Spring is a time new life is all around but often after many months without sunshine it takes a little prodding before we feel ready to bloom ourselves.  Here is my little gift to you, 5 truths on Friday which will hopefully be uplifting and speak to you in some way!Inspiration - The Queen in Between Blog

It’s true!  Even on those days when you have yelled at the kids, secretly cursed the husband or made a huge error at work, you are still somebody’s favorite person!  I’m not going to lie, some days it may only be your mom or your dog but the point is there is always someone who thinks you are the best even at your worst.  FIND YOUR PERSON every day.

We get caught up in comparing ourselves to others and feel like giving up.  We tell ourselves there is no way we could ever “have it all” like someone else.  Well guess what?  You CAN have it ALL! First you will have to take a good hard look and define what is YOUR all.  For me, when I really get in the dumps thinking I will never have it all, I think of my family and friends and realize I already do!  If every thing else was stripped away I have the people I want to do life with and I have my faith and that is my all!

Sometimes we spend so much time fighting growing older that I swear a few brain cells disappear.  For me this looks like accepting myself for who I am and others for who they are.  It means I am wise enough to know I own my life!  Nothing from my past can affect my future or prevent me from absorbing the present unless I allow it to.

It’s true!  There truly is enough out there for everyone to be a success but even the most talented individuals will never reach full potential without hard work.

Yes, your body will tell you when it does or doesn’t like physical exercise but it will also give you so many more signs.  Finding the ultimate water intake to keep your body running efficiently and enough sleep to operate effectively is such a huge part of our physical well being and your already equipped with a body to tell you what you need!  When you listen you will be surprised at how fast the stress is relieved, skin is refreshed and your overall health improves.

Do you have a favorite mantra you live by daily?  These are some of the reminders I give myself but I would love to hear yours!

  1. I always try to remind myself that comparison is the thief of joy but I’d have to say my mantra really is just to simply say “Jesus” several times to myself and that ALWAYS gets me in check! Have a fabulous weekend!

  2. Love the “You are always someones favorite!!” That makes me smile…trying to think who I’m a favorite of…

  3. I loved Tammy Faye on that WB reality show years ago – The Surreal Life- so I had looked her up and found a quote that I like to think about often, “You can’t go forward looking in the rearview mirror…” Ok, now yes you actually can (it’d be unsafe not to when driving!) but we definitely have to keep our eyes on what’s ahead instead of dwelling so much on the past. Keep it moving, people! Have a great weekend!

  4. You are always someone’s favorite person – that’s a great way to think of it!!! Definitely going to remember that when I feel like I am struggling!

  5. Oh my gosh Shelly, I love all of this. You are one smart, insightful cookie!!! I love all your graphics too…I think I’m secretly a graphic junkie. Thanks for the words of wisdom and inspiration! XOXO Have a great weekend!

    1. Ha! I don’t know about smart Lisa….maybe too many bad choices and challenges for growth along the way to lead me to search for the positive. I’m a graphic junkie too…sometimes the post is knocked out in a 1/4 of the time it takes me to decide on a graphic!! Hope you are having a super weekend.
