Everyone Deserves to Be Sexy and Successful

[MapleFairy]

I used to be worried about fashion. I used to procrastinate on chores and not do anything that might move me forward. I used to be a lot more worried about what people would think of me than focusing on making my future better than my present. I used to believe that no matter where I was, I would never be where I wanted to be. That was two weeks ago. But last Friday?

Well, then I began reading this book (a whole chapter!*)

7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens

All that changed. There were other factors involved, of course...

A couple of good friends who were younger yet oddly more mature than me, and totally completely accepting of me.

A rich lady I met in my neighborhood, who I actually carried on a conversation with (because I was acting more mature via book) and who I might befriend, which might turn out to be not just a friendship but business opportunity. I’ll take either :)

An open mind

Some fun facebook groups a joined, via a complete stranger/ now friend who supported me in my decision to break away from my parent’s religious beliefs and pursue my own spiritual path.

Because of those facebook groups, I have met many friends and been given the opportunity to participate in an trade-group (Which, if anyone is interested, I will happily send the link for! You get to make crafts or art and trade it for somebody else’s! It’s so fun! Just make sure your craft is nature-inspired, and vegan or vegetarian. Ex: coconut-sugar scrub, butterfly doodle artwork, etc. would do fine.)

Being successful and sexy is not about being cheap or stuckup; it’s about being confident and working hard. It’s about taking care of yourself and reaching out to others. And everyone deserves that!

*You can read 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens for free online, for free at the library, or after purchase on amazon.

*If you wish to know how i'm doing or if i've achieved my goals, yay for accountability! Feel free to politely check-in on my progress via personal messaging system and i may get back to you when i'm not busy

* I may also be posting a myTake on what it means to push through even though it feels like hell, something i've recently learned as a result of a lost job and the hardships of finding a new one right before summer. So if you learned something from this post, stay tuned <3

*In case you're wondering if i ever read more than one chapter; I reread chapter one and am now into chapter three, more to come!

No not everybody. And certainly not everyone has the means to even achieve it. I dunno, to me it's a truism.

Self acceptance and open mindedness are good ingredients to go with 'sexy' and 'successful'
