My Story continuted:
From trial and error, I learned that beauty comes from doing the best you can, with what you have, and allowing your inner spirit to shine through. No one in High School would have ever believed that I would win any kind of contest, let alone a beauty pageant. But once again, you can’t let what people think about you, limit what you are meant to be. The opinions of others are clouded by the perspective in which they view you from. Have the courage to be who you were meant to be, not what others think you are.
You are so much more than numbers on a scale. Look at Hollywood, many stars have what the world says will make you happy, things like money, perfect bodies and fame. Keep in mind that most of these same people struggle to find happiness. They struggle with relationships, addictions and being insecure. If being thin and attractive does not equate to happiness, then what makes you think it will make your dreams come true? It is time to Get REAL, let go of any attachment to external features and see the big picture.
In the REAL world what actually matters is what you invest in yourself. Now is the time to start living a healthy lifestyle, not to be skinny, but to feel good and to live a long, strong and healthy life. By doing this, you give yourself the tools needed to find inner happiness and true beauty.
The key message I want to leave you with is, you have control over the YOU that you project. To exert this control you must start spending time investing in who you are, versus what you weigh or how you look. You waste energy when you approach your goals from the backside. True beauty comes from looking within and developing your special qualities.
No more feeling sorry for yourself. In the words of Joyce Meyer, “You can be pitiful or powerful but you can’t be both.” You get to choose which you will be. Consider that you are not a victim, you have the victory in you if you are ready to uncover your unique self. Invest in yourself daily and you will begin to uncover the true beauty that is within you and as a result, others will begin to see it too.
Remember this Get REAL Key Point: “It is only by changing how you treat yourself that you can change how other people will treat you!”
