To My Pillars

I was going through Pinterest looking for motivation quotes for my inspiration poster that's going on the inside of my front door. It's got a few pictures of me on there showcasing my athletic greatness and a few quotes.
Here's a few:

Yesterday I came across this one:

The last two days the words have been repeating in my head "Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me." It makes me feel pretty bad ass, so I'm embracing it. Who knew Dr. Seuss was so tough? So I just bought his book the quote comes from on kindle (I Had Trouble Getting In To Solla Sollew). I don't remember ever having read it as a child and it seems like a good one. I'll read it tonight in bed.

Anyway, I was browsing through the inspirational quotes on Pinterest and continually coming across quotes such as "When they say you can't, then you have to." or "Those who say 'you can't' or 'you won't' are probably scared that you will". 

And then it dawned on me. Either people quit telling me I can't, never will, am not, will never be, etc....or I just stopped hearing it. I think surrounding myself with the right people has made all the difference. The people who believe I'm awesome, smart, funny, remarkable. The person who told me "Don't be ordinary". The people who tell me I kick ass. And that amazing girl who told me I am not the person I see myself as when I feel insecure, weak, not enough. Those are the people who have made all the difference in the world. 

You know who you are. You are my family and friends that I surround myself with and are my support structure. You are all amazing.

Rock on.
