Label.....................

Word of the Day...... Label....n.,....a descriptive or identifying word or phrase..... Let's put a label on your life. Now, take a minute and decide what you want it to me.....I'll wait. Okay, so now you've decided. Maybe you decided bossy, or motherly or kind or happy or intuitive or prideful or humble or competent or sane or serious, or whatever. What are you going to do about it? How are you going to make your chosen label stick to you? Are you going to print it off and use superglue and put it on your forehead? Or you going to the nearest tattoo artist and put it on you arm or ankle or foot? Are you going to use a sticky note so you might be able to change you label if and when you want? How are you going to make your own personal label, that you've chosen, stick to you? Really stick....because if it doesn't stick, then it's not your label. Next step, how long is it going to take you to live your label? How many bumps in the road? How many 'sharp curves ahead'? How many Control/Alt/Deletes? You're human so I'm pretty sure you'll have your fair share of all of the above. Nothing is perfected in a second, minute, hour or day. And you know what? I don't think it matters how long it takes you. I think what matters is that you're trying to be what you want to be. The old phrases....'If I Only Knew Then What I Know Now'......'Rome Wasn't Built In A Day'.......'It Takes One To Know One'.....these all apply to labels. Pick your own personal label and make it happen. Be the person proud of your label. After all, you picked it!!
