Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves

When you see yourself, what do you think? Is it negative or positive?
I want you to ask yourself this question and personally think why is it that? Believe it or not we aren't perfect people there will be days when we think negatively about ourselves and days when we think positively. What I have noticed is that the days that are negative are usually that way because I compare myself to other people, or wish I looked a certain way or could be great at certain things, everyone struggles with this in one way or another. When we compare ourselves to other people or fake idols we usually think negatively about ourselves and who we are, because we are not MEANT to be those people, WE are MEANT to be OUR INDIVIDUAL SELVES. I am not perfect and nor will I ever be, but I have realized that I am imperfect and flawed and that is what makes me unique and different than others. When we compare ourselves or think negatively about who we are, we are giving up what we have to offer and saying "I don't like the qualities I've been given I want different ones" and we stop at nothing to try and get them. We loose out on opportunities to be who we are, because we are too focused on trying to be someone else. Don't get caught in the trap that you aren't worth as much as her because you are different than her, or you aren't worth as much as him because you are different than him. We all have the potential to be our best selves but we can't be if we are trying to be someone else. You are you, and do the things that make you truly happy, be around the people that make you truly happy, because I believe true happiness comes when you're not worried about yourself or others opinions of you, you are simply happy and comfortable in your own skin. That is when we are able to think positively about ourselves is when we finally just don't care what others think of us. You do what you need to, to be truly happy. For me true happiness comes when I accept that I am different and spend time with the people I love. Find what makes you truly happy and stop worrying and trying to be someone that you were not created to be. You are amazing, whoever you are, you have qualities that no one else has, and instead of hindering those qualities and trying to replace them with the ones you desire more, embrace them and strengthen the ones you already have. Love yourself so that others can fully love you and you can love others. Life is meant to be enjoyed, it's not meant to spend every minute worrying or trying to be different. Be who you are, say what you feel, and don't care what other people think of you, because YOU ARE AWESOME.

Hey you. You are pretty dang amazing.

Hey all you out there who feel worthless, unsuccessful, ugly, and used. Guess what? WHO CARES WHAT THEY THINK. YOU need to understand that YOU are beautiful, worthy, successful, and important. Whether you feel like you are in the darkest time of your life or you are on cloud nine there is one thing that always stands... and that is YOU are ONE OF A KIND. Yep. You, the person reading this blog that some 20 year old wanna be the next Ella fitzgerald  is writing (don't know her? look her up she's pretty snazzy with the tunes). You are worth so much, I know that people say that all the time. People can tell you "Oh hey you're pretty." or "You are so amazing." But does it really mean something to you unless you believe it yourself? no. it does not. because no matter what people tell you if you don't believe it yourself it won't effect you. And that goes for Good or bad. If someone says "you're ugly" but you believe you are the most beaut...

True Potential

Sometimes in life we get overwhelmed with the things we have to accomplish or the things placed on our shoulders. Sometimes we get consumed by these things that we lose sight of who we are and who we are trying to become and where we are trying to get to. We may think we aren't good enough for the position we hold or the title we have, but you are bigger than you think. Your life has meaning and you are doing what you are doing because someone knows you are good at it. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I believe that we have a Heavenly father and a Savior Jesus Christ who are always there for us and know our true potential. Potential thats a powerful word, what does it mean? H aving or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future or latent qualities or abilities that may be developed and lead to future success or usefulness. Do you believe you have a potential? I do. I know everyone has the chance to become ...

Find Yourself

There are many times when we can let one thing consume us and take up our time as well as distract us from what is important. Like technology, video games, hobbies, etc. Have you ever thought about how the way you view and talk about yourself effects you in this same way? You can get distracted on your cell phone and miss out on some of the best moments in life, right? You're scrolling through Instagram, Facebook, and looking at snap chat all while your professor is teaching you in the class you payed $$ for, or while your children are trying to show you something cool they made at school instead of looking you say "hold on just a minute." These aren't moments that should be told to hold on for just a minute, while we are consuming ourselves in other peoples lives in the media. Take time to step back. How does this tie into self concept? Well, when you are constantly talking negatively about yourself it rubs off on the people around you, they see that you don't tr...
