You Are What You Think You Are

I need to be reminded of this. Like, every five minutes or so.


I wonder if we can do something about it - you know how they say men think about sex every seven minutes or thirty seconds or whatever... Maybe we women could train ourselves so that every time we see a man (or a woman, or a dog, or an ad of some kind, etc...) we automatically think: "You know, I really look pretty good today. The End." or "I've got a terrific smile. I'll try it out on him/her/the dog." or "Perfect is overrated. I'm doing just fine with FABULOUS." Just imagine all the positive reinforcement we'd be getting all day long... and think about what it would be like if we knew most/all of the women we were interacting with all day long were also getting that positive reinforcement.

Seriously. Go read that column again. And then comment with your suggestions here!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true! That article hit the nail on the head! I am looking forward to Womens Conference tonight to have that yearly reminder (and kick-in-the-pants if you will) of who we really are and what we really can accomplish! "I feel good, I feel great, I feel wonderful!" As good old "What About Bob" would say!

"Perfect is overrated. I'm doing just fine with FABULOUS." Awesome.

I don't have suggestions, but I do think that article is wonderful! And I'm going to make that line, "Perfect is overrated. I'm doing just fine with FABULOUS" my mantra for at least a week. LOVE IT!

And really, we would all do much better to send out that confident vibe. Confidence is attractive.
