grace

Yes, even though I vowed I would never yo-yo, in the 4th grade I got one.  

Yes, even though I vowed I would never ever wear skinny jeans, I bought some.  

And yes, even though last year I specifically remember saying "I will never have a twitter account", I  now am an "official" tweeter (is that what it's called?!)  

Here is a "tweet" by Mr. Louie Giglio himself:

Grace: Realizing you don't have to beat yourself up over your failures because Jesus was already beaten up for them/you. -- Louie Giglio (@louiegiglio)

Grace is a word that encompasses many different definitions, but I like how Louie puts it simply.  

What does grace meant to you?  How have you extended grace to others, yourself, or received it?  Please share on here or e-mail me @ haley.huhn@gmail.com.  I'd love to hear about it!

proactive

proactive: : acting in anticipation of future problems, needs, or changes 

Be proactive!

My boss recently told me that if someone wants something to happen, they will be proactive, seek out help, ask others to guide them and help them along the way in which they want to pursue.  

How true!

If you want something bad enough, you go get it!  

You don't wait for someone to just hand you a promotion, whip you into shape, or help you stay disciplined with cleaning your room ;).  You make goals, set standards, and work toward achieving what you have set out to do.

You act on it.  

You learn more.  

You talk to people who you can absorb information from.  

Like Nike says,

"Just Do It!"
