WWLTD


Okay, so first and foremost I want to be like Jesus Christ. However, I recently saw the movie The Blind Side and LOVED it (thanks to my awesome husband I got to go to the movies yesterday for the first time in a long time). The story is moving and inspirational, but I was especially inspired by the character of Leigh Anne Tuohey. Before I went to see the movie, I saw an interview with Sandra Bullock who plays the real life character of Leigh Anne Tuohey and Ms. Bullock announced that she plans to strive to be more like Leigh Anne Tuohey. I initially thought that I'm sure this woman is great and generous, but wondered why exactly Sandra wanted to be more like the real life Leigh Anne.


Here's why-- well, at least why I want to be more like Leigh Anne:
- She's assertive
- She's proactive
- She's honest, brutally honest
- She takes care of herself
- She dreams big and has great expectations

I'm aware Leigh Anne has flaws just like the rest of us, but she's beautiful, vibrant, and gets the job done. She doesn't take no for an answer and while she cares about people, she doesn't care if she hurts someone's feelings so that the best can happen for their life. I am pretty proactive myself, but I don't take care of myself (physically especially) half the way Leigh Anne does, and I could definitely kick up assertiveness in my own life.
