Self-doubt grows into self defeat.

The time spent watching and comparing yourself to others is time that could be spent developing your skills, perfecting your craft, creating your visions of the future…”

]]> http://forcoloredgurls.com/2009/07/words-to-live-by-july-3/feed/ 0 Some inspiration, perhaps http://forcoloredgurls.com/2009/06/some-inspiration-perhaps/ http://forcoloredgurls.com/2009/06/some-inspiration-perhaps/#comments Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:30:49 +0000 Jamie Fleming http://forcoloredgurls.wordpress.com/?p=1100 Yesterday, I was feeling kind of…eh. So, I decided I should read one of the books I turn to for inspiration; I picked up Get Yours…by Amy Dubois Barnett.

When I read books, I always highlight things that I think are important and that I should remember. As I was reading yesterday, I found other things I overlooked the first [or second, or third time reading it]…anyway, I, of course, decided to share [some] with you all:

The following is Dubois’s personal philosophy- she calls them seven simple rules that ultimately saved her life:

  1. Embrace fear as growth
  2. Be true to yourself.
  3. Realize your value and demand the best.
  4. Put into the universe what you want to get back.
  5. Have integrity.
  6. Stay independent.
  7. Do something meaningful everyday.

She goes on to say she’s developed what she calls the ‘get yours’ school of thought. This is what she means:

“Get the absolute most out of this life that you possibly can. Figure out what your real passions are and who you want to be- and stay true to that always. Push yourself toward your best life every single day in every single area- health, career, family, friends and relationships. Commit to your dreams: Know that realizing them won’t be easy, but that the satisfaction you will feel after having worked toward something important will be as fulfilling as achieving the goal. And understand that energy is real and the universe is more sensitive than you think. Be generous and patient and kind-not only because it’s your responsibility as a citizen of the world, but because you will receive tenfold what you give in return.”

Although I’ve been doing some of these, I’m going to try to do all of them so I can live my best life. What about you?
