We see the word ‘skinny’ everywhere: Try a pill to make you skinny, try a particular diet to make you skinny or even, try drinking some potions/teas to make you skinny. The list goes on and on.

In our desperate effort to be skinny, we forget about the amazing things that our body is doing for us.

It has taken me many years to realize this but being skinny is not the biggest accomplishment that I want to achieve in The World.

There are so many more things that I would rather be. Here are 12 of them:

1. Healthy.

2. Strong.

3. Graceful.

4. Grateful.

5. Present.

6. Kind.

7. Brave.

8. Courageous.

9. Smart.

10. Authentic.

11. Humble.

12. Intelligent.
