OK, folks—word of the day? OWNERSHIP. If you excel at something, ain’t no shame in letting the WORLD know about it. I’m sick of people shooting down my compliments when I tell ‘em how great they do, how much they’ve grown, how amazing they are; or when people criticize me for tellin’ ‘em all the good I’ve got to offer. If you’re a rock star at something, chances are, YOU WORK HARD AT IT. Step up! Take your laurels and wave ‘em around! “HELL YEAH! I BUSTED MY REAR FOR *YEARS* TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT I DO AS WELL AS I DO IT!” It’s a valuable lesson that the world needs to hear. HARD WORK PAYS OFF. There may be others out there that are better, but that doesn’t mean that you aren’t kickin’ ass. So get out there and stinkin’ ACT like it. Use your words and own your awesome. Love y’all.
