Friend Makin' Monday
So this is something Kasey's hosting over on her blog to help us get to know one another. This week's question is
What's The Best Advice Someone Has Ever Given You?
Immediately what popped into my head was, "Fake it till you make it." This was told to me over and over again by one of my teachers/mentors at a boarding school I went to for part of my sophomore year of high school. I was having a really rough time at school, missing my family, being really sick and going through the incredible stresses of life there.
So everyday when I'd see her she'd remind me, "Fake it till you make it." She really made me realize that no matter how bad things get, sitting and sulking will do you no good. You have to use your inner strength to pull you through and in time you'll forget that you're just faking it.
That has had a huge impact on my life and it still one of my mantras today.

What great advice! I'll need to keep that in mind to pass on to my kids as they get older - very important for kids, I'd think, and for myself as well. Glad I stopped by!
This is definitely good advice. I might have to say this one for the next couple of weeks....
I love this advice..I will most def. use it!! Thanks!
One of my college professors used to tell me that too. It really does help to just put on your game face and keep going no matter what. One day you'll wake up and realize that you're no longer "faking it", but really feeling it. Great advice!
Hope you have a happy Monday!
JennyKate said it well: A game face is a good thing. Good advice!
That's good and super true! Glad you joined us! Hope you're having a great Monday!
For all that I am going through right now, it is such good advice. I also see it that no one needs to see what is really going on. Great advice!!!
Great advice! Eventually you will come to realize that it's not that bad!
Glad you joined in the fun. Hope you have a great week!

Great advice! I may use that in the future. If we tell ourself a lie enough we begin to believe it is truth. In this case it will benefit us!
Nice to meet you! Have a happy Monday!
Monday mornings are definitely my "fake it til you make it" times. I have found that if I say positive things and put on my smile, the rest of me catches up quite quickly!
Hi There! So nice to meet you! That is great advice. I think if we go into a situation thinking that things are going to be great, even if we aren't sure, we can make that happen by having a positive attitude. Thanks for the advice!

Stopping in from SITS and I just have to say, that I LOVE that saying. It reminds of me of a teacher of mine that told everyone to smile - it's contagious. I still go out and about, running my errands with a smile on my face. It always makes me happy to see that others are earnest to smile back!
Thanks for the get well for Lexlee. I think she's starting to feel better! You are adorable!
Have a great night!
