“In a world full of plain bagels be a sprinkled donut!”

– Unknown author

Do you really want to be that sprinkled donut? Or are you happy being a bagel?

They both have a core, but one is topped with sprinkles and one is not.

They both are early birds, but one can become a pizza in the evening. Slice a bagel in half top it with sauce and cheese; microwave for 1 minute.

They both are round, but one can easily be made into a pretzel. Twist the bagel dough, submerge in boiling salt water, drain and bake!

Authenticity is being true to yourself; it’s essential for our mental health. If you don’t feel like being a donut, then don’t! There are so many influences in our lives. How do you remain true to your core?
