It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s intrinsic to want what we can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t or don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have.\u00c2\u00a0 Whether it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s putting on that extra layer of lipgloss for that special someone, or swearing to put down the tub of ice cream and start doing leg lunges so you remember that you still have muscle there; we all, naturally strive for an idealistic world.<\/p>\n
Wanting what you can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have makes life spicy, fun and spontaneous.<\/p>\n
Have you heard of the expression, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Stay true to yourself?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
How do you interpret that?<\/p>\n
You can infer that it means stick to your morals, judgments and beliefs, but I find holes in this ideology.\u00c2\u00a0 You may call me a skeptic, but I believe this phrase restricts change.<\/p>\n
I am a strong believer in representing the person who you want to be, but does that mean being the same person day in and day out?\u00c2\u00a0 What if you were to alter your personal character every so often, would you be called a poser or a fake?<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d like to argue not.<\/p>\n
While versatility has its boundaries, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be afraid to spice it up.\u00c2\u00a0 Wear those outrageous flower tights, raise your hand in a lecture of 200 people, and take someone into the stacks for an unforgettable kiss.\u00c2\u00a0 So what if these things are out of character.\u00c2\u00a0 Stretch your comfort zone a little.\u00c2\u00a0 If you want that desirable \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcother,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 work hard to be free from yourself in order to allow yourself to encounter your infinite possibilities.<\/p>\n
Let your artistic creationism shine everyday.\u00c2\u00a0 No painter painted the same scene over and over again, so why not start fresh with a new canvas from time to time?<\/p>\n
Enjoy life and the world around you!<\/p>\n
