Transformation Thursday? It starts with I can.

I've shared this before but it is absolutely 1000% worth posting over and over again.

People struggle.  We ALL struggle.  Life is hard.  We overdo ourselves.  Something else outdoes us.  We get down on ourselves (and sometimes others do too).  We have moments, though.  We have moments of brilliance and hope and excitement and belief that even though life is tough, WE ARE TOUGHER.

I once heard that 30 seconds of courage is all you need...I think that applies here, too.  30 seconds of courage, of belief, of "I can do this" that get you from the couch to your feet, from the "I can't" to the "I will" from the "I'm not" to the "I can be!"

This video gets me every time.  I think it reminds me that we have a limited time.  We shouldn't take "no" for an answer when it comes to our health and our lives...we should find the answers, we should find the support, we should find encouragement to make ourselves better people and we shouldn't stop until we're doing what we hoped we might someday be capable of.

Life is tough.  Be tougher.  He can.  I can.  You can.  Be the change.

Never, Ever Give Up.

Constant Origami...

You should totally check out this post called The Glorious Unfolding, no matter what age you are.  It is thought-inspiring on many levels.  The commentary from readers is refreshing, encouraging, friendly, and honest.  I think we can all relate.

We are constant origami.  We are a body that is folded and unfolded and refolded and bent and creased and slowly we become what we already were but sometimes in a different shape than we set out thinking we would become.  Fascinating.

Are you who you thought you'd be?  Who you want to be?

I wonder if my younger self would be proud of me.  I wonder if she'd find me boring or if she'd tell me that I still haven't done what I've set out to do yet and ask me when I was thinking I might do something about it.  Have a conversation with your younger self one of these days (if you can remember him/her).  Let me know how it goes :)
