It took me a really long time to get to this place. I’ve had to put myself down and pick myself up to be where I am right now. Where am I exactly? I’m in a place where I have realized that it is okay to be 100% unapologetically MYSELF. And not only that but to share that self with everyone that I come into contact with. It. Feels. Amazing. For my entire life, since I began coming into myself, I have shied away from the real me. I’ve always watered myself down. For a long time, I loathed attention. A part of me still does but now I’m okay with getting attention that I feel I deserve. But most importantly, I strive for recognition. Not recognition from those around me but that from my own self. Because you know what? I’m pretty great. I don’t say that to sound cocky or arrogant. I say that simply to reinforce this new found confidence. Because what’s wrong with a little (or a lot) of self validation? Nothing at all. We really need it. Because if we stay stuck in a world where we don’t feel necessary, our thoughts deteriorate our own self value. You need to know and BELIEVE that you are amazing! You are amazing and you are capable of doing amazing things! I’ve learned that thoughts are seeds. If you nurture negative thoughts, they will grow. If you plant and nurture positive thoughts, they also will grow. Would you want a garden of negativity or positivity? Thoughts really become things and I had to make the decision to think that I am amazing. And when I started thinking that I was amazing, I began feeling amazing. All these amazing positive plants started blooming while the negative thorn bushes wilted away and that’s what we all need. We all need to think highly of ourselves and reap positive rewards that heighten our self worth and start with how we think. Whatever you have been wanting to do, you owe it to yourself to try and achieve it. No matter how wild or unrealistic it may seem, it is worth a shot. YOU are worth a shot. That is how we need to look at how we live our lives. As if we are worth more than we can imagine. And to remember that we are amazing. something I wrote to myself and now I’m sharing with you.
