The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning to work on becoming yourself.


I may not know all the answers, but I know when to admit that I'm wrong

I may not be great with articulating thoughts, but I know how much power words hold

I may not be competitive, but I never give up

I may not may not be making lots of money, but I know what's truly valuable

I may not be confrontational, but I know when to stand up for myself

I may not be fearless, but I'm courageous

I may not dress the part, but I love my role

I may not be funny, but I know when to laugh at myself

I may not be fashionable or trendy, but I'm absolutely comfortable and confident in my own skin

I may not know all the tricks and strategies, but I give all of myself

I may not have been there, but I have an imagination like you wouldn't believe

I may not do everything on my own, but am strong and independent

I may not make all the best choices, but I'll never stop growing

I may not have been around for very long, but I've got a million stories to tell

I may not be the best soccer player, cyclist, rock climber, skier, or snowboarder, but I know how to jump in the river, make snow angels, crunch leaves with my feet, and love every second of being outdoors

I may not always be serious, but I've got a genuine smile

I may not have accomplished or explored a lot of things, but I'm always willing to give it a try

I may not like bananas, but I'll eat one for my kid someday to show that mommy isn't a hypocrite

I may not be good with numbers, but I know how valuable time is

I may not eat many cookies, but I'll bake you a million if you like

I may not know much about wine, but I've got intrigue and some tastes buds that like to learn

I may not be sophisticated, but I know when to be classy

I may not have a lot of experience, but I know how to truly love

I may not have met all my own expectations, but I know myself

I may not have everything planned out, but I've got grit, fire, and determination
