You know the saying, "All of life is a stage?" Are you the star of your own life or are you in the background letting life dictate to you how your future will unfold?
Sometimes we all lose ourselves a bit. We forget we are important. We put everyone else and their needs first. We don't treat ourselves as good as we do others. We forget to shine. Dreams get put on hold, we settle for a less than satisfactory job or relationship, travel plans are delayed for "someday" but that someday never comes. Well, I say the "someday" is today. We are the authors of our own lives and we hold the pen that writes the script. Hope you add a little star quality to your day!

I love this post - I think we all need to remember to pamper ourselves and stay focused on our goals before life slips away from us. xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images second only to the wonderful reminder in your words! When life is full of confusion, chaos and/or uncertainty is so easy to forget who we are and to forget that we too deserve kindness from ourselves!!
ReplyDeleteMay we all learn to shine and continue to write our chapters by "living" them..xo Blessings, HHL

yes, we should balance.. treat the others excellent and treat ourselves excellent as well.. give a little and give us a little.. I haven't been the star of my own life lately but I am for sure doing it this week.. have a wonderful day Debbie..
ReplyDeleteSuch an empowering post! Makes me stop and think to make sure I'm the star of my own life and not the stagehand.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous post!! And I love the Coco quote... and the MAC red! :) I couldn't agree with you more... we put ourselves on the back burner... our needs, loves, wants and health. I constantly have to recheck myself. xo
