Life is good, but living it is better...I Absolutely LOVE traveling. I have been almost everywhere except for Africa. I was in CHINA and JAPAN this last summer for 2 months to do Editorial Modeling/Film Commercials. I've also had the privilege of going on a variety of Cruises around the world, but my main goal is to go on a Mediterranean cruise one day or even a World Cruise, when I finally graduate from University.
I am very acceptable to those who love traveling as much as I do. I think when you explore the world around you, you appreciate life more. I even noticed it made me more open-minded to new culinary food. I can't wait to go to heaven one day, that way when I have wings to fly, I will finally have a glimpse of the horizon and a perspective of the life beyond our lives...

I find that some of the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. Knowing yourself, is meeting almost everyone... I also find that we are almost all the same, because: Most of us get bored with childhood by rushing to grow up, then want to be children again. We loose health to make money, yet spend the money we make to restore our health.We live as if we'll never die, yet die as if we never lived.As much as we are all different, we all tend to compare ourselves to eachother. Lastly, we all tend to think anxiously about the future, that we often forget the present, so we are in neither the present nor the future...******************************************-*MY "KEY" to MY DAILY LIVING (By Chantel Elloway) -*-:No one can measure human potential. Nothing of value comes without sacrifice. I have learned to try to keep my eyes open for critical moments and try to trade up, never down. Boundless opportunity surrounds us all. I tell myself all the time to expect the best in the environment around you, but always prepare for the worse.Throughout my life I have always wanted to do more than just to exist. I want to LIVE! I have trained my eyes to do more than look, but to observe. With all that I do I want to absorb, listen, and understand. They say to think before, but we should also reflect after. I believe all of this will bring me one step further to being a better person today as I was yesterday.I know that what differentiates me from others is that I try to do common things uncommonly. Its never too late to change or pursue your dreams, no matter how far fetched it may even seem. This all comes when you begin to just focus on your priorities.I find that you don't necessarily pay for things with money, but rather with time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it. There is only 24 hours to a day. I want to become the star of as many hours as I can, by trying to make the minutes I am given, count. This sounds obvious and a bit challenging, but I have come to realize that we should do things in our lives that will be positive, without a return or promise of reward and THERE WILL come a day that will be a payday for all the times we focused on placing value on each previous day we have been given.I am still young, so I know I can try to be all I can be. Some others I have met expect to just wake up one day and be where those who have worked hard are… while they were being lazy or resting. This is common, but without the practice of hard work, the rest tends to not give any benefit.I never want the day to come where I don't want to wake up. I think we all should find our passion and believe in ourselves, because we are good at doing something that's bigger than we are, and conquer it! If something to me is worth doing, either I will give it my best or not do it at all. I tend to be very stubborn at times, and try not to let people walk over me. I am confident in myself only because I don't like to be told what to do, but I do more than I am told.In conclusion, everyday we live we are all in the process of becoming. Whether we are becoming better or worse depends on what we give ourselves to. So strive for continual improvement, manage your time wisely, try not to abandon opportunities, try to find the best in those who surround you, and remember that the best reward for what we do is not what we get for it, but rather what we become by it.Sorry if this bored you by any chance. If you made it to this paragraph that is…I hope this enlightened you and doesn't make u feel like SH!T instead… haha I hope you are also content with what you have, but not with what you are.Value yourself. Appreciate others. And never ever underestimate anyone!-CHANTEL ELLOWAY

It is difficult to experience moments of happiness if we are not aware of what it is we genuinely love. I find that our happiness or our unhappiness depends far more on the way we meet the events of life than on the nature of the events themselves rather. You need to only claim what happens in your life to make yourself yours. When you truly possess all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are then capable of being more realistic with yourself. I’m built tiny, and realize I am not built perfect; yet, I am happy with the body God gave me. It is the greatest instrument I will ever own and use. I always hear girls talk about their self-image (especially their weight)… I have it easy I guess cause I eat and can’t gain (hereditarily). I never look at that though. The friends I have in my life, I try to see past their faults and imperfections… because naturally who are they comparing themselves to? I look high-maintenance, but I am such a down-to-earth young woman…I try to spend the least time in a mirror as possible, stay away from the scale, and just take good care of my body by making the right healthy choices. It saddens me when people go out of their way to look great and put so much time and effort into their looks (which in general is no problem at all)… but often they tend to forget about the reflection of their heart, soul, and mind that others may now be blinded by. I have done some beauty pageants only so I can one day tell my children something fun, and also for experience since it is something not too many do everyday. Throughout the process I have realized how superficial people can be. Is it truly a competition of the reflection of outer beauty? Or is it a reflection of how we see ourselves? If anything is sacred, it’s the body we were born with. I used to be a huge party girl, I would wake up and not even know where I was. That was a disaster. At times I forgot who I even was, because who you become under the influence of alcohol is not someone everyone should be proud of. I no longer drink and I have never touched drugs. I am not trying to sound better by saying this… I am trying to point out that our bodies are temples of a higher power… artificially people do so many things to either better or destroy their bodies, it eventually destroys their self-image and self-dignity. It is definitely important to not only stay true to yourself, but to also never change who you are for anyone! By all means… party hard! … However what I am trying to say is sometimes we need to have accidents happen in our lives and mistakes in order to feel no doubts about oneself, to find out who our true character is. And you’ll find many talk Big, only to make up for how small and fragile they feel on the inside. Confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can have. It's much sexier than any body part. And Men- do realize your bodies will eventually not be that strong from working out all the time… and remember it’s the empowerment of your mind that shows the true strength of your body.
