Throughout the last few months I have been so stuck on what I don't have. I've became depressed at times because I don't have the body I want, I can never find clothes that I like, or even simply because I feel like there are so many people with such cuter this or such nicer that. The list could go on and on. You all know what I'm talking about. I don't get like this too often, but when I do it seriously sucks the energy right out of me. I obsess over trying to lose weight or how I can earn money to buy this or that and still save at the same time. The thing is, all I'm focused on when I get like this is ME or US.
This article had a lot of great points in it, but the point that stuck out to me had to do with what defines who you are being how you treat others, not how you look, what you own, or what you wear.
Now I'm not one to talk because doing my makeup and shopping are two of my favorite pastimes. However, I learned something from this article. Actually, I wouldn't even say I learned it, because I've known it all along. After all, I too had a great mother who was an example of this to me. I was reminded of it.
I remember being in school and being taught what character meant. The way our teacher described it as was who you are when no one's looking. It has seriously stuck in my head since that day.
When the time comes for each of us we aren't going to be remembered for the things we have or even how we look. We will be remembered for how we treat people.
From today on out I'm going to try really hard to not let that depression of what I don't have or how I don't look get the best of me.
I soo needed to find this article and maybe some of you will too! So here's the link to it.
