I’ll be the first to say, I us to give up on myself more times than I care to admit. I have learned to stand up for myself and believe in myself. No matter what situation you are in….believe in yourself and trust you can get through anything. Sometimes the situation may not be pretty, or the way you planned, but you will get through it, if you believe in yourself and not give up hope.

We are all worth what we believe we are worth. Trust me when I say….we are all worth more than we can ever imagine. I’ve gone through many parts of my life not believing I knew I was worth much. I thought I should trust what others told me would be best for me. I didn’t listen to my heart, and I didn’t do what was best for me. Sometimes we trust those who really don’t believe in us, or want to manipulate our life.

You can be strong and stand up for yourself. There is no need to argue with anyone over what you believe would be best for you. If someone tells you that you will fail…..prove them wrong, if someone says you’re not worthy, prove them wrong, and if someone puts you down with words, build yourself up with positive affirmations. You are strong, worthy, successful, and your thoughts are what matter the most.

If someone says they love you and you don’t feel you need to say it back, that’s ok, you don’t need to. Our world has too many people being fake and being honest with yourself and others will only make our world better. Be honest though with kind words. Don’t hurt others with cruel words. There is no need to put others down, but what you do need to do is never give up on yourself and build others up…with honest and loving words.

We all have bad days, this doesn’t mean you failed, bad days are reminders for us to hold our head up and know we made it through the day. Bad days are lessons. You didn’t give up on yourself… you pulled through the day. You are always stronger when you make it through a rough day with your head up high.

So….never give up on yourself or allow others to make you feel unworthy. We are all individualists and not everyone’s cup of tea. Don’t hurt others with words, but build them up with kind and honest words. Forgive those who can’t help others be strong…..one day they will be as strong as you are….we all have different times in finding our “true” selves…..some people just take longer than others.

Trust the Journey and Life Lessons,
