Your Everyday Girl

Today is a good day to choose love. Whether it rains, pours, or is overcast, choose kindness. If you feel broken, if you feel pain, or if you feel lost, choose you. Choose you first. The heart is capable of pushing you forward; the mind is capable of holding you back.

Then don’t forget to say hello to a neighbor; they don’t always have good days, too. Choose to compliment a friend; they want to feel loved, too. Choose to support a small business; they have hard days, too.

Today is a good day to remember that we are human; mistakes can be made. Remember to give love to those who stand by you on your worst days, and remember that apologizing is the first step. Doing better means taking accountability for our actions.

Choose to work through conflict; there is rarely ever a need to go to battle. What’s beautiful about our minds is that we can connect it all to words.

Today is a good day to remember that we are always growing. We feel left behind when we compare the past to the present. You are here, you are loved, and you have every opportunity to keep trying. Don’t stay stuck in the past; take hold of its lessons, but please keep growing.

Choose understanding. In a world full of ignorance, misinformation, and opinion, choose to listen wisely before you say something you may not be able to take back. Choose your words well.

Today is a good day to remember that knowledge is power. Don’t take my word for it. Read a book, read another, and another after that. Remain open minded. The mind is like a book, if you don’t open it up, then you’ll never learn something new.

What does today look like for you?

Your everyday girl,
