One of the things that is the most important that I am grateful for is the relationship I have created with myself. To many times as we are growing and getting older things may happen to us and we start to not like ourselves maybe even hate ourselves. I grew up hating myself and not really knowing where I belonged. I turned into an angry person for a while and I did not want to deal with where it was coming from. I tried to be happy and do all the right things; however when I was not dealing with my demons it all hit me at once. It truly is a horrible way to live.
When I started to deal with my demons and realize that I am not responsible for some things that happened to me, but I was responsible for how I dealt with it or in my case not dealing with it. I was introduced to a program called the Landmark Forum by an amazing woman Cathy Baldwin. I started to deal with myself and create an extraordinary relationship with myself. I learned that everything that was around me and the way my body looked was all about protecting myself from others, but I never could protect myself from me. I was horrible to myself, I said terrible things to myself I would not say to my worst enemy. I know that I am not alone in this, which is why so many women out there have trouble asserting and believing in themselves.
I still deal with myself all the time, but I have become such an extraordinary woman because of what I went through and took all of that and turned them into life lessons. I am now able to share with women all over the world to let them know that no matter what we are all beautiful and important. No matter what shape or size we are, God has made us all different and unique. It is up to us to discover that about ourselves, and I am that special girl who is going to help women all over the world realize that. When you have an un-wavering love relationship with yourself, no one person can tear you down or tell you different. That is when your life will change and all your dreams will come true. I know this for a fact because it is happening to me right now.
As I am writing I have tears in my eyes because I know it to be true. No one person can hurt me because I will never hurt myself. I will never allow or accept someone to treat me terrible or talk to me disrespectfully, because I no longer do it to myself. Love yourself fully. If you are not seeing the most beautiful women in the world when you look in the mirror, you are still not in a loving relationship with yourself. It takes time and it takes work...but you are worth it. When you can look at your whole self inside and out and see the most beautiful woman in the world, you will know at that moment you are arriving.
Love yourself; be kind to yourself and most of all see yourself as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Until we meet again my friends.
