If you are fortunate enough to have your life anniversary in
March or know someone who does, then you know how special today is. Don't
worry. This post won't highlight how fabulous March babies are, or the fact
that my birthday is in 21 days, or that you don't have to wait until the 22nd
to send gifts. So, allow me to highlight this.
Lately, I've had conversations with people who are absolutely mean...to
themselves! What am I talking about? "Of
course you'll have to help me, I can be stupid sometimes", "I have
such an ugly shape", "I don't like how my voice sounds",
"Why do I have to be so picky, I'm such a freak", "I'm such an
idiot for doing this"; The negative words that people used to describe
themselves was so overwhelming. By the way, these words weren't spoken by kids,
they were coming from grown-ups, the "mature I don't get carded
anymore" adults! I'm all for a coke, a smile, a good joke, and a laugh,
but ...DAMN. Doesn't anyone believe in
the power words have? Doesn't anyone consider that life can have a way of
bringing you what you speak? As adults, aren't we to become more accepting of
ourselves? Shouldn't the words we speak about ourselves be filled with life, authority,
and confidence? Shouldn't we look in the mirror and see a fearless warrior, a
survivor, a VIP, an All-Star?
