Believe In Yourself...

You are powerful when you believe in
yourself – when you know that you are
capable of anything you put your mind to.
You are beautiful when your strength and
determination shines as you follow your
own path – when you aren’t disheveled by
the obstacles along the way. You are
unstoppable when you let your mistakes
educate you, as your confidence builds from
experiences – when you know you can fall
down, pick yourself up, and move forward.
Here are 11 ways to become the person you
love.
1. Stop judging, and appreciate the beauty
within you. – Judging yourself is not the
same as being honest with yourself. When
it comes to living as a compassionate, non-
judgmental human being, the only challenge
greater than learning to walk a mile in
someone else’s shoes, is learning to walk a
lifetime comfortably in your own. In every
smile there is beauty. In every heart there is
love. In every mind there is wisdom. In
every human being there is a soul, there is
life, there is worth, and there is the ability to
see all these things in everyone, including
one’s self. Read The Mastery of Love .
2. Treat yourself the way you want others to
treat you. – Accept yourself! Insecurity is
what’s ugly, not you. Be you, just the way
you are, in the beautiful way only you know
how. The way you treat yourself sets the
standard for others. You must love who you
are or no one else will either. And when you
are truly comfortable in your own skin, not
everyone will like you, but you won’t care
about it one bit.
3. Care less about who you are to others. –
Don’t lose YOU in your search for acceptance
by others. Be aware that you will always
appear to be a little less than some people
prefer you to be, but that most people are
unaware that you are so much more then
what they see. You are good enough just
the way you are. You have nothing to prove
to anyone else. Care less about who you are
to others and more about who you are to
yourself.
4. Know your worth. – We often accept the
love we think we deserve. It makes no
sense to be second in someone’s life, when
you know you’re good enough to be first in
someone else’s.
5. Don’t rush intimate relationships. – Love is
not about sex, going on fancy dates, or
showing off. It’s about being with a person
who makes you happy in a way nobody else
can. You don’t need a perfect one, you just
need someone who you can trust – who
shows you that you’re the only one. If you
haven’t found true love yet, don’t settle.
There is someone out there who will love
you unconditionally, even if it’s not the
person you were initially hoping for.
6. Let go of those who aren’t really there. –
There are certain people who aren’t meant
to fit into your life no matter how much you
want them to. And the only ones truly
worthy of your love are the ones who stand
with you through the hard times and laugh
with you after the hard times pass. Maybe a
happy ending doesn’t include anyone else
right now. Maybe it’s just you, on your own,
picking up the pieces and starting over,
freeing yourself for something better in the
future. Maybe the happy ending is simply
letting go.
7. Forgive yourself and others. – Of all the
things that can be stolen from you – your
possessions, your youth, your health, your
words, your rights – what no one can ever
take from you is your freedom to choose
what you will believe in, and who and what
your heart will love going forward. Life
begins where your fear and resentment
ends. Just because someone hurt you
yesterday, doesn’t mean you should hate the
world, or start living life today in constant
fear of being hurt tomorrow. When you
forgive yourself and others, and stop the
inner imprisonment, you’re creating the love
of your life. Read The Tao of Pooh .
8. Focus on the positive. – Do not let the pain
make you hopeless. Do not let the negativity
wear off on you. Do not let the bitterness
steal your sweetness. Even though others
may disagree with you, take pride in the fact
that you still know the world is a beautiful
place. Change your thoughts and you
change your reality. Our thoughts are the
makers of our moods, the inventors of our
dreams, and the creators of our will. That is
why we must sort through them carefully,
and choose to respond only to those that
will help us build the life we want, and the
outlook we want to hold as we’re living it.
9. Believe in the person you are capable of
being. – The real purpose of your life is to
evolve and grow into the whole person you
are capable of being. Have a mind that is
open to everything and attached to
nothing. Change really is always possible –
there is no ability that can’t be developed
with experience. Don’t ever let your
negative beliefs stand in the way of your
own improvement. Read A New Earth .
10. Work on goals you believe in. – Never put
off or give up on a goal that’s important to
you. Not because you still have tomorrow to
start or try again, but because you may not
have tomorrow at all. Life is shorter than it
sometimes seems. Follow your heart today.
11. Keep looking and moving straight
forward. – Moving on doesn’t mean you
have forgotten; it means you have accepted
what happened in the past and choose to
continue living in the present. Moving on
doesn’t mean you’re giving up; it means
you’re giving yourself another chance by
making a choice to be happy rather than
hurt. Through all the problems you have
faced, the burdens weighing down on your
shoulders, the pain in your heart, you have
only one thing to say, “I survived and I now
know better for next time.”
In the end, loving yourself is about enjoying
your life, trusting your own feelings, taking
chances, losing and finding happiness,
cherishing the memories, and learning from
the past. Sometimes you have to stop
worrying, wondering, and doubting. Have
faith that things will work out, maybe not
exactly how you planned, but just how it’s
meant to be.
