you have value
Believe in yourself even when it seems that no one else believes in you.
Love yourself even when it looks as if the rest of the world hates you.
Be yourself even when those around you are trying to change you.
And keep your smile even as others try to turn it upside down.
Believe in yourself no matter what!
It means refusing to stay around people who don’t.
It means eliminating drama from your life.
It means not settling for less than you deserve.
It means having the willingness to be alone rather than to put up with shoddy treatment.
It means loving yourself enough to know when it’s time to walk away.
It means not caring what others think or say of you.
It means embracing the dislike of a few people who don’t matter anyhow.
It means letting go of toxic people, even if we love them, and not being concerned with the outcome.
It means having the guts to say “no” and saying it without guilt.
It means being nit-picky of the people you let in your life.
It means being a bitch when the situation calls for it.
It means not feeling guilty about putting yourself first and being a little selfish.
It means giving yourself a margin for error- allowing yourself to make mistakes and to learn from them.
It means not being afraid to fail.
It means embracing the good, bad, and downright ugly parts of yourself.
It means being comfortable in your skin.
But most of all, it means freedom! The freedom to be human! And to celebrate yourself!

I won’t kid you. Being alone can sometimes make a person vulnerable. However, being surrounded by negative people makes you just as vulnerable if not more so. Therefore, being alone can be much better than keeping company with spiteful people who only bring you down.
As difficult as it may be, sometimes you must weed out all these ungrateful souls who don’t see your worth to make room for more positive, caring and loving people to come in.
Get rid of anyone who makes you feel bad about yourself and only keep company with those who love and respect you. Keep the people in your life who value your opinions, even when those opinions are strong.
If someone is not treating you like you deserve to be treated, never be afraid to let them go, even if it seems that they’re your only options at the moment.
Remember that we must do things that don’t feel comfortable and that are downright scary for any positive change to happen.
Positive change requires that we take risks!
