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 beautiful girl or most handsome guy on this planet then dang right you aren't gonna believe jack squat they say. Cuz YOU believe in you. AND YOU SHOULD. Now the trickier part is.. if someone says "You are absolutely stunning." but you believe you are the most couch potato looking person on the planet.. than that saying ain't gonna do diddly squat to you. but you will still smile and say "thanks." (i hope, be kind). But honestly it all comes down to perception. How do you perceive yourself? When I was 14 I compared myself to everyone around me wanting longer hair, or prettier eyes, or even just a better figure. And you know what that did to me? it started to kill me. Literally it did, I was so negative and wasn't who I truly was inside. When you don't love yourself it's harder for others to love you. Why? because, do you really know who you are if you are constantly wanting to be something else? No. No you do not. So I say OWN IT. Own you. YOU are one of a kind. I know its  freakin hard to love yourself sometimes, but thats a battle we all face and need to accept and overcome. How do we do it? How do you love yourself? Well, start being positive. Start loving you for every reason you are different than those you compare yourself too. I promise you, life will be happier and the people around you will be happier because they will see you love you. God's greatest commandment is to love as he loves us. Well that includes LOVING YOURSELF gosh dang it. DO IT.  God's greatest truth is that HE LOVES YOU. Yeah YOU. So if you feel down remember GOD created you, just how you are. Love what he gave you, embrace what you have to offer to this world. Because there IS a reason YOU are HERE. You are YOU. So BE YOU. LOVE YOU. AND CONQUER the inner battle of if you are good enough, if you are beautiful, if you are successful.. truth is YOU decide all of that. Who cares what others think of you? In the end it don't matter. what matters is if you LOVED and lived the life you were give too in the body GOD gave you. YOU ROCK. Now go tell yourself that. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

MY CHALLENGE TO YOU:
Love the REAL you. BE POSITIVE ABOUT YOU. No drawn on eyebrows, no fake eyelashes, no straightened and blow-dried hair.

It's taken me a long time to love myself for who I am. AND I am not done working on that. Its an everyday battle but what matters is I am trying. So try to just love the real you!

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...
