Rants & Raves

...First I want you to answer a few questions, or else. Take a look at the following quiz and tell me how you really feel about yourself. Be honest or I'll get you.

... 1. Your hair reminds you of
... a. Andie McDowell's
... b. Don King's

... 2. Your wardrobe looks like you bought it at
... a. The Gap
... b. The Generation Gap

... 3. You would be most likely to snare a date with
... a. George Clooney
... b. Weird Al

... 4. When you imagine yourself as a famous movie star, you see
... a. Kim Bassinger
... b. Bullwinkle

... 5. When Halloween comes around, you're planning to dress like
... a. An angel
... b. A tuba

... 6. If you were a TV star, you would be best at portraying
... a. Buffy
... b. The Vampire

... 7. If you had to describe your body-type in one word, it'd be
... a. Curvy
... b. That word my mother wouldn't let me say
...
... 8. Your must-haves for summer include
... a. A hot new bathing suit
... b. Your head examined

... Okay, okay, that's enough. I'll bet you checked off all the crappy choices, right? Well, I don't think you were being honest at all. That isn't really how you feel about you, now is it? That's how you think others see you, because you're always measuring yourself against someone else!

... Four words of advice: Do. Not. Go. There. Instead, give a listen to the following suggestion: "Don't underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special."

... That came from the CEO of Coca Cola, and he went on to say, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. That's why we call it the present!

... Cool, huh? Correct, too. So don't waste another minute of that gift being down on you. Don't just see yourself, be yourself! And if you don't start this minute, I'm going to make you take another quiz! And it's going to be even dumber (if that's possible)!
...
...Love ya (if you promise to love yourself),

... Shirl
