What I Like About Myself

I can list all the things I don’t like about myself, but if I’m serious about my vision and dreams, I’d be doing myself a disservice. So I’ll list the things I love about myself instead. With or without makeup, my heart beats the same way. We know who we really are, so why do we deny ourselves greatness? 

I work really hard! I look for the good in people and assume everyone has a little hurt, and some have a lot. My faith leads me in everything I do, but that doesn’t mean me and God don't bump heads. okay okay, more like, I bump heads with him, because He simply accepts me as I am. The Grace he gives me, it's beautiful. 

I like to think of myself as happy, and excited about life. Then real life happens and your beat changes pace unintentionally. It's like you want to scream, STOP! Stay excited, keep it up, and then time moves faster and on some days the voice becomes more distant and stopping is in the past. Integrity is everything to me. Everything. Behind closed doors, I snuggle with my kids, I get angry, I make mistakes, I love, I laugh (mainly at my own jokes) and I teach my kids above all, be good humans. I tell them not to be afraid to be the change. Don't be the norm. I do not fear difficult conversations, and I dream a lot. I envision the possibilities in life, but I get really fearful they’ll never happen. Those are the voices and fears God does not intend. 

Do you ever feel like that? Today, I’ll call myself beautiful, I will tell myself I am capable, today I will believe in myself and build myself up. Will you do this with me? We’ve got to count on ourselves before you can count on others. Let's get into this habit together. Believe in yourself and others. See the beauty in everyone, and tell them. But today let's start with telling yourself, I am beautiful. Will you call yourself beautiful with me?
