1. You are Beautiful and Brilliant
You are a gem. Every day, look yourself in the mirror and say, “you are beautiful, smart and special” – and then believe it…because it’s true. Own it. Breathe it. Live it. Once you believe it, no one will ever be able to make you feel ugly, stupid or insignificant. Believe you are gorgeous, even with all of your flaws. Anyone who tries to make you feel ugly hasn’t yet recognized the true beauty within themselves. Don’t be who you think you’re supposed to be – be who you are.
