Sometimes life serves you pure shit.

But that does not mean that YOU are shit. It means you now have to deal with shit.

It says something about life. Not about you. So, don’t let that define you.

You are still awesome.

Feel your feelings but let this be your reminder that you are still and totally awesome.

You are the best. You are beautiful. You are accomplished. People envy you. People look up to you. You kick ass.

There are people who love you lots. Just because shit has appeared does not mean you can’t be happy knowing that you are still really awesome.

You can always, always choose to be awesome and do awesome things.

Just as an example-  When I went to Antarctica (which was really awesome) I was going through the worst shit of my life but that couldn’t stop me from doing and being awesome.

It was a time of professional highlights and personal rock bottom. And the thing about rock bottom is that you are usually alone in it.

When you are down at the bottom of that parabola there is no one that quite gets it.

At that point is where it really pays off to be a decent human being.

Because no matter what, you know that you are still great. Nothing can change that.

You have YOURSELF for company and that’s FINE.

You have to deal with the shit and pick yourself up from the bottom with all the strength in your core. Literally and figuratively.

(I am all for building your core strength – it really comes in handy! Look at this person in the pic above, my god!)

So when shit is served deal with it while knowing that not only can you deal with it you might even be better for it.

(In case there is any room left for improvement that is…  🙂 )

Because, again, you are perfect. No amount of shit can make you less so. You got this. Let’s deal with shit together.

Merry Christmas!
