Sometimes, you meet someone and without them even realizing it, they constantly inspire you to be a better person. I love special people like this. They are truly amazing and accomplish wonderful things, and somehow, they do it all without making you feel like a horrible person or guilty for not doing all the stuff they do. Instead, their awesomeness just rubs off on you like fairy dust. You leave their presence a better person, and ready to become an amazing person just like them.
These kinds of people are my favorite. They give me a reason to keep on chuggin'. And I am glad that I associate with some of them. It is a great blessing.

WHAT DO YOU DESERVE?
As an awesome human being, what do you truly deserve?
Today, much like any other day, I found myself burdened down with things to do and not enough energy to do them, yet alone think about them. The thought popped into my head, "I wish I could just sit and watch tv. I deserve it."
Something in my mind came alive as if it wanted to strangle the thought- "You deserve it? You deserve to put off responsibilities? education? work? etc? Just so you can watch Gilmore Girls?"
I was a bit shocked that my mind could respond to itself so quickly. But the conversation I had inside my head was illuminating. If I am a truly phenomenal being, then it's not hours of television I deserve. I deserve to work hard and become a better person. I deserve to become like God. I deserve to be exalted. And I think it will be a bit difficult to be
Now, this does NOT mean that we shouldn't ever watch movies, tv, or be entertained. We need to to care of our bodies, and relaxation is an important part of self-care. But today, I learned to never say, "I deserve to watch tv." Because I'm awesome. And I deserve to become more awesome.
Just a thought.
