Do you know your eggs?

As part of the O.S.C.A.R (One Small Change Achieves Results) campaign throughout 2010, each month I will be focusing upon a different element of life and helping you to make the one small change that will make a big difference to you.

January is focusing upon Identity.

Do you know your eggs?

I've always loved a good chick flick and I recently watched the Runaway Bridge for the umpteenth time. I think this was one of Julia Roberts' best roles and as Maggie, I really felt for her awkwardness and desperate ability to please her numerous husband-to-bes!!!

There was one particular scene that sticks in my mind after she rejected Ike (played by Richard Gere) who in no uncertain terms told her that she didn't really know who she was and who she wanted.It was true, as Maggie had lost all sense of self by trying to be who she thought her potential husbands wanted her to be.

This sent Maggie on a voyage of discovery and one in particular scene, she sits at a table with a variety of egg dishes trying out each one to find out her favourite.

At the end of this journey, Maggie proposes to Ike again, proudly telling him that she likes Eggs Benedict (no other kind) as well as all the other things she has discovered about herself.

So this month, do a Maggie Carpenter.

Rediscover yourself.

Reconnect with what YOU really like doing.
What you really like eating.
What you really like reading or listening to.

Don't think about what is expected of you by other people, think about what you enjoy and love in life and what makes you YOU.
