Being Yourself....

I know i base a lot of my posts around quotes but i find that they inspire me the most!
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss.
I think that one of the most important things about growing up is still believing in who you are and becoming who others want you to be. The worst thing you can do is to change who you are just because you want to fit in. Fitting in with the rest of the population is not why we were put on this earth! Each and every one of us are meant to shine, stand out and bring something new and special to this world. I believe everyone is capable of being that person or more importantly being their own person. Sometimes, especially as a teenager you get this feeling that if you are not like everyone else or what people want you to be, then you are not good enough or worth anything. But the truth is, that if you have the strength to be your own person and always walk with your head held high then you are the one that will go far in this world and truly shine....

The Sign...

I found this photo on the Internet and am not sure who the very talented photographer is but something about this image caught my eye. To many people this could simply be a picture of a sign post in the middle of no where but to me i found it so much more, i found this photo inspiring. It stands there all alone with nothing but the wind blowing through the grass to keep it company but it still stands tall and provides its purpose in life. Even though many people might simply ignore this sign because they have no use for it, it is still there and still exists and to some people it might be the most important thing they see all day because it will point them in the direction they need to go in life. So just remember next time you see something or someone that might not seem important to you, that they have their own purpose in life just like you. Everyone is special in their own way just like this sign post was special to me...
