Accolades aren’t always deserved;)
I feel that there is always room for improvement so what’s the point of bragging. There will always be someone who has done more and by the same token, those who have done less. Be careful about posturing yourself in a way that makes others feel less significant because they haven’t achieved as much as you. If they haven’t, that doesn’t make them any less significant and certainly doesn’t make you more significant. This trait is a form of insecurity or maybe some people just don’t know how to handle being blessed. If you are accustomed to having “things” it should be nothing to you to live your life out gracefully.
Now, I’m not saying to overlook the fact that you have simply been blessed and favored with opportunity which I hope would make you humble and grateful. Not cocky and arrogant. There is a difference in sharing and being inspirational versus bragging.
Most important (!), don’t ever feel that you have to have accolades and accomplishments to feel important. You are important because you are a child of God. You don’t have to convince anyone of this by advertising your importance or trying to assure others of your greatness. You shouldn’t have to validate yourself to anyone… you are God’s finest regardless.

I swear to you I want tocopy this whole post and paste it on someone's facebook page. On the flip side, love the dress and shoe. I think I may have to copy you and get those shoes.
You look great…nothing new : ) I love that message and I so agree. We gotta know who we are and know that we have nothing to prove to nobody. Keep up the great work. I am inspired!

Awww you look so sweet T!! You fit right in with the scene
I love Tanya! Thanks for sharing.
I love this post. I have never been the type of person to brag. I always felt that I could get more and be better, and that whatever I have or done, others have as well. People should be comfortable in their own skin and not have to boast about who they are or what they have done.
This post has moved me soooo much, I am going to write about it on my blog.

true is the message you've conveyed.that's why i love your blog!
hey tanya great post and you look beautiful.. Well I wanted to ask you whether you wear those high heeled pumps all day ? I mean do you wear them while you are working ? isn't it painful?
SIS U LOOK GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS…:) WHAT U SAID IS SO TRUE I HUMBLE MYSELF MORE AND MORE EACH DAY BECAUSE AT THE END ITS NOT ABOUT THIS FLESH OR MATERIAL THINGS BUT ABOUT THE SPIRIT ABIDING WITHIN BECAUSE WE NO UR EITHER RIGHTEOUS OR UNRIGHTEOUS. ALSO TO ME WHEN PEOPLE BRAG R FLOSS ITS BECAUSE THEY NEVER HAD ANYTHING AND DONT NO HOW TO HANDLE BLESSINGS SOMETIMES. HONESTLY I CAN CARE LESS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE HAVE R DONT HAVE BECAUSE ONEDAY UR HERE AND THE NEXT SECOND UR GONE. SO SCREW ALL THE MATERIAL THINGS I LIKE TO FOCUS ON MANIFESTING POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES SUCH AS LOVE,BEAUTY,STRENGTH,INTELLIGENCE ETC. ALSO AS I GET OLDER I NOTICE ITS JUST BEST TO STAY TO URSELF AND DO U FOREAL BECAUSE THE MORE PEOPLE U HAVE N UR LIFE THE MORE DRAMA U WILL RECEIVED BECAUSE LOTS OF PEOPLE HATE TO SEE U DOIN SOMETHING FOR URSELF THEY JUST WANNA BREAK U DOWN THATS Y I DONT GIVE PEOPLE THE TITLE OF BEING A "FRIEND" UNLESS THEY REALLY EARNED IT….OK IM DONE TALKING UR EARS OFF LOL I JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH U WHAT WAS ON MY HEART & MIND…LUV YA SIS TTYL……:)
Staying true to yourself is important!!!! Only god can judge you. You look great even when the leaves are falling.
Great message. As always you look cute…I'm sooo jealous that its 80 and sunshine in Cali while its a blistering 9 (yes single digits) here in DC.
I love your words.. we just talked about this (smile)
Such an innocent, but yet fashionable look…………..being humble you will never overlook your blessings, but when you walk to tall with your chest poked out you cant see whats coming, and then thats where you will stumble and falll…………. Great message 🙂 "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble" James 4:6
