Today I saw an image that said “Fresh, Fearless, Fabulous”. It spoke to me. I already decided this is the year for focus and purpose. Sprinkle in fresh, fearless and fabulous and I already feel like a million bucks. It is funny how words affect us. I started the day with choices. Today I chose a green drink with apple, chia seeds, ginger, cinnamon, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and power greens. I already feel fabulous and the day is just beginning. This year wellness goals are a priority for me. Will I be perfect? Surely not but this year is about progress and not perfection. Are there words that instantly make you feel better? #greensmoothie #myrecipe #words #feelgoodwords #linkinbio #newavon #avonrep #beautylover #beauty #wellness #healthgoals #feelfabulous #fresh #fearless (at Woodbridge, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsQYe5jASMS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hytnc84ltdve

Karma Lewis was the winner of my Festivus bingo game way back in December. Her prize was to choose the "feel good" words for a new design I would create, and for her to be the first to color it. Well, here it is! I love the bright colors and gradient blends she created!

I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

For this week’s post, I chose to pick an article that was very different than my purpose. I chose to look at an article that is written by two men from Newcastle University named Hugh Dauncey and Geoff Hare. These two men did an article on the relationship between the media and sports. They first talk about the influence of the press on the sports world. Over the years the press, has been one of the biggest and oldest influences in advertising sports. The sports and press have been interconnected as far back as the 1840′s. Radio has also made an impact in bringing sports to the public. In the 1920′s, newsreels made there way into society as color was introduced into film. The newsreels would present sports clips and brought women into realm of sports as more women than men attended newsreels. Radio also brought sports into the comfort of ones own home. Lastly it discussed how television has also been a major contributor with the help of sports channels and sports movies. With all of these, contributing factors athletes have been turned into superstars and heroes. Many people look up to these individuals as they are portrayed throughout comic books, magazines and more. Through media sport has not only become a countries characteristic but a global characteristic. 

I took the quote above from Michael Jordan to tie this article and my blog purpose together. When you first here of my blog called Feel Good Words, sports is probably not the first thing that comes to your mind. However, this article can most definitely relate to my purpose. As the article clearly interprets, media has a huge effect on the sports realm. Sports stars are on commercials, billboards and more. They get as much publicity in today’s time as movie stars and singers. With this huge amount of fame coming from television, radio and press, the sports legends are looked at as heroes. As kids we all had a favorite sports star that we looked up to. I can remember mine being Chipper Jones and Jennie Finch. Children and the public take away every little thing that sports stars do. They have the power to influence and make a difference. Therefore, it is very important that these legends present themselves in an honorable and respectable way. Many sports quotes inspire people to push themselves because of the reliability of the person who said it. Michael Jordan said this quote above and inspired many people to push harder, even when you fail. We can take the words of sports stars and relate them to our own lives because these sports stars were once just regular people like you and me. Without the relationship of media and sports, as explained in the article, we would not have the wise words and the inspirational motivations that athletes give us.

But the bitter truth we critics face... the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

Ratatouille 

The quote above is from a very popular Disney movie, Ratatouille. It was said by a character who plays a food critic in the film. Many people have the mind set of critics being bad and judgmental. Critics are always the “bad guys” who’s words do anything but make you feel good. In the movie, we see just that. The critic is seen as the sneaky, bad guy throughout the whole movie until we see that he gives Gusteau’s, a restaurant run by mice, a great and helpful review. The critic guides them and points them in the right direction with the addition of the some encouragement. It turns out that the critic wanted to help the restaurant after all and help it flourish into a great eating facility. Many critics in society today are looked at as mean and heartless. Food critics come to give pointers to restaurants that can be very strict and ruthless. The same thing goes for movie critics and song critics. Many artists are offended when their work is not appreciated or praised. From a critic’s point of view, they do not intend to be mean or harmful to the person being critiqued. They are simply doing their job by giving their honest opinion that the company or person may not usually get.  

This topic may seem like the exact opposite from what my blog post is all about but in a way the two topics make a connection. I say that critics are not always the bad guys and we are always going to face critics throughout our lives. Young people especially will have numerous critics in their everyday lives because of their age. Some of these critics could include parents, teachers, family members and friends. These critics are not always going to tell us what we want to hear but sometimes it is what we need to hear. Believe it or not most of these everyday critics are people who love us and want to help and guide us through life’s struggles. Critics sometimes seem like the bad guys because we do not agree with their judgement. However, critics only give you there advice to make you better. This is important to our lives because we are always going to have people who judge and give opinions. People have to learn that criticism is a good thing  Advice and a different insight can not always be comforting but it is only given to us because the advice givers care. So the next time, you get advice or judgement that you do not like remember that people are trying to help you prosper, not tear you down. Sometimes harsh words of criticism can turn into feel good words down the road.
