The fact that you are different from everyone else on this earth is a good thing whether you realize it or not. Just think about what it would be like if we were all the same…..might be kinda boring huh? If we were all the same and liked the same things then your choices would be very slim don’t you think?

Just imagine everyone living in houses that all looked the same, or all driving the same kind of car, wearing the same style clothes, were the same size, shape and color. That would just be crazy.

I like being different, being unique makes me feel special. Everyone needs to be who they are and not try to be like someone else. It’s not a bad thing to admire someone but don’t try to be just like them because it will never work. You have to develop your own personality and be comfortable being you, you have to love yourself.

Don’t try to look like those models in the magazine that barley have skin on their bones, who cares if you are a little over weight, if you are happy with who you are then it really shouldn’t matter. Never try to change your looks for someone else or try to be someone different than who you are for anyone. The only person you should change for is you! so if you want to make improvements to yourself then by all means do it.

Take it from me…I know I have lived it. I tried to always be what I thought everyone wanted me to be. Did you catch the words “I thought”? This was a thought that I persived in my own mind that this was the way the people around me wanted me to be. Did they ever tell me what they wanted me to be? no I don’t think so….not plain out tell me anyway. I think it was more me thinking that they couldn’t possibly like me for me….I didn’t look like a super model and I wasn’t all poised and confident in myself and that made me feel inferior to everyone around me. If someone told me I was pretty I would just look at them and say “yeah right, me?” I don’t think so. It was “my” perception of things, not neccessarly theirs…. therefore I became a martar so to speak.

I gave up my personal freedom to be what I thought would make those around me happier,“who they wanted me to be”. When you do that sometimes you just feel like you are dying inside. You can become bitter, or worse, you just feel like you want to die. You think to youself “if I were to die right now no one would miss me or even care”

I didn’t feel that I was surounded by people who cared really, I was just there, kinda in the way. I became very shy and introverted. And yes that just made things worse. You can find yourself feeling so many different emotions and that can get very confusing. You want so badly just to have someone love you….for you. But by this time you are lost and don’t know who you are or what you want.

But all hope is not lost, You can learn to love yourself and by loving yourself first others will learn to love you for you….which is what you wanted all along.

Take steps to find who you are. Take care of yourself mentally and physically, pamper yourslef from time to time, treat yourself like the special unique person that you are. You have the power to be whatever you want to be, it’s all a mindset.

Let’s stop and get ride of that marter syndrom and start living the purposeful life that you were intended to live. You were created for Greatness! Be it! Dream it and Dream BIG! Live your life to the fullest, follow your destiny.

You are Awesome!

Live, Love, Laugh,
