Realize that you were born awesome. The things you go thru are what make you think you're not - life trials, failures, sadness, etc.

But if you live thru them, and you wake up in the morning, then you're still awesome. And worth it.

I learned the phrase "I like myself unconditionally" and say it outloud EVERY morning to this day. For some reason I rarely have a bad day.

I show up - and I realize that's awesome. So I do my best - and then I know that's my awesome. :-D

Although I am no better (or worse) than anyone else, I have come to learn that I am ALWAYS right & this leads to my personal awareness of how AWESOME I AM

Before I started this journey I would just sit at my computer and game or FB :noway: ... but now that I'm on this journey I know to get off my butt and do something that brings me up which is now the treadmill. I head over to it, get my ipod plugged into my ears, turn on my work-out tunes that consist of artists like Christina Aguelara, Shawn Desman, LMFAO, Adele, and Rheanna then I let the music and the burn sweat all the negativity away.

I can't help but be picked up listening to the tunes ... only thing is I have to be careful on the treadmill if it lifts me up too much cause then I start doing the singing & walking that go along with my mood which means "Sexy and I know it" gets very animated and dangerous. :laugh:

OK so I while back, I went through a hugely bad breakup, took me forever to get over. I also at the same time was battling depression, and a lot of other family / home issues that led me to basically not be able to do anything. I had a hard time even getting out of bed. Ugh. Used to complain all day, and do nothing about it.

Then my friend suggested this to me. "so you want to be a motherf**king bada**?? then write yourself a sign, that says you are, and tape it above your bed. When you wake up, you won't forget." I'm like OK you're an idiot, but it can't hurt, 'cause I had no hope left.

so I tape this sign above my bed, with ZERO expectations. as if it's literally the most useless thing I've ever done. The next morning, I woke up, and saw it, and laughed at how ridiculous it was. Except - when I was laughing I felt good. So I got up. I did this for like a month, and eventually took it down, because I WAS a bada**.

Long story short, I've now moved across the country to work in film, and have a lovely apartment, and still struggle with some stuff, but it's OK. Know why? Cause I'm awesome. And I know how hard it was to get there.

As soon as I read your title I thought of Barney and for some reason the Limo episode where he plays his "Get Psyched" CD. Love that show!

People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl … It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.” —Gabourey Sidibe

I saw this one day. I decided it was a really good idea and chose to live my life by it. Never looked back. I chose to love myself unconditionally and treat me like the goddess i am. Best decision ever.

Sometimes we have to take those awful things and transform it into being awesome.

When I found out my father was dying of lung cancer at age 59 (I was just 29) I knew his journey was my journey too and it could either make me or break me. I decided to savor every single moment. The good, the bad, and the ugly. And ya know what, when it was all done just 7 short months later, I was all the better for it. I went thru this awful thing and somehow it gave me strength....to live my life every day without fear, to tell the ones I love how I feel, to have confidence in the decisions I have made in my life, to face and conquer everything with grace and dignity.

We have to learn what we can control versus what we cannot control. And perhaps the most important thing that we CAN control is our attitude. Is every day perfect? Hell no. But the knowledge that tomorrow is a new day and I have the opportunity to own it makes me thrive.

When I was just 20 and started my first full-time professional job my trainer said to me "Wow, you're this lucky girl who has never had a hard day in her life." It insulted me, I felt like I'd been thru a lot. Now, when people say that to me....nearly 14 years and a thousand tragedies later, I love it. Somehow, thru it all, I've held onto me.

I don't think about the past. REALLY REALLY HELPS. Also I get proud on what I've done today. I pat myself on the back for my half a stone weight loss so far. It's only a small step but it deserves a big 'Well done' so that I get many more results. Also I think (and see myself) at my goal weight.

As for betrayal and all that - it truly eats you up if you think about it. Don't think about it - past failures and past hurts do not define who you are, right now, in the moment. The only thing that defines you if how you think about yourself so make the thoughts good ones. I can clearly see myself at my goal weight wearing my goal outfit and that motivates me onwards to being the best version of me possible.

I want to thank you all for the responces, at this point in my life I'm battleing the world, and im scared to fail and be defated by my enemies, i know i have the Lord by my side, I hope he loves me even though I've commint a massive amount of mistakes, i've been begging the Lord for relief, but sometimes i feel alone in a world so cold, Im one of the stronges people I know, i have the world against me, but im still fighting... im just so scared... thanks for the kind words..

Honestly you just have to make decisions every day and set some goals to work toward. When life throws you curve balls, the best you can do is just that.
