There are those in life who would drag you down. Break your spirit and make you feel like trash. Somehow, someway they believe that this brings them to another level in their lives, a better level. As we all know, it doesn’t!
How many times do we have to hear someone say that they are too fat or too ugly, or just as bad, that they wish they were a different race before we say stop!
I give myself permission to feel good about myself even though there are those who would try to make me feel otherwise. Give yourself permission also. Join me; you are special! Go ahead and say it to yourself. Mean it.
You have the power, not the naysayers. They have the power over themselves, not you. The only time they have the power over you is when you give it to them. Don’t!
No one is perfect and we should all know that. And if you want to change yourself, or something about yourself, change yourself because you want to. You want to loose weight because you want to be more healthy, or it will make you feel more sexy? Go ahead, do it. You want to have more confidence in the dating scene? Go ahead and get it. Realize though that bettering ourselves is something we do for ourselves and that, even afterwards, we will not be perfect. No one is.
Believe in yourself, I do. Believe that you can accomplish your dreams, I do. And most importantly, believe that you are special in this world because you are special!

Hi Boboy
ReplyDeleteYou are special? I am special... hurray thanks for the vote of confidence. Kudos for you.
See yah...
Yep, we are all special-although we either don't know it, or forget it.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I'm practicing right now...I'm special. There's only 1 me :) You are special too! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go Jessie! Now if we can spread the word to everyone else :)
ReplyDeleteA very encouraging read. I think everyone should be reminded that we are special in our own way
ReplyDeleteThank you Hazel :)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I posted this cause some may have forgotten. Or maybe they haven't thought about it yet.
Cheers!
Thanks bobbyboy and amen. We all need to be reminded sometimes.
ReplyDeleteHi SG, my pleasure :)
ReplyDeleteFeeling good starts inside us and it's good to always get that peptalk from friends.
ReplyDeleteAnd those that tell you otherwise, you should cut them out of your life. Because there is enough negativity out there, and you don't need around your circle of friends.
Well said! We have the power to be anything or anyone we want to be. I have discovered that change does indeed come from within. Believing is the key. I even had "Believe" tattooed on myself as an every day reminder.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, I agree. Surround ourselves with positive people, that's what I do :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, a tattoo is a very powerful way to remind oneself. You're a believer for sure!
Cheers guys!
Every once in awhile I have to do a "negative cleansing" of sorts...The only behavior we control is our own so if someone is bringing me down or being negative I choose not to be around that particular person. We are all perfectly imperfect but that doesn't mean I will choose to be around someone who brings out my imperfections!
ReplyDelete"negative cleansing"
ReplyDeleteLove this phrase :) Maybe this can be a weekly ritual!

ReplyDeleteHi Lala looo loo, thanks for your comment. I see you know why you haven't succeeded YET, but I know for sure that when you are ready, you WILL. And most importantly, it's you that is beautiful regardless of weight or anything else :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this entry Bobby...loved reading it!
ReplyDeleteHi Riza, I think it's a good idea to remind ourselves, and each other, about our value. Not too much of this nowadays.
ReplyDeleteCheers!
