4 Reasons Why You're Worthy Of Your Own Love

We have always been told that high self-esteem will lead to a fulfilling life. If you are truly happy with yourself then no one else can change that.

But too many people confuse self-worth and self-esteem, and that’s a problem. Of course its a good thing to think and feel good about ourselves. But what happens the moment we don’t?

Just because you don’t feel good about yourself doesn’t mean you aren’t valuable. But so many people believe that’s how it works!

Instead of trying so hard to “feel good” about ourselves, isn’t it better to already know our “self” is good?

That’s the key difference between self-esteem and self-worth. Self-worth is already knowing that you are valuable, regardless of how you feel about yourself that day.

Sometimes it can be a struggle balancing your life between confidence and completely accepting yourself, and that’s OK! It takes people so many years to finally find their sense of self-worth.

But I’m here to help you get a head start on that.

Here are 4 simple reasons why you are worthy and valuable…

1. Because your past doesn’t matter.

It's done and over with! There is no point in staying in the past; pick up your thoughts and run forward.

2. Because the Universe created you.

You cannot be anything other than worthy. Realize that the Universe brings things and does things for a bigger purpose. It's no accident you're the way you are, you are perfect!

3. Because if you remove judgment from your heart and mind you’ll realize what you’re worth.

All the small things in the back of you’re mind telling you otherwise are just that, little and unimportant. The answer is simple: If you get rid of your inner judgement now, you’ll find your true, biggest worth.

4. Because you said so.

Do you know your mind doesn't know the difference between a lie and the truth? Tell yourself that you are worthy enough times. Sooner or later its bound to catch up with you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
