Motivational Monday… Be Who You Are Now

I have learned to be excited about the changes in life whereas I once was upset that things didn't go exactly how I was hoping they would.  I leave my life in the hands of God and say thy will be done!

Great advice, Kathy. Can't live in "woulda, coulda, shoulda land." Your post reminded me of Popeye when he said I yam, what I yam!

Who are you? I really want to know... as the song goes.

To me this means...Embrace your current self and use it as a foundation to create a compelling future version of you.

Interesting question...Am I the person I thought I would be. That would take some pondering.

Hi Kathy, thank you for sharing this! Also, the quotes are very influential ..

I so agree, be the best "you". Great information. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your week!

Good morning Kathy Streib ,

Excellent advice. You are right life throws us curveballs, bumps in the toad pop up and forces us to take detours we were not expecting.

I like your quote selections and your advice.

Have a great day, Kathy, and an outstanding week.

Kathy this is very true.  I never would have imagined in my 20's and 30's I would have done in my 50's, 60's, & 70's plus.

Hi Kathy I saw an awesome video of a soldier that lost 4 limbs and quickly figured out while in Walter Reid how to move forward with acceptance and a new vision of his life with the hep of another inspiring retired general.  Now this man in a motivational speaker and a comedian.  I was inspired by him. Whatever little things we have to deal with today is nothing compared to that man!!  What a great guy who is going to do a lot of good for many folks over his years.   As for me, happy to be where I am in this moment and the next and next.....

This is a timely read Kathy Streib 

It resonates with what I told someone the other day. 

We do not need to agree on things.  You just be you, and do you. 

I will be me.  It's okay to disagree. 

Everyone is met with challenges, Kathy. We have a friend that was severely injured, lost his left arm just below the elbow and his fellow soldiers died, by an IED in Iraq. To date, he has had over 100 surgeries. I cannot imagine what the day-to-day holds for him mentally. Thank goodness for a sense of humor...His license plate says, LEFTHOOK!

After all the curve balls that have been thrown my way, you think I would have learned to hit one.  Thankfully, I have learned to deal with anything else that has been thrown my way, so I can live with it.  😃

I like the quotes, Kathy.  I often think I lived half my life thinking I was one thing, only to learn I was really quite another.

Kathy Streib  I always wanted to be a pilot and wanted to go to the Air Force Academy.... needless to say my eyesight was not good enough and ended up going to USMA instead.... and I consider myself lucky and grateful where the road lead me to.... even today, Endre

Sometimes the things that seem like a horrible twist turn out to put us in a far better place.
