What’s Good Family? We are back another week to celebrate our Freedom today. In honor of you, I want to talk about creating yourself piece by piece to become your very best self. Many of you may remember playing with a toy called “Mr. Potato Head” during the days of your adolescence when kids still played outdoors way before digital downloads and fortnite were initial thoughts. Mr. Potato Head is an activity that originated from the idea of decorating actual potatoes with human character attributes that allow them to appear life like. The focus of this craft is designed to allow you to put together different pieces in aims of creating a potato person. I live for personal development and creating the person you want to be, and I believe that the example of the Potato Head process can assist you to become the best version of yourself.

Now, I am not suggesting that anyone looks like a potato, but similar to Mr. Potato Head we begin from a blank canvas (potato) and become ourselves through whatever we choose to decorate ourselves with. There are many options of accessories including hat, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, feet, and hands, that can be placed on the potato to give it character appearance. This activity is full of imagination and creativity as you are allowed to dress up your potato and make it appear however you want. if you don’t like the way something looks you can change it at any time as there are many interchangeable options that allow you to create the best looking potato person possible.

Well, life is very similar to the example of the Mr. Potato Head as you are able to create the person that you want to be. Although you can physically change just about anything in and on your body through modern surgery, you can also change these yourself by the way you use what you already have.

Eyes – stay focused on the vision of your success
Ears – listen for understanding
Hat – guard your mind as you grow in wisdom and knowledge
Mouth – your words manifest reality so speak your truth into existence
Feet – stand for what you believe in even if you have to stand alone
Hands – these are your tools for transformation so role up your sleeves and do the work

So as you work to become your best, be sure to continue to be creative with yourself as you change for the better. One of the added benefits of the Mr. Potato Head example is that when you present yourself in the best way possible, the world around you will be forced to receive you as the same. Its like getting a compliment based on your appearance, but you know you received the compliment because you already affirmed that you were looking good to yourself…slay all-day. Remember, you are a blank canvas (potato) and anything that will be added or taken away from you is really up to you. As you work to continue to be your best, remember the example of Mr. Potato Head as you design what things you want to create as part of your character and how you present your best in the world.

life is not about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.TGIF
