Kiku Collins: New Blog

Have you ever noticed that there are times when people get so sucked into improving themselves that they focus on all that needs to be improved? And that brings them down.  "I need to be/do/think better..."

What about everything you do well? What about what makes you smile? Do you like the smell of apple pie baking? It's not something you need to improve, it's something for pure enjoyment! Do you like to dance to old Sinatra on the Victrola when nobody is looking? Do you like to play makeup and do crazy things with glitter to your face? Do you like to read a book with the windows wide open, the sounds of nature surrounding you, the breeze on your face?

We all have things we need to do better, or would like to do better.  Improve, always, but never forget what you do well, what you enjoy, what makes you smile.  When we focus on improving and winning, we forget sometimes to enjoy life, our loved ones, and just being.

Be.  Skip down the street. Make a root beer float. Have breakfast for dinner. And enjoy your loved ones, time is precious and so are we.
