I am not sure what combination of words it takes to make people feel good about themselves.

But I’m working on it.

This is something that needs to be talked about much more often. I am surrounded by people I love who don’t love themselves completely or even at all. I often try to find ways that I think would help them embrace what makes them feel ugly physically or figuratively. I want everyone to know that, yes it is a lot of hard work, but there is nothing more important in the world than loving yourself. I think one thing that is stopping most people, which has been a huge part of my life, is the the phrase “I can’t”.

I remember the first time I realized I was using that phrase a lot and it took me a while, but once I stopped using it, and started saying “I can”, I was able to accomplish so much more.

This is most likely sounding really corny, but please trust me on this one. It is usually the most simple, corny things that help you out in life, even if just for a moment.

If you don’t believe me, challenge yourself. Stop saying “I can’t” and see if it changes your perspective.
