Covet the life you live.
(via Shelby at Joielala)
“If you’ve ever doubted yourself, walk deep into any forest. Notice how the trees still stand even though they are given no recognition. Walk along any stream. The water still flows, though no one stops to praise it. Watch the stars late at night; they shine without acknowledgment. Humans are just the same. We are made out of the same elements as these beautiful wonders. Always remember your beauty and self worth.” – Source unknown
“If someone shows you who they really are, believe them.” – Maya Angelou
Goodness. That really says it right there, doesn’t it?
If someone shows you who they really are, believe them.
Though I can’t say I’ve spent a lot of time poring over the works of Maya Angelou, this quote’s always resonated with me. I heard it roughly 100 times in my 20s during a crappy relationship from which I couldn’t seem to extricate myself (shout to to my best friend Melissa for always repeating the line to me (!)… even if she did credit Dr. Phil for the sage advice).
Here’s to always listening to that inner voice in your head, and to a great week these next few days.
xoxo,
