Remember Who You Wanted To Be Giveaway!

I was driving.  Although I don't even really remember driving, more like pressing on the gas and holding the wheel but definitely not in control of the destination.  Not where I wanted to be going, not physically and not mentally.

There it was right in front of me and still I wanted to be anything but the person I wanted to remember.  Why?  Cause sometimes it's easier and hurts less up front.  Sometimes it gives you what you think you want immediately but not what ultimately you need.  You get to avoid the work, tears, sweat and pain but only for so long.  What was in front of me?  It was a Bumper Sticker and it read...

Remember Who You Wanted To Be!

Fast forward a whole 24 hrs later and I'm still in anguish.  Can't sleep for too long, can't eat and not looking forward really to anything that is, but wanting still what isn't.  I started to think about where I left off before this trouble took me from my path and I remembered that phrase...that bumper sticker.  In looking for some mindless release, I googled the words and what I found had me smiling.  It gave me hope.

What I found were the people before me that have blogged about the same thing and what it meant to them.  Groups and organizations promote this slogan, to inspire the people that join them and need them.
 Here is what I found, that inspired me too:

I found the very same bumper sticker and I'm going to stick it right there so that everyone that passes me ...everyone that finds themselves in the moment...like the ones I have been having and for those that it sticks in there head and doesn't ring true till another time when they draw on it from there unconscious. 

Me and you we can have a bumper sticker too.

The truth is we all stumble from where we were headed and we all need reminding of who we wanted to be.  Every minute, every hour and every day is a new chance to remember and start over.

When was the last time you asked someone if they could remind you who you are?  Do you remember who you wanted to be?  Have you asked yourself?  Who do you want to ask or remind and why?  What do you want to be but have forgotten how?


I remember that I want to be healthy, smiley, outgoing, a traveler, a learner, entrepreneur, engaged and happy mom, wife or partner, great lover, sexy, affectionate, dancer, successful, tenacious, smart, kind, giving and forgiving.  I want to stop beating myself up for falling off track and start right now…start being someone that remembers who I wanted to be.
