2012 | Day 136: Will you fight or will you walk away?


MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

Your ORIGINALITY

Quote for Reflection: “♥ Your ORIGINALITY determines your PERSONALITY. Never "compromise" your IDENTITY by "FORGING" another's SIGNATURE ♥ What makes you UNIQUE is what makes you "MAGNIFIQUE!"...Gain "POPULARITY" with your "SINGULARITY"! ♥ DEMONSTRATE these qualities that make you GREAT without feeling the need to IMPERSONATE! There is no reason to be a “CLONE” when you are AMAZING on your “OWN”! ♥ Attempting to make another’s IMPRESSION your own is not very "impressive"...and is "regressive" to your personal DEVELOPMENT. To make a real "breakthrough", STAY TRUE to Y-O-U ♥ When you "PATTERN AFTER" another, you are creating a "HOLDING PATTERN" for yourself...You will never get AHEAD of the "competition" with REPETITION ♥ While it is okay to “FOLLOW SUIT” of another who is “wise”, make sure that you are ultimately “wearing” your own “size”. It is not easy trying to "FIT" into someone else's "SHOES", so CHOOSE to STAND FIRM in your own! ♥ Anyone can "PLAY A PART", but that means you are not "ACTING" from your HEART. "PRETENDING" to be someone YOU are NOT should never be a "goal", so always ASSUME the “role” that is deep within YOUR “SOUL” ♥ Your VISION of SUCCESS will not become "clearer" if you are using "smoke and a mirror". APING another is “monkey business”...Do not make the "goof" of a SPOOF or the "gimmick" of a MIMIC! ♥ You were BORN AN "ORIGINAL" and not meant to be "copied"...Keep it that way, until the day that you can fit in a Xerox "paper tray"! ♥ In order to ADVANCE, you must take a CHANCE...on YOURSELF! If you are told that you must CONFORM in order to optimally PERFORM...”BEG TO DIFFER”! ♥” – Lauren Christine Frahn
