Pep-Talk

I needed a pep-talk today. The holidays are always difficult and I refuse to let them get me down. So, I am sharing with you my pep-talk, just in case you need one as well.

Stop and take a look around you. Most people in this world are content to stay right where they are with their relationships, careers, and happiness. Not you – you are out there finding inspiration. You are reading, and researching ways to make you and your life better. That is so impressive and confirms that you will excel in life. People admire people like you.

Acknowledge how far you have come. There are so many others that have been abused that never had the strength to move on and search for happiness. (We continue to hope and pray for them.) You have found your strength inside of you! One bad day, or month, doesn’t mean a thing. A lifetime of fighting and winning the battle is the true testament to your resiliency.

And lastly, you are beautiful. Yes, you really are! Your belief in life and in yourself shines through the clouds that haze our vision. You continue to grow yourself because deep down, you know you are worth the fight.

Stay Strong!
