What I Know For Sure

If you don’t know Mama Kat, you should.  She comes up with the most incredible weekly writing prompts that you will find on the Internet.  I read them every week but I always feel like I’m not a good enough writer to tackle many of them.  That’s my own insecurity getting in the way, I know.

This week, however, one of her prompts struck a cord.  You know how Oprah has a section of her magazine titled, “What I Know For Sure” ?  Well, that was one of this week’s writing topics.  I may not know a lot, but what I do know is myself… and the things “I” know for sure.  Here they are.

1. That being true to who you are is the only way you can be truly happy.

2. That if people don’t accept you the way you are, warts and all, then maybe they weren’t meant to be a part of your life.

3. People who always talk bad about others are trying to make up for their own faults and insecurities.

4. Learn from your mistakes.  Don’t make the same one twice.

5. Sometimes you just have to wait a little longer than most for the good stuff to happen.

6. If you dream it, draw it, write it, believe it… “it” will come.

7. Step out of your comfort zone every once in a while.  You may surprise yourself.

8. You have talents you haven’t even begun to discover.

9. You’re never too old to start something new.

10. Hugs are highly underrated.
