My girlfriend is starting a segment on her blog about, being your own kind of beautiful. She has asked several women to write a post for her on what makes you a beautiful, confident women. I started thinking about this a lot, and so far these are my thoughts.
PEACE
I love this quote about being at peace no matter our situation, this to me means being happy with ourselves no matter what situation we are in. My goal this next year is to learn about me, understand me, and use this understanding to become a very confident person and to be comfortable with who I am and to LOVE who I am.
Our confidence CANNOT come from somewhere else, from someone else, it has to come from within.
Today was a rough day for me, a lot of contention in my home, but after a long walk in the snow and doing the dishes, I found peace, I found happiness amongst all the hate and turmoil, it was in those moments, I found my strength and realized who I was and how strong of a women I am! Writing is such an outlet for me. I am not a good writer, I would love to be, it is fun to read things that people write that make you laugh, cry and connect. Maybe that will come the more I practice, or maybe not.
KNOW YOU ARE A DAUGHTER OF GOD,
HE LOVES YOU!!
YOU HAVE A PURPOSE ON THIS EARTH!
YOU ARE SPECIAL!!
HAVING THAT TESIMONY WILL MAKE YOU CONFIDENT.
If you don't believe me, get down on your knees and pray. Ask your Heavenly Father if he loves you. He will tell you, I have done this. I KNOW with out a doubt my Heavenly Father loves me and is aware of me. Having this perfect knowledge makes me a stronger more confident women.
If you honestly look into the mirror and do not believe you are beautiful, it is time to do some soul searching, make some changes.
LOVE WHO YOU ARE!
Be at peace with yourself.
You are a daughter of God and you are beautiful. Our Heavenly Father did not make anything ugly.
DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS!!!
I have tons of crafty friends who love to make things and they are good at it.
I think it is cool, but guess what, I am seriously handicap in that department ( I need to post a picture of my blue bobie pin flower, yea I humored my friends and tried to be crafty.) So do I feel bad, less adequate, jealous, envious of them because they can do it and I CANNOT. NO WAY! That is not me. I tell them, you are the ones who create it, I am the one who buys it. If you didn’t have people like me in the world than everyone would make their own things and you would have no one to sell them to.
SO BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL!
Look at yourself, dig deep, find out who you are, what your strengths are and who you want to be. If you have a strong desire to develop a talent that doesn't come naturally, DO IT, if after lots of practice you find out it is just impossible to perfect that talent, THAT IS OK, focus on something else and don’t beat yourself up for it!!!
Those are my thoughts so far and I will let you know when my girlfriend starts posting.
I found another blog post today on this topic. Check it out here.
Now go look in the mirror and tell yourself, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!
