How would u feel if you were told that you weren't good enough, or that you would never achieve something? Would u feel worthless and disappointed in yourself? Would it make you feel less of a person if someone that's supposed to care about you cannot support you in the things that you love to do the most? Would it bring down your self-esteem? Depression is a killer. It may make you feel paralyzed and numb, not wanting to do anything or see anyone. You may feel worthless, stupid and conflicted with everything in life. We always try to do the best we can through life to please other people and make them happy, but sometimes it feels like it is never enough. That WE are never enough. And sometimes it's not about other people that we should be worried about and that's always the hard part. Putting ourselves first and believing in ourselves is sometimes a lot harder for a lot of people to do, especially when they have been put down over and over so many times in the past throughout their livesJust know that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Regardless of how hard it may be, or the struggles that u go through, it IS achievable, and u have to tell yourself that. Believe me, it is hard, but if u have a goal that you want to meet, and surpass, then you have to push forward and persevere. It won't happen if u don't let it!.
People struggle every day to accept themselves. To accept who they are and what they were put on this earth to do. Sometimes it's easier said than done to just turn a blind eye to those that have hate towards you and disrespect you. You try to forget what's been said, but especially for women, it's a very difficult thing to do.
Feeling adequate is better than feeling nothing at all. But feeling good about yourself and beautiful, and special makes your day so much more worth it. You will find that telling yourself that you are beautiful, and that you can do anything or have someone that will say that to you, whether that is a friend, a family member or a loved one brings the moral in people up, so that they feel so much better in themselves, knowing that someone sees them as beautiful, and special and they then, in turn, feel loved.
Having someone in your life that supports you in your life endeavors, and with what you want to do in life gives u that push to strive forward and become that better person and reach that goal that you feel is so far from your grasp that it's not even worth fighting for.
If u have ever felt like the world is caving in on you and that you have no control over your feelings or how you speak or think, well I understand because that was me. That IS me! But I am slowly realizing that life is precious and more important that I first thought. I am so glad to have someone that I love in my life that supports me, loves me so very much and wants to see me do well, and foremost, is PROUD of me. That makes me feel good about myself. Knowing that someone cares and someone loves me in ways that other people choose not to. You take inspiration from the people you love and use it yourself, as steps to move forward.
Be STRONG. You are intelligent, you are kind, you are caring, you are BEAUTIFUL inside AND out..and if other people cannot see that, that is their problem NOT YOURS!! Don't listen to the negative aspects of life because they will just bring you down. Have a positive outlook. Know what you want from the very beginning and strive to make that happen. For e.g for me, I want to start my own skin care business. That means advertising, making the products, and getting people to buy them. I am sure it will be a very slow start, but I am telling myself and hoping that everything will be ok. Although as I said before there is that little voice telling u otherwise, and that can be hard to shake and not listen to.
Have a POSITIVE outlook on life. You can't live in fear every day or worry about what may or may not happen because worrying will take up half of your life, and you will waste time worrying about something that may not even be worth worrying about. Make it a habit every morning to either listen to someone telling you that u are worthy, and beautiful and special or write positive notions if you are feeling down.
We all make paths for ourselves in life. You are the only one that can make sure that you stay on that path, and get to the goals that you want to achieve. To be free, and independant and to not let anyone stand in your way. This is YOUR life, not theirs. THEY have no say in what you do in your life. Other people are just nasty, because they don't have anything better to do in their lives than to make other peoples lives miserable for entertainment.
Take a minute or two to appreciate yourself for who u are and what u have. Stand in front of a mirror and say outloud I AM STRONG, I AM SMART, I AM KIND, I AM CARING, I AM BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT, I AM SPECIAL, I CAN DO ANYTHING I PUT MY MIND TO, I AM LOVED, I AM TALENTED, I AM ME. No one else can be you. You are unique being that was brought on this earth. Find that part inside you wherever it is that wants to succeed and make it push away the part that wants to fail.
Be CONFIDENT in everything that you do!!
But first and foremost, You need to learn to love yourself because then others will love you!
