In most chick flicks, there is often a "leading lady" and a "best friend." The leading lady is beautiful and also the center of the story. The best friend (and it's usually the same actress in all chick flicks) is usually less illuminating than the leading lady, and adds commentary, keeps the leading lady from going crazy, and tries to help her realize the true meaning of life. In the end, you have no idea what happens to the best friend; but you find out that the leading lady lives happily ever after.
I feel as though lately I have been the "best friend" instead of the "leading lady" in my own life. I feel as though I've been just swimming by, feeling less special and attractive than others and not taking charge of my own life. I feel like the one who's never remembered and never the center of the story. Today, I realize that it all needs to change.
We all slip into a rut. We all fall out of leading lady status every now and then. There are some small steps we can all take in order to stay in the center of the story in our own lives.
*Every leading lady needs a fabulous dress, that hides all of her flaws and makes her feel fabulous.
*Every leading lady needs to know where she's been, deal with where she is, and know where's she's going--and how to get there.
*Every leading lady needs to not be afraid to take risks, both with her physical beauty and her career goals.
*Every leading lady needs some dark black mascara.
*Every leading lady needs to take a look at herself in the mirror and admire what is good about her. Try it daily.
*Every leading lady needs a pair of fiercely high heels for the appropriate occasion.
*Every leading lady needs to know that they are the star of the story and will triumph at the end, no matter how difficult the journey.
Be the leading lady in your own life--and the best friend in someone else's.
