At a certain point, we sometimes have to admit that we do not love ourselves as much as we pretend to. We look for acceptance and affirmation from others because we do not value or appreciate ourselves as much as much as we should. I have struggled with insecurity for as long as I can remember and truly understand how uncomfortable it can be living in ones own skin. Very often, I allow myself to feel like I am not good enough. Not good enough to be loved. Not good enough for success. Not good enough to manifest every dream I harbor in my heart.
As each New Year presents a great opportunity for change, I have spent a lot of time thinking about who I am and what I want my life to be. I am determined to reach a point where I treat every day like New Year’s Day. I want each day to represent the best of my efforts to build the future I truly want to walk into. Each morning, I want to wake up with excitement for the day ahead. Each night, I want to go to sleep knowing that if I didn’t wake up, I would be satisfied with how I spent my last day on Earth.
For every dream and crazy ambition, I am beginning to look at myself and say: If not me, then who? If not now, then when? I am fearlessly and marvelously made, crafted by The Great I Am. And since tomorrow is never promised, I will live each day in integrity and love, and I will enjoy each moment as a blessing from above.
