Myth Debunked; You are Good Enough!

Something in which I've come to learn about over the past year is a very common myth that I believe we all turn to and think about, dwell on, or are even convinced by from time to time. This myth that I'm referring to is that voice in your head or maybe even a physical person that tells you that your not good enough. We all know what it feels like not to be accepted in one way or another and being honest, not being accepted, not being wanted, maybe even someone tossing you to the curb and seemingly replacing you with someone they feel is "better" . This hurts and while every person experiences it and therefore feels it differently, I think it's safe to say we all know that hurt somehow. Tonight I want to debunk this myth of not being good enough. First of all, I don't care who you are or what mistakes you've made or where you are in your life right now. YOU are GOOD ENOUGH! Every person on this earth is here for a reason and no person has the right to tell someone else any different! I know saying this won't keep it from happening, but my hope is that after reading this, it will be engraved in your brain that you aren't only good enough, you are valued, you are beautiful and you are worth it! You are worth time, you are worth effort, and you have a God given right to live your life knowing you are loved and wanted. People will try to tell you different, but by doing so they don't get to drag you down, they are only pulling themselves down. If someone tosses you to the curb and seemingly replaces you, please don't blame yourself. Look at it this way, if someone does that then it isn't your loss, yes it will hurt no doubt but that's because your human and as humans we feel things. If it's that easy for someone to say goodbye then let them because as much as it hurts, they weren't meant to be in your life and I can promise you, I may not know you but others do and the not only the people who do know you, but the people who will in the future, they will love you. You will find your people who build you up and know you for who you are, the people that support you and fight for you, and honest truth, sometimes we have to lose people in order to make room for the ones who will soon mean the most. You will find your people, but first you need to not only find yourself but know yourself, so please above all tonight... Know that you are worth it! Know that no matter what your mind says, no matter what other people say, you are good enough! You are amazing! You are here for a reason and you have the right to live your life with the knowledge you are loved and wanted! And in case someone hasn't told you tonight, I may not know you but your a creation of God and therefore I love you and so do a million other people, sleep well knowing that tonight <3

Be Good to Yourself!

Everyone deals with stress in life no matter how young or old you may be. I know this is a topic I've touched on several times, this is due to the fact it is an ever changing, ever growing concept. Stress is constantly coming in seemingly endless forms. The specific aspect of stress that I want to focus on today is the fact that when were stressed, we typically take that stress out on ourselves. This is pertaining to how we treat our bodies, both physically and mentally when were stressed. I have experienced this a lot lately. Junior year has been crazy as I'm sure most of you know either from past experience or current. There's stress on getting grades that colleges will accept, ACT/SAT, getting volunteer hours, internships, upholding a job, playing sports or being active in school clubs, and so much more on top of trying to stay sane... In my most recent experience, I have come to the conclusion that when I'm stressed there are times that I'm not good to my body. ...

Love Yo Selfie

Often times when you think about "love", where does your mind go? For some of us it might be the love shared between a couple or a family, friends etc. Rarely however do we think about ourselves. The world can feel like its spinning a million miles an hour, I know mine is. We spend so much time making sure everyone else is okay that we often times neglect ourselves. We love everyone and try to make sure they know that, but what about making sure we know we love ourselves? That were happy with who we are? You may be thinking I've gone crazy right now trying to tell you to love yourself lol. I'm serious though, we are our biggest critics and I feel like we spend so much time critiquing ourselves that we forget to be happy with who we are. We tend to excuse mistakes of ones we care  about, as we should but then we dwell on our own mistakes and let them tear us apart. We need to show ourselves the compassion we show others and we need to be comfortable with who we are as ...

Learning to Praise in the Midst of Pain

Many of you have probably heard the saying "Learn to dance in the rain". Personally that quote is one of my favorites because of its versatility, it can apply to anything from the smallest complication to the biggest catastrophe. On thing that we don't usually remember though, is to praise God when things go wrong. We always thank him and praise him when he blesses our lives and lets things go right in our eyes., but how about when things go wrong? I think often times when things go wrong we draw away from the Lord when really he's asking us to draw more near. God has a reason for everything and his perfect plan for our lives will prevail with our cooperation. So that being said, things may be going "bad" in our minds but if that a part of God's plan for us then things really can't be that bad.  When we learn to praise God even in the times we want to crumble, it shows our devotion and it causes us to lean more prominently on the Lord and less on wor...
