My always 30 checklist:-
- Get rid of my “chubby chick” image;
- Paint my toe-nails cherry red, enhance my gray blue eyes with smokey make-up, keep my lips lucious!
- To let go of my fears and limitations;
- To avoid people trying to put me down in life
- To make my own choices, living it and loving it!
- To do what makes me happy
- To stop being afraid of love
No 1: I decided to let go of my “fears” and tackle the diet thing heads on! I started my diet this past Wednesday, small portions more frequently and then in the evenings I do some 30 minute workout of either Taebo or Hip hop abs and this almost former “chubby chick” is glad to inform you guys that I already lost 2kg and some cm’s! Now the only thing is to keep it up hey?
No 2: I’m using this pretty little face (with my chubby cheeks) every morning as a canvas starting a new masterpiece! Oooohhh and do I look like just gorgeous every day!!! The compliments are rolling in! I can so get use to it, but before I float away on cloud nine, what these people dishing the compliments don’t know is that some mornings I need to wash, moisterize and start all over again because this artist has a “block” and I look more like some creation out of my dark, moarning era, than a masterpiece! But hey we’ll keep that our little secret!
No 3: phew the fears and limitations!! After I’ve done some thinking (not to worry, no braincells were hurt during this action) I realized the only limitations one has in life is the ones you create for yourself! No reason to ask “Why me?, rather ask “Why not me?” ok ok - let’s just get this straight - the later question isn’t supposed to be asked when something good happens to other people, it’s supposed to be asked when something difficult happens to yourself! Now I know if it weren’t for physics and law enforcement I would of been unstoppable!!!
No 4: Reminder: God made you, and He didn’t make no rubbish!!! Don’t allow people to put you down in life!!! Yeah I know this is sometimes difficult due to the feeling you get with people like this before the anger strikes! Oh come on we all do it, even if we deny it: “Sjame they need someone like me in their life, look how difficult things is going with him/her.” Stop to try and defend or justify someone who puts you down in life behaviour! They do it out of choice!!! Yeah you heard me! Avoid people who put you down in life, their motivation is jealousy! Surround yourself with laughing, optimistic and loving friends who embrace you into a circle of love. Friends who go through the process of learning to get to know you and love you for who you are, who are there to surround you with love and support when you make a mistake!
No 5: Every person’s life is consisting of a string of choices you make in life and you can’t blame anyone for your choices! And the scary truth is, we write our own life stories, some are sad, some are hysterical, some are best sellers! The thing is, there is no writing in pencil where you can just erase, it’s ink, and you can try to wipe it out with a correction pencil, but the truth is, you’re just covering it up. At some stage the correction fluid is going to crack and all is going to surface. Make your choices in life, don’t let other people make it for you! After all the only person who is going to be with you for the rest of your life is you yourself!
No. 6: No make-up, clothes or make over can make you look quite as beautiful as you are when you are truly happy! There is really nothing more beautiful, the smile, the twinkle in the eyes, the blush on your cheeks and the glowing! It is as though you discovered some big secret that no one knows about! When you feel like this the whole world look like this to you! Do what makes you happy! Read, laugh till your tummy hurts, dance in the rain, sing in the shower! When that gorgeous guy smiles at you, and it feels like your inside is melting and you wanna jump up and down, jump up and down! You’ll feel even better after doing this! Let go of the thought: “What will the people think?”
No. 7: We all have been through this scenario: The person you fancy notices you, the shy smiles, the eyes that twinkle, the butterflies turning your tummy upside down, the sweaty palms, the knees that all of a sudden starts wobbling, and then your biggest embaressment: they start a conversation and you want to answer in a normal voice - really you want to, but it’s one of the following situations; 1) the words gets stuck in your throat and no matter how you try all you can get out is, uhm or ahh and nothing more; 2) you start blabbering like a old wind up tape, talking in riddles and weird saying just pouring out of your mouth like word vomit, while you thinking who on earth took possesion of your mouth and tongue because it so doesn’t sound like you! 3) your conversation is normal but all of a sudden you stutter!
But even with this the date is made and while getting ready for this date you try your best to look perfect! The date goes well and soon the two of you are the newest hot item on the town! You date, you talked and the whole relationship is exactly all you wanted!
And then it all starts. People meddling, always waiting for something to go wrong when everything is good. People thinking Wow! it’s too perfect. Then the fear and the insecurity sets in! And we ourselves mess it up!!! Eventually you break up because you are scared of getting hurt! Make a desicion to let go of your insecurities and fears! Enjoy every moment and all will work out the way it’s suppose too. Stop to try and create a happy ending for yourself! Sometimes your heart will get bruised or broken, and it will take time to get over it, but while you’re busy getting over it, God is busy putting your heart back together and nursing it to health, and one day you will wake up to find it in perfect health again!
I’m so much happier since I started to apply the above in my life and I intend to live a happy, content and wonderful life!
Hope all of you have a wonderful day!
