BE SOMEONE

How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.
-- Coco Chanel

Nobody could say it any better than Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, better known as Coco Chanel.  The origin of how the name "Coco" came to be, is rather vague. What we do know, is that Coco Chanel was indeed someone! Coco opened her first shop in 1910, designing hats. 

She is "the someone" who pioneered wonderful French fashions. 

She is "the someone" who inspired women to wear practical clothes, and wear them well.

She is "the someone" who created and popularized the 'little black dress.'

She is "the someone" who introduced the world to Chanel No.5.

A woman like Coco never intended to be something. That thought could never have crossed her mind. Coco wasn't destined to be someone. Destiny figures into those who wait for the door to open, not getting off their duff to open it themselves. Coco was and is a someone that inspires. 

You can spend many years educating yourself to become a doctor. You might be a good doctor, a great doctor, even a fabulous specialist. I commend you on your years of determination and hard work, it clearly has paid off. What you have become, is something. 

Now, what makes a doctor someone? 

Inspiration. 

Someone who Dares to be themselves, is someone who is inspired and motivated each and every day. 

You have to be inspired each and every day. 

You must inspire each and every day.

Make today the day that you inspire yourself.
