Integrity

There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.  

~French Proverb

Integrity
Throughout your life you will come upon times where people will tug on your integrity and values. It is during these difficult times that you must remember to remain true to who you are, despite what happening all around you. Is that difficult?  Heck yeah it is.  Make no joke about it, standing up for what you think is right is never easy. But neither is letting go of what you know is the right thing to do, even when it's not popular or when you are being asked to do otherwise from people who have great influence over you.  You are more than just someone who can be manipulated though and as long as you stay true to the path that your feelings and gut are taking down, you will create a stronger foundation that cannot be taken away.

Intimidation

“There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.” 
― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

Intimidation
There will be times in your life (like right now maybe) that someone or some situation is trying to gain power over you, control you and intimidate you.  As nervous as you may get, don't let that ever deter you from speaking or living your truth.  You are meant to be heard and you are meant to take up space on this planet.  While others try and squash you like a bug; duck, roll and jump up swinging!  Take charge of your life, your situations and don't ever settle for someone else's version of your own personal truth.  Look them right in the eye and say, "What I say matters.  Who I am matters.  What I think matters. And don't you forget it!"

Uncomfortable

From now on, I'll connect the dots my own way.  

~Bill Watterson, Calvin & Hobbes

Uncomfortable
Do you ever feel uncomfortable or out of place all of the time?  Do you feel like no matter where you go, you just don't quite fit it?  Even when you move to a new environment, that feeling stays with you or even gets heightened.  You try and surround yourself with people and things to "fix" that feeling that you have.  Yet you find that you just feel out of sorts!  Well maybe that's because you are uncomfortable within which in turn makes you uncomfortable outside.  So what truth are you not living?  What passion are you not pursuing?  What screenplay are you not writing?  What classes are you not taking?  What promotion are you not going after? Being uncomfortable means that you are not connecting your soul to your body or the outside world.  It's now time to do so!  Go within, find your truth and start living the life you were meant to!
