Project 30 Days of Inspire: Days 5 & 6
I totally forgot to put an Inspire post up yesterday. Sorry, Unikke. I'm making up for it today though because I'm putting two quotes up and, in honor of the first day of spring *fist pump* (beautiful days need to come now), they are flower-based quotes. 

Day 5: "You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses." Isn't that a beautiful way of saying-- Hey, either you can focus on the good things in life or you can focus on the rotten things. I know that, especially for me, it can be so easy to only see all the things that are going wrong.

Thorns hurt. They're ugly. But the pain goes away, the wounds heal. Focus on the roses in your life and the world will seem like a much better place, vibrant and colorful.

Day 6: "Don't wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul." Don't let anyone else define you. Don't wait for other people to make decisions for you, or if you have people trying to force you into a decision, tell them to lay off and back off. You need to make your own decisions. I'm not talking about being rebellious and rude towards relatives (ahem, parents). Be firm though, because sometimes it's hard for them to realize that you are growing up.

Point being-- you need to make yourself. Don't let other people make you. Plant your own garden, decorate your own soul. After all, you're the one who needs to live with yourself for your whole life.
