A FRIDAY THOUGHT: BE THE TYPE OF PERSON

I stumbled across this quote a few days ago and it hit me straight in the heart. Isn’t it powerful? Be the type of person you want to meet. It’s so simple.

I spent the past few days coming back to this thought and I made a mental (now written) list of qualities the person I want to meet would have:

  • an ability to see the positive in the everyday
  • passion
  • dedication
  • the integrity to follow through with promises made, no matter the size
  • a smiling face

I am making a conscience effort to be more like this, to be more like the person I would like to meet, more like the friend I would like to have. But this theory, this idea can be applied to so many different relationships in our lives too. Be the type of partner you want to have. Be the type of daughter you want to have. Be the type of employee you want to manage. It could go on and on, and the goodness could just spread like wildfire. Oh how I love the joy of feeling inspired.

Do you like this quote? Does it make you think any differently about the type of person you are?

if you’re lucky enough to be inspired to be better, you’re lucky enough

 

 

HOW SWEET IT IS

{me, brittanie, johanna, kelly & jessica at our last dinner together in san diego}

it’s easy to be best friends with people you grew up with. you know the ins and outs of who you each are. you know the history, you know the family, and you know the details of your oldest best friends’ lives.

but the thing is, sometimes you meet friends who just fit into your life. it doesn’t matter that they don’t know the first boy you kissed and it doesn’t matter that they don’t know your high school english teacher. it doesn’t matter because sometimes friendship isn’t about how long you have known someone. sometimes friendship is just about how much you enjoy being with someone. sometimes friendship is about learning about someone’s first kiss and high school english teacher and wanting to learn more.

and see those ladies pictured above? it’s been exactly one month since we GRADUATED together and i already miss them all something fierce. i’ve only known these sassy gals for a few years. and yet i love them just the same. how sweet it is to have friends like these.

if you’re lucky enough to make good friends in college, you’re lucky enough
