The Only Girl in the World Who…

Sometimes you feel like you are the only girl in the world who is about to turn another year older and it’s hard to come to terms with that.  Sometimes you feel like you are the only girl in the world that is hated by at least 10% of the people you meet.  Sometimes you feel like the only girl in the world that isn’t pretty enough.  Sometimes you feel like the only girl in the world who isn’t good enough.

But I want you to feel like the only girl in the world who is wiser as she gets older.  I want you to feel like the only girl in the world that is liked by 90% of the people you meet.  I want you to feel like the only girl in the world that isn’t pretty but beautiful in so many ways.  I want you to feel like you are the only girl in the world that is worth more than enough.

Self esteem is something all women battle with.  We are our own worst critic.  I do this to myself often and no matter how much I preach to you ladies out there to stop doing it, we all do it and its ok.  It is how you decide to change that negative into a positive.  It is how you start to see how full that glass is instead of how empty it is.  Self reflection and acceptance is very important when it comes to living the good life, the positive life.  Reflect on who you were, and where you are today and accept the bad and then embrace the good.  Empowering yourself comes with loving yourself enough to give yourself more than enough. 

I can sit here and tell you how I have fought very hard as a full figured fitness professional and how people have been mean. I can sit here and tell you how being a Lifestyle Coach, Writer and Entrepreneur in the beauty and  fashion industry has brought me many judgments and how it hurts.  I can tell you that I am often misunderstood and how I wish people judged me from knowing me and not what they hear about me.  Or I can sit here and tell you how fun it has been to see women’s lives changed by my fitness help.  I can sit here and tell you how adventurous it has been to travel and test out amazing beauty and fashion goodies. Or I can sit here and tell you how great it has been to meet new people that see deep inside me and what a blessing they have been in my life.

So in the end the reality is I believe in you and now I want you to believe in yourself.  Give yourself more than enough.
