My new moto is "Wish I Were Here". As in the old travel postcard cliche "Wish You Were Here". This is my reminder to BE where you're at, IN the moment, and love IT & YOURSELF. I'm SO SICK of people complaining about lives... their circumstances, finances, weight, possessions, beauty and lack thereof, etc etc. I frickin love my life. Of course I can find things to complain about, but then I just quit looking for them. Amazing how that works. Quit looking for things to complain about!
I'm not saying this because I'm at a point in my life where I've attained the things I wanted for myself. I remember feeling like this in our first house - all old, no grass, sitting outside drinkin a beer, not much money in the bank. I was still the same person then. Now I have a pool. Big deal. Things are more comfortable now, but I rocked then, and I rock now.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't always be motivated to better your self or your life. What I am saying is: have the sense of self that reminds you that you're THE BOMB. Who wouldn't want to be you? Next time you put on a bikini or boardshorts, feel good in them. Next time you have a scrap with family or a buddy, remind yourself how lucky you are to have that person to fight with. If you quit wasting time pining over what others have, it'll probably come true for you. If you're not cool with youself, how can anyone else be?
