Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Freckles

Just a thought...

My niece had this posted on her blog and I love it. Quite frequently I go through moments where I hate things about me and my appearance and I saw this during one of those times. Thanks for sharing it Allyse!


Freckles by Natasha Bedingfield

I used to care so much about what others think about
I almost didn’t have a thought of my own.
The slightest remark would make me embark on the journey
Of self-doubt, but that was a while ago.
This girl has got stronger, and if I knew then what I know now,
I would’ve told myself don’t worry any longer, it’s ok

Cause a face without freckles is like the sky without the stars.
Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable-
They show your personality- inside your heart,
Reflecting who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
With the whole world full at my feet
I felt unworthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness
I could see, when the mirror looked at me
Sometimes I still feel like that little girl who doesn’t belong
In her own world
But I'm getting better I'm reminding myself

Cause a face without freckles is like the sky without the stars.
Why waste a second, not loving who you are?
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable
They show your personality, inside your heart,
Reflecting who you are
