Your Originality is Sexy..Relationship-with-Self June Newsletter
June 19, 2010
My Loving Tip for You...Honor Your Originality!
My husband says I'm stubborn, yet I consider myself independent and original. But, I've not always considered myself that way. Actually, I believe I've spent my entire adolescent and young adult life trying to conform into what everyone else thought I should be. I've always thought I had to be outgoing to be liked and that being shy was "not cool." Or I had to have perfect teeth, a loving family, and the latest trends to fit into society.
Now that I've become more comfortable with myself, I've learned to appreciate the fact that I'm naturally a shy person, that my teeth have personality, my family will never be perfect, and the latest trends will never define who I am. And I've learned that as you become wiser, you'll learn to follow your intuition, trusting that you'll be led into the direction of honor and integrity.
Additionally, you'll find that other people's opinions and perceptions are important, but when the night falls and you're lying in bed engrossed in your own personal thoughts and feelings, you'll know that once it comes down to it..your way of viewing the world is what crystallizes your uniqueness and originality, not someone else's opinion of you. And when you feel confident with your unique self, you'll make the world a better place!
So, when you're questioning whether or not you should be a certain way, ask yourself.. Will this decision respect my originality or will this be a conforming decision? Either way, it's your choice!
All my best,
Brandy Shirley, M.A.

Father's Day Humor
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." Mark Twain"In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family's head, he was a success. Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that's just the vacation home." www.indobase.com
"In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business. Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and set the VCR." www.indobase.com
Inspirational Quotes
"If you plan on being anything less than you are capable of being, you will probably be unhappy all the days of your life." Abraham Maslow"Always be the first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else." Judy Garland
