Never Assume

So, this morning I decided to work out at the gym. I have not been to the gym in ages (I've been busy enjoying running outside, way more entertaining than the gym). Anyways, my gym workout allowed me to watch Ellen. It was a re-run, but I still found some inspiration.

Whether you can't stand her, love her, or don't know who she is--Ellen's guest Bethenny Frankel gave some fabulous advice, that really hit home for me.

I believe I am very blessed. I have a wonderful family, amazing friends and an incredibly supportive boyfriend. They only part of my life that I feel discouraged, upset, and even sometimes embarrassed about is my professional life.

I am absolutely determined to be a teacher, unfortunately the job market has stalled this dream of mine.

Anyways, enough of my rambling. It's at the end of the video, so if you aren't interested in online dating advice, or love advice skip ahead.

Bethenny gives great advice in saying, "Don't ever assume anyone is better than you."

I think in my post undergrad life I have lost some confidence and as a result, I have started to assume just that.

It's time to stop.

Remember your strengths
Stay focused on your goals
Never ASSUME someone is better than YOU
Never ASSUME someone is smarter than YOU
Never ASSUME someone's life is more glamourous than yours
Remember who YOU are. Remember what YOU believe is important in life.
Remember that everyone's journey is different.
NEVER, EVER let anyone make you forget who you are and what you are capable of doing.



Ok...wow. Maybe I am a little TOO inspired by this 10 second clip of advice :)
