Words to the Wise

Categories
Lifestyle

I take Juice Plus daily vitamins under the sponsorship of Shelley Simpson. In addition to the health benefits that come in the capsules, there are also mental benefits.   

Recently there was a written insert which I thought was quite instructive.

The subject was being awesome and it stated "here are three ways to be more awesome. 

1. Stop worrying about what other people think.  Instead of trying to live in accordance with other people's expectations, live in accordance with your values.

2. Be authentically you. Be the awesome, quirky, unique person that you are. Belonging comes from being yourself and finding people who love you that way, not from pretending to be someone else.

3. Do what you love. Awesome people pursue their passions." 

They are truly words to the wise and I will try harder to live up to them (especially the second one about be authentically me).  :)

Thank you they are indeed perfect words to send me into the weekend and ones I think we all need to remember more often. I am going to show this to my daughter who actually has been living by these words since she was a little girl.

It's none of my business what you think of me. Great book.

Interesting way to look at it...

I already know that you are awesome, Fred. And you inspire me to be awesome too. :)

generally agree but with # what those "thinkers" do may require attention and even push back (in the normal course of what we do, of course.)

My, how the wisdom of inserts in foods has changed. I am still guided by the messages in fortune cookies.

I love all three. It's up to the individual to try and live life in that way. Can be tough but ultimately worthwhile.

Been taking Juice Plus since Aug 25 , 2015. It's not easy living our lives the way we do Fred ! We are not quintessential by any means and I'm proud of it ! It hasn't come without critique. But it sure is fun . And. So what do I say to my critics ? Take a guess .

Selfish is not a bad word...

Sounds pretty awesome

Thank you, Fred, for the shout out but more important for your friendship and because you are one of the quirky, unique individuals who embodies these values and inspires others to do the same.
