Be what you can, with what you have, where you are.
~Theodore Roosevelt
Thanks to Teddy Roosevelt for many things, but especially this quote, because it strips away all excuses. For instance, many people do not currently reside in their dream home, but does that mean they can’t make every effort to create a pleasant living environment where they are right now? Many women use losing weight as an excuse for not taking time to put together nice outfits; they don’t want to buy new clothes until they have lost weight, or can buy them in a particular size. Meanwhile months and years can go by. What a shame to waste time that could be enjoyed right now, even if only taking pleasure in simply feeling good by looking our best.
