I have something GREAT to offer the world!

I don't think I have ever felt so at peace in all of my life.  It's so ironic because I have the least amount of materialistic "things" than I have had in my entire adult life. 

But happiness has nothing to do with "things" and it is not a destination! 

PEACE OF MIND IS PRICELESS AND I CAN'T EXPRESS THAT CONCEPT TO ANYONE ENOUGH! I've always known that I can do anything that I put my mind to. On the other hand, there is  that little inkling of doubt that attempts to comfortably live "rent free" in my subconscious.  anxiety

I think the turning point in my way of thinking that saved my life was when I made an entire list of everything that I love about myself. (Not what other people loved about me, but what I loved for myself). 

 I didn't allow myself to use any contraindicating words; no conjunctions! (NO, IF, AND'S OR BUT'S ABOUT IT).  I most definitely removed the word "CAN'T" from my vocabulary! The moment that you say you can't you won't!

When I feel doubtful now, I turn to things that make me feel more grateful; more happy. Rather it be a podcast, a funny standup session, a feel good song, positive affirmations or just walking outside. I do whatever it takes to make me feel like I'm constantly evolving into the BEST person that I can be. I no longer worry about what my life may LOOK like to other people. I pour into MYSELF the way that I used to freely pour the best parts of myself into others! "I CAN'T POUR FROM AN EMPTY VESSEL!" I also have nothing to give to those who have nothing to give back to me. I have everything that I need within me and if I requite, I can acquire! 

As I always say, nothing in this life is perfect. It feels so great to know that I am the person that is in control of my happiness and success! The things that I know have been taught lessons instead of bought ones and I celebrate my wisdom even if it hurt once up on a time. I embrace my journey; it's unique. 

I am so grateful for how protective I am of myself right now. I no longer tolerate disrespect in any form. I have learned to set boundaries and adhere to them no matter who may be involved. I no longer ponder on how others may feel after I choose to stand up for myself. I have learned to be direct without being disrespectful. 

I AM THE MASTER OF MY DESTINY! I can remember a time when I treated everyone well except for myself. 

(CRAZY)!! 

  I could effortlessly love others even when he or she wronged me. Yet I would have the most difficult time loving myself; forgiving myself.  I would often times say that I loved myself but my actions proved otherwise. 

I CAN GENUINELY SAY NOW: "I LOVE MYSELF."  I no longer feel like a stranger in my own body. I no longer feel imprisoned in my own mind. My transparency helps others navigate through life in a way that lets them know that they too are not alone. I have trust issues but I trust myself!  I can express myself in a positive way and still be vulnerable. My hardships and shortcomings are someone else's road map in life. It is an honor to have made it this far, to still be in my right mind, in good health, free and favored. 

I am enough as  I am!

I believe in myself! 

I allow nothing to break me! 

I have so many amazing things to offer to the world. 

The world has so much beauty to offer me! 

Selfishness is not at all selfish when it comes to taking care of self. 

I am worthy of being celebrated. 

I am not my anxiety. 

I am not my mistakes. 

I am valued

 I love being me & I choose HAPPINESS!
