Occasional Big Girl Panties.

I've been experiencing "End of the Semester Blues" a little differently this year.

I've been looking for every excuse to not do well.

"My family really needs my help right now."  (Yea, they're fine.)

"I haven't been feeling well lately"  (It's cause you've been eating crap and not excising.)

"I have so much preparation to do for this summer." (Yes, you do, but you have to finish school in order to get there anyways.)

I have really great excuses for everything.

You guys! Why do I not want to do well?

Why do I keep sabotaging myself, so I don't do well?

I mean if I do well...then I always have to do well...

I mess up a lot.

It's so haaaaard.

I am so whiny.

Someone called me on that this week.

I whine alot.

Instead of just putting on my big girl pants and getting stuff done.

I whine.

Why can't life be like this?

Why does it have to happen like that?

I DON'T KNOW KAYLA JUST DO IT.

Excuses are a really bad habit.

I don't have to be mean to myself I just have to be tough and get it done.

I have to constantly remind myself that I am worth this. I have to remind myself that life keeps moving and it's going to move on whether or not I am keeping up.

I can live life the way God wanted me to, or I can just skate by.

Either way, God loves me and is going to do something with my life, maybe.

But when I die, I want to die with people saying "she knew how to live."

See I was "chosen before the creation of the world to be holy and without fault." (Ephs 1:4)

And life takes it's toll and we make decisions that happen against that promise.

And we have to remind ourselves and others of our true identity.

I love Beyonce's song Flawless.

"I woke up like this, flawless."

I've noticed some girls wearing shirts that say "There is no way in hell you woke up like that."

Now I understand their sentiment, I mean, when I actually wake up, I looke like a dry slobbered mess.

But what those girls wearing those shirts don't understand is Beyonce's sentiment.

You were born to do amazing things.

Even when you don't believe in you.

You were born to wake up, kick some tail, take some names, and live an extraordinary life.

Also, you were born flawless.

You were made exactly the way you were supposed to be.

Keep reminding your self that!

Keep reminding others that they "woke up like that!"

Don't let people forget!

Don't be the reason people forget!

Also, let's stop making excuses. And making our selves forget.

No more whining.

No more excuses.

No more self sabotage. 

Put your big girl panties on!

Or you know you big boy boxers!

(I don't discriminate)
