To the girl who doubts herself: you are a force to be reckoned with! But, you don’t have to feel like a badass every day. It’s okay to feel sad and worn down: that’s a part of life! You’ll pick yourself back up again and carry on with your success.

To the girl who doubts herself: you’re more than good. You’re great. You’re smart. You’re talented. You are doing exactly what you need to, and if you don’t feel that way, you can change it. If you don’t like your college major, you can change it. If you don’t like your body weight, you can change it. Never feel like you’re stuck in whatever situation you’re in now. Embrace your talents, and embrace change, because sometimes, change is for the better.

To the girl who doubts herself: focus on the positive, not the negative. Yes, it is easier said than done, but if you find three things to be happy about in a day, then your day will be ultimately better. Try it: you may be pleasantly surprised.

To the girl who doubts herself: sometimes there are things you cannot control, and that is okay. That is life. Sometimes, you can’t have everything you want. The things you will receive in life will come from your hard work, your passion, and your dedication to the task. If you don’t love the job you’re interviewing for, it will show. If you don’t love the class you’re in, your grade could reflect it. Remember you can drop that class, and you can find another job. Just continue working hard, and good things will come your way.

To the girl who doubts herself: I know life seems dark and dreary sometimes, but in my opinion, challenges are presented to help you determine how much you love something, how much you want to do it, and how much you want to stick with it. Challenges are learning opportunities, so take them with an open mind when they come. And they will come: life isn’t without its fair share of obstacles.

To the girl who doubts herself: try surrounding yourself with positive relationships. If you’re friends and family don’t believe in your abilities, you will never be able to.

Finally, to the girl who doubts herself: it’s so easy to feel like you aren’t good at anything you do, or you don’t have enough talent, but I promise you that is a lie. You are always good enough, you are unique, you are lovely, and you are unapologetically yourself. That is more than enough proof to show you’re good enough. You can do this, and I believe in you! Your weaknesses will become your strength, your doubt will become confidence, and your fear will become your secret weapon. Channel these into your work, control your fear and doubt and make them something you can use, something you can channel into a positive attribute. Remember: you are loved, you are appreciated, and you are talented.

Now go get ‘em, girl!
