"You are stronger than any sadness you'll ever feel and you are braver than any fear you'll ever face and you matter more than you'll ever believe!" ~ Michele Goren

How's that for affirmation? You are everything   mentioned here AND a bag of chips! Fabulous, brave, strong and important....nice! 

Now, if only you believed that, there would be nothing left to write about. Nothing to say. 

BUT: for all you doubters.... take a trip down memory lane...think back, to yourself at 4-5 years old... you were all that, at all times. There was no fear, you knew you were great, and were automatically inducted into 'The Wonderful Kids Hall of Fame.' Most of us were so certain of our position, it didn't even have to be reinforced by anyone else. We just KNEW. 

What happened? Life beat you up a bit, didn't it? You found out that not everyone thought you were so great. You 'took on' this information and made it a part of you. You have let someone else's opinion of you, become you. 

The fact is, you are still that little child, you are still great, always have been and always will be. Your head is telling you that you are not pretty, skinny, lovable or good enough. That you are not as good as the next guy and your dreams will never come true. It's time to call Bullshit!! 

What you allow, will continue, therefore, if you want to be great, then be great. You are whomever you want to be. You are in charge. Don't allow yourself to be less because someone is jealous of your awesomeness. Don't listen to the negative messages in your head, you know better. Remember that little child. Who are you to not be awesome, fabulous and great? It is your choice and your birthright.
