This title alone can sometimes seem like a daunting task, especially when you have been made to feel less than your entire life. Every person on earth was created with a purpose and gifts that are unique to them. Sure there are similar people, but just like snowflakes not one person is the same as another. You are worthy of great things, you are worthy of happiness. God don't make trash!
Sometimes we have to have someone prove our worth to us, or have God prove it. I find it is better to prove it to yourself. You have to start by not being overly critical of yourself. Everyone has flaws and it is important to remember that.
Learning to love yourself and be happy with you in the place you are in now, is an important thing to do. Now when I say be happy with you in the place you are, doesn't mean you can't improve on who you are, or that you don't acknowledge your flaws and try to work on them. You have to be ok with you in spite of your inperfections and it makes it easier to move on and work on your personal needs.
I would encourage you to make a list of all the things that are wonderfully unique to you. I will share my list with you and maybe it will help to start yours.
My list of my gifts
1. people are always envious of my hair
2. I have a good singing voice
3. I have a caring heart
4. I am funny
5. I am smart
6. my family are wonderful people
7. I have a son who is always clothed fed and taken care of.
8. I have a passion for those who are hurting
9. I have been given a great church family
10.I have been through hell and survived
Notice that very few things on this list have something to do with what other people think. The only one is my hair, I put that on here, because I am always so critical about my hair, but I have always had people say they wished they had the thick wavy hair that I have (they can have it lol) but it is a gift, I could be bald.
I know if I took the time my list would be longer, but alot of these things don't get thought about when I am hating myself because of whatever reason.
It is so important to remember that the way you look can always change but who you are as a person doesn't always and although you can change things in your life you will always be you, so you have to learn to be happy with that. You can get plastic surgery but then you will find another problem, you can lose weight but then discover something else you don't like about you. Until you learn that you are great now, making changes in your life will not work.
