Let’s Follow Through!

Happy Stay Sexy Thursday!
Being brave to take the first step is indeed, an act of bravery, courage, intestinal fortitude, etc. However, I have always known, and especially recently, have re-discovered that it’s only the beginning to an even more demanding and difficult obstacle ahead. Though worthwhile, taking that first step and getting the “go ahead” answer seems like a huge leap, but really, it’s only a tiny step towards an even greater challenge – follow through.

Not only is taking that first step incredibly important, it is the maintaining of that momentum to continue to move forward, complete the task or objective you had set out to conquer. Though there will be setbacks, being confident in the person you are, being resolute to why you chose to move forward, and that even when you feel like you’re at square one, you will never be there again. Remind yourself to keep your head up, eyes forward, and maintain the stay sexy attitude to: always make your best effort, seek to always find the good in yourself and in others, smile and love often.

Confidence must always continue to be nurtured to be maintained throughout our lives and even when we fall short, we must remember that “failure isn’t failure, if a lesson from it’s learned.” (bonus points if you know this reference). Sexy starts first in the head, then in the heart!

Brave Accusations

It's that time of the week again. Stay Sexy Thursday! This week I have been accused of being brave and courageous. I don't see myself that way, just willing to do what needs to be done despite the fear, and staying committed to the task. I guess that's courage, but I sure didn't feel all that courageous while doing it. ("it" being whatever needs to be done). Be courageous. Be encouraged. Be who you choose to be, and choose to be Awesome. Sexy starts within, and oozes out our pores. Courage: : mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty "Don't let fear hold you back when you should go forward." or in two short words "Not Scared." (you know this Ninja aka Kelly)"

Be Resilent

Resilience, buoyancy, enthusiasm, belief, trust, coolness, self-reliance, certain, sure, committed, firm, steadfast and poised. These are all words synonymous with, and/or complementary to the word - Confidence. They are at the nucleus of what “Stay Sexy Thursday” epitomizes. I know it’s late, I’ve been busy, but know here and now that when life sends me a challenge, I work hard to face it head on. Hey, I like a challenge as it makes me sweat a little and forces me to lengthen my stride.

“Be resilient in your effort to continue to improve and love yourself. Stay committed to keep your cool when faced with adversity. Do more than keep this belief and certainty locked inside yourself; share it with others with enthusiasm and buoy up those around you. Trust yourself to stay firm and steadfast in the wake of trials. Know with a surety that YOU are a child of God and are never alone. Sexy starts with you.”

Pep talk to self over.
