new every day.

Be interested in others and what they might teach you.

Believe in yourself.

So long as you are true to the strength within your own heart...

You can never go wrong.

Ashley Rice

Perseverance and Confidence

Life is not easy for any of us. 

But what of that? 

We must have perseverance and above all, confidence in ourselves. 

We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this something, at whatever cost, must be attained. 

Marie Curie

Apply And Do

Knowing is not enough, we must apply. 

Willing is not enough, we must do. 

Johann von Goethe

Are You Shallow Or Strong?

Shallow men believe in luck. 

Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Believe in Yourself and Remember That Anything is Possible

Believe in what makes you
feel good
And what makes you happy.
Believe in the dreams
you've always wanted
to come true,
and give them every chance to.
If you are willing to take the
opportunities you are given
and utilize the abilities
you have,
you will constantly fill
your life with special moments
and unforgettable times.
No one knows the mysteries
of life
or its ultimate meaning,
but for those who are willing
to believe in their dreams
and in themselves,
life is a precious gift
in which anything
is possible.

Dena DiIaconi

Failure Is...

Failure is a successful person's best friend. 

It is not meant to discourage you.

It is meant to teach you to do it again and better.

Happiness

People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; 

looking for peace. 

They chase idle dreams, addictions, religions, 

even other people, 

hoping to fill the emptiness that plagues them. 

The irony is the only place they ever needed to search was within.

A Friend...

Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say "HI"
Doesn't give up on you
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Just wants to 'be' with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never judges
Offers support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Values you
Walks with you
Xplain things you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen
Zaps you back to reality
