Mental Richness

What happened to common sense and intelligent minds? We see such physically beautiful people who make poor decision choices. Broken friendships. Destructive relationships. Poor health choices. Bad investments. For what? To fit in and to catch the eyes of those they think matter. Is outer beauty enough? Will it make you happier? What would make you happier - a good lipstick choice or a good life choice? What would make you more successful - a good bar choice or a good career choice? What would take you where you want to go - a four minute high or a four year education? 

You can't control growing older but you can control growing wiser. Why waste our time focusing solely on outer beauty when we can create inner beauty too? Imagine what would happen if people took half of the effort they used on developing their physical appearance to educate themselves? Who would we be? How would the world be? 

Who you decide to be today - in this very moment - determines who you will become. Your physical appearance can draw others in but your state of mind is what keeps them there. So many individuals settle with who they are after these poor decisions are made. They don't challenge themselves to be bigger, better and brighter. 

Be bigger. Be the biggest and most vibrant personality in the room. Show others that happiness is a choice and success is a lifestyle. Be better. Be better than the person you were yesterday no matter how bad you think it is. Study the habits and lifestyle choices of those you admire. Be brighter. Let your mind and the way you carry yourself light up a room. Know that you deserve this and promise yourself you won't let yourself fall between the cracks. Be the best you I know you can be.
