A positive, healthy sense of self-value and worth is the foundation of our happiness and success. When we know who we are and believe in what we represent, our greatest dreams are forever possible. When we doubt ourselves, question our worth and undermine our self value, those dreams and the victory of succeeding becomes worthless. Regardless the level of your esteem and security, always remember that you’re unique and you have a gift to offer. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If they do, they are just jealous. Jealous because they wish they had what you have. More than likely, these same people will speak negative against you, when they don’t even know you. Especially if they never gotten the chance to know you and know what you’re about. Characteristics that they find as flaws, the next person will adore it. They will follow, monitor and even stalk you just so their miserable ass can nitpick for something out of the ordinary. Let them continue. It means nothing to you and neither do they. You have an unique quality within yourself that they are lacking and instead of acknowledging that quality and giving credit when it’s due, they try their best to convince themselves (and possibly others) that you are fake and commence to try bring you down. Keyword: try. I, for one, refuse to allow that to happen to me because I wake up everyday just knowing that I am the shit. No, I’m not conceited. No, I don’t think I’m better than you. No, I don’t think I’m prettier than you. Yes I am well aware of my flaws & imperfections. I am able to recognize that I have something valuable to give the world.

No matter how many people wish I didn’t have so many talents that make me the person that I am today, they will never dim my light that shines from within.

If you’re insecure or have low self-esteem, keep rehearsing that in your mind. Like I’ve stated before, what you may find “wrong” within yourself, there’s someone out there that will embrace that and love you for you. Never allow anyone or anything to limit your mind because of your race, color, gender expression, style of fashion, work experience, non-existent college degrees or body type. Take no shorts, cut down on the compromising and never settle for less. Believe in who we are and what we do. Look up to and trust ourselves to make it through the difficulties just knowing that we can. Only we can truly appreciate and celebrate our own success. Don’t do it for him, don’t do it for her. Don’t try to prove them wrong. Don’t worry about their negative opinion (unless it’s asked for). We’re all are equipped and capable of getting to where we want to be as long as we create a positive pattern of self-worth.

Continue to believe you’re the best because you are the best. And no one, I mean no one…. can tell you otherwise.
