You Attract What You Are, Not What You Want

You attract what you are not what you want. If you want to be great, then be great.

Now, I have daily quotes come through my phone every day and eventually they become a bit of a blah. But this one really resonated with me. "Birds of a feather, flock together." You are more likely going to hang out with someone who you can relate to, who is similar to you. So, therefore, if you're confident, then you'll attract those who are more likely confident.

And that is so true.

It's unbelievable how true that is. Yes, you'll have friends who may be different from you, but mainly you're friends with them because they're relatable. If they weren't, then it would be so hard to hold a conversation. You want respect, then respect others first and you'll get that in return.

What you put out is what you get back.

Not only is it what you put out, but if you demand respect and you don't respect the people around you no one is going to want to respect you.

You don't deserve it. Period.

Think about everyone in your life and everyone who has left your life because you changed. The people you hang out with begin to change, because you became different. You grew and with that, they grew with you. They saw the change in you, whether good or bad, and they liked it and began to change along with you.

You grew together.

You want to be YouTuber? Then be a YouTuber, and you will begin to attract people who are interested in what you're doing. You want to be kind and caring, then you will begin to attract those who will care for you. People who surround you are somewhat your creations if you think about it. You influence them as they do you. Be successful and you will attract more success.

You attract what you are.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
