Be All that You Can Be (The Best You Can Be)

     I first heard this quote in an ad to promote joining the Army.  I'm not sure who first said it but I love this quote.  It seems many people want the life of their favorite celebrity but that's not who you are.  How can we be better than being the best of our self, we can't?  No one can be a better you than yourself.  It speaks to self worth, being proud of yourself in every way, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.  Life will be good if you can be yourself.

     Being proud of yourself will make you strong and independent.  If you are proud of yourself there will be no need for excuses.  We can't all be the brightest, best looking, smartest or talented but that doesn't mean we are less deserving or less valuable.  If fact we all have talents and abilities that may be suppressed or undiscovered but we may never find these if we are distracted by another's life or dreams.  

     Many people yearn for riches and fame, its not about fame and fortune, it's about self-satisfaction and being relevant.  There's nothing wrong with dreaming but make it your dream not someone else's.  Use other people's success to inspire you, not to mimic their life.  Being appreciative of your abilities and successes will help you be the best you can be.

     Be real and true to yourself not a fake replica of some celebrity that appears to have it all.  Who am I to say these things?  Have I achieved my dreams, well not in every way but my life is good and I'm not yet finished so I will never give up.  "Just Saying...."
