I am a mantra type of person. Almost like saying a prayer it's soothing to have something to latch on to. Whenever I'm walking to my car at night or paranoid there's a murderer in my house I repeat Psalm 23:4. When I become overwhelmed or anxious I constantly tell myself to breathe in, and breathe out. So, I'm always looking for new mantras to add to my repertoire. Recently the internet has become obsessed with pineapples. Why? I have no idea, but they are some wonderful fruit. Along with the obsession came a new mantra I latched on to.

Stand Tall.

Wear a Crown.

Be Sweet.

I've dubbed it the pineapple philosophy. Because we totally live in a generation where I've resulted to taking advice from a piece of yellow fruit. But, all joking aside I've decided that the pineapple philosophy is a daily mantra to take up.

Stand Tall

There are days when you feel small, very small. Like the weight of the world is crushing you. When people in your life hurt you, belittle you, push you to the side, or don't take time for you. That is when you have to tell yourself to stand tall like the pineapple. Know you stand among a bunch of other vibrant, delicious fruits but you stand the tallest and that you are special and unique in your own way. Be confident in who you are, stand tall.

Wear a Crown

You are a queen, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise and KNOW YOUR WORTH. I'll say it again because it's important. Know your worth. Because if you are continually putting yourself down, thinking little of yourself, and believing you don't deserve good things then what are others suppose to think of you? You wear your crown, you let the world know you deserve to be treated like the queen pineapple you are. Wear that crown girl.

Be Sweet

Lastly, if you are going to stand tall and wear a crown like you deserve then be a kind person on the inside. Act, speak, and live worthy of that crown. Be someone who stands tall because they stand out. Be sweet, be a good and kind person. Love people and show them we all have our own inner pineapple. Be sweet.

Take the pineapple philosophy and run with it, maybe you'll see just how good being a pineapple can be. The internet may have had it right for once with their pineapple obsession. Stand tall. Wear a crown. Be sweet.
