Back in June, I wrote about a quote Justin had shown me and I wondered what it might mean. You helpfully provided some interesting answers and gave me plenty to think about. I've got another quote from Justin today.
This one is a little easier to grasp than the last quote. To me, it’s a reminder that real confidence and self-worth come from within—not from other people’s approval. Justin has been dealing with some challenges at work lately, and he said starting each day with this thought has actually helped him stay grounded. Ryan has some things going on this week, so I've passed it along to him.
I've found it's helping me, too—at least a little. I may not be able to control the world burning around me, but I can choose to act like a thoughtful, rational, moral, and decent human who still gives a damn. Nugget, of course, always carries herself like royalty, so this regal photo felt like the perfect companion to the quote.
I hope your week is off to a strong start—and may you keep striding through it like the absolute queen you are. 👑
Nugget looks very regal indeed! A good reminder to put our proverbial crown on (although I think Vivi likes to wear her actual tiara most days... I don't have one to put on!) and stride purposefully into the day! I especially love the second portion of that quote... "or you don't care who the king is" most fitting for the shite show we have going on here.
ReplyDeleteI feel like the proper response to this has to be "Yass, Queen!" I think we could all take a note from our pets (especially cats -- I think they get it more than dogs) and go out into the world with confidence that we are worthy.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are all worthy! But it is hard to remember when you feel like the hammer may come down any day -LOL. I think this is the perfect quote to remind all of us that we are enough, every day. Thank you, Bonny, and thank you Justin. Sally forth!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quote Bonny - thanks for sharing it. And thanks for the Nugget picture - she is adorable!
