Billboard for your life

Throughout my adult life, I've been really aware of how different companies/products advertise and market - which is normal since I studied and currently work in marketing.

More recently, I've been more aware of how people advertise and market themselves - more importantly how I advertise and market myself.

The way I am - the way I act and talk and treat other people advertises and markets myself more than anything else. I am the billboard of my own life - I am a billboard for what is in my heart and soul - not just me but the energy that I exude. The clothes I wear, the things I watch and read, the activities I participate in that fill up my time - all of those things say more about me than anything else ever could.

There are only a few more days of November - the month of Thanksgiving. I could/should list the things I am thankful for for days and days. The thing that I am most thankful for is the ability to live the kind of life I want to live. I am so thankful that I have the ability to choose everyday - or every moment if I am going to be happy or sad, grateful or ungrateful. I get to choose if I am going to work hard or not, be honest and true or not, challenge myself or not. I can decide if I make the most of situations - even the hard ones, or not.

I am thankful that I can live the life I want to live.
