30 Days Of Truth- Day 2

Day 2: Something you love about yourself.

A few years ago this would have been really tough for me.  I still find it a little tough even though I have come to terms who I am and what I do love about who I am.  I always found it hard to determine what it was about myself I loved, without thinking about what others love about me.  How does one learn to perceive themselves without the perceptions of others getting in the way?

Things I love about myself:

• I am resilient.  I am strong.  I have bounced back from so much in my life.  I am able to self-reflect and learn from my mistakes.
• I have a work ethic that is hard to come by; many employers are missing out on a great person simply because I have yet to earn my degree.  That paper says nothing about who I am as a person.
• I am capable of anything once I put my mind to it.
• I am loyal to a fault.  But I wouldn’t have it any other way.  I like that my friends/family know they can count on me.
• I love to have a good time.  Having fun is fun 🙂
• I love that I am unafraid of saying what I think.  I will stick up for myself or others even against the crowd.
• I love that in crisis, I can usually pull myself and others together.
• I will stick to my convictions even if they get me in trouble.  I will never apologize for my morals or beliefs.
• I love that I am willing to face most of my fears but I don’t beat myself up over the ones I am not willing to face.
• I love my sense of humor.  I think my ability to laugh at myself if one of my better traits.
• I love that I am not afraid to get in a car and just drive.  I love that I am okay traveling alone but can travel well with others too.
• I love that, even though I might be a perfectionist, a little bit anal and slightly obsessive-compulsive, I have learned to embrace those things as a part of who I am.
• I love that I was able to easily write this list!

And a few materialistic things:

• I love my blue eyes.
• I love how my butt looks in jeans. 
• I have GREAT hair! 
• I love my scars- they are little reminders of where I have been and experiences I have had.
• I love that I can be girly but prefer to be in jeans and a t-shirt.

What do you love about you?
