The Little Voice In My Head

This is one of the best, truest quotes I have ever read. The saying goes though, "Easier said than done." I've lived a long majority of my life with that voice that keeps saying "You can't do it." "They'll all laugh at you." "Stop making a fool of yourself." "You're not good enough." And in no way shape or form am I possibly going to tell you that that voice has gone away for me. It is definitely still there. But I had to train, and fight, through many years, many tears, and many times of almost giving up... I had to train to add another voice in there... who is day by day becoming the stronger voice. The one that says "You CAN do it." "Give it one more try." "So what if they laugh? You probably would too if roles were reversed." "Just have fun, who cares what they think." "You are more than good enough."
It's really easy to make yourself the victim. To say, "Well, this is everything that is going wrong in my life, and this is everything I don't have in my life, that it seems like everybody else has." Anybody can do that at any point in their life. But you can't give into that demon inside you. You have to fight every day.
I used to have to fight to get myself out of bed... I would cry endlessly asking myself "Why can't I just hop out of bed and be happy that it's another day like everybody else..?" But that's really not the case. Everybody has their off days, or even weeks... but they don't let that consume them. They can't. And I know that you would rather not be living life that way. Honestly, nobody is going to just come up and save you. Unfortunately, people aren't there for each other like that.. You need to be your own best friend, your own hero, your own inspiration. You need to love yourself 100% each and every day of your life. It's absolutely a dog eat dog world out there...Everybody wants to be better than the person next to them. And I'll be the first to admit... I have my "frienemies" or even just enemies. I'm still a people pleaser. Like I said, it's a day after day battle for happiness, confidence, and acceptance. There is  no sure-fire one way that I can tell you, and the person who read this before you, and the person who will read this after, that you can do something to live your best life and be happy always and thrive. We are all different and we all get through things in different ways. All I can tell you, 100% is that it's going to be a battle, a daily battle for the rest of your life. But each day you will get stronger. Just remember you have to make a daily decision to love yourself, you have to make a decision every day to be happy, and accept yourself... and once all of that comes into place, confidence will just naturally grow. I'm sorry I don't have a step by step program or anything, but that's not something logical at all..
Through my journey writing this blog...I'll try to help as much as I can... but it's completely up to you.... Be your own hero.

Until next time..
