When You Look In The Mirror, What Do You See?
How You See Yourself is so IMPORTANT! The purpose of this blog is to help young woman of all colors, shapes, and sizes begin to love themselves for who they are and to be confident for success in life. In middle school, I wanted to be three times lighter than I was in my face. My skin color was half brown on top and black on the bottom. I use to hate looking at myself in the mirror because I knew I was ugly. Kids would joke on me from time to time and I would joke back. But I knew they were ignorant, so I just ignored them but their words would float around my head up until the 11th grade. Starting the 11th grade some people left and I felt like I could breathe. I started to love myself and did not care about how people felt about me.WORDS+IMAGE+THINK+ACT+HABITS= DESTINY!Do not let peoples WORDS, get to you because hurt people-hurt people. The person who is trying to bring your confidence down, is hurting in the inside too! They want to be loved and accepted! If you take their WORDS and agree, then you are creating an IMAGE, of yourself that is not true! You would start to look in the mirror and see the IMAGE they created for you. Trying new activities or careers, you would start to doubt yourself. You would start to THINK, "oh, I'm not good enough". Your behavior would start to change. You would start to ACT, upon the WORDS they said about you. If they said you were stupid, then you would start ACTING stupid. Then these random HABITS, of the things the person said about you start appearing. You start to do things, you never have done before. After all this is accepted into your life, your DESTINY changes quickly. Maybe you were suppose to be the first female President, but you took those WORDS, started to create an IMAGE, begin to constantly THINK, then ACT, began annoying HABITS and your DESTINY change. You are now the employee of the month at McDonald's, congratulations! 👎 It can be so simple, you never know where someones words may lead you. Love yourself, Be who you are meant to be. Do not accept any words that hurt and break you down. They say that you are stupid, you turn it around and say I am intelligent! Turn every negative into a positive. Do not choose the destiny, they have spoken over you. How You See Yourself is very Important!

The struggle of self-love and self-acceptance is something that everyone can identify with. I guess the question is, what’s worse- the battles that we fight internally with ourselves or the battles that we fight against society and the false norms that they set?
