Being yourself is good enough.
By Abby Jamison — Written on Dec 16, 2017
Life can feel SO hopeless some days. No matter how many good things are happening around you, you still seem to have this dark cloud floating around with you, and it’s keeping you from living your best life.
You try to be yourself, but there is always something trying to bring you down; work, boys, drama.
You look at yourself in the mirror and you don’t like what you see. You never think your work is good enough, you never feel like you’re smart enough.
You’re sure that everyone trying to bring you down is right and everything about your life is WRONG. Next thing you know, you’re stuck in a rut that you can’t get out of.
You wish that you were someone else, ANYONE else because they could probably handle your screwed up life better than you can. But you’re wrong.

This is YOUR life. No one can do it better than you. No one knows exactly how strong and capable you are except you. You can do more than you think you can do and more than THEY think you can do. It's important that you be yourself.
Love your life despite the road bumps. Take each failure as a lesson and be happy that you’ve grown each and every day. Realize that although people will try and tear you down, your happiness is the BIGGEST revenge.
Life can be seriously hard but that doesn’t mean that you can’t be happy. You can be happy, unapologetically YOU despite anything and anyone bringing you down.
You will always have YOU, so you might as well love yourself despite it all! You need motivation. You need inspiration. You need POWERFUL words to propel you into the best and baddest boss babe EVER!
