I hope at some point that every girl can come to know the love that God has for each one of them. True confidence and loving your body comes from virtue. source: lds.org/youth
Meet Alex Cubby Teen girl, started basically where I did and she keeps going. It was so inspiring to see that she did it!! She kept fighting!!! HUGE shoutout to you Alex! Thank you! Watch her video, especially the end with before and after pictures! One day after talking to a good friend about mistakes,
He reminded me that we all make them. He went on to say that so many people, especially girls and women spend their lives beating themselves up over mistakes that have been in the past for quite some time. After he said this to me, a red flag shot up in my mind. I beat myself up on a daily basis. Whether I'm mad because my math test didn't work out, or I'm mad that I said something wrong, or maybe I wasn't pretty enough today. The list goes up and my happiness goes down. So, I stopped. We always hear things like, "avoid gossip" "only speak kindly of others" "be kind to those around you" "treat others the way you want to be treated" Well I don't think you'll be quite successful at being nice if you can't even be nice to yourself. Finding a solution to all this self-doubt is a personal thing. I found mine through my religion. I realized that God loved me, and sent me to this earth. And he sent me here to feel joy. I was the only thing in the way of my relationship with God and myself. He is NEVER silent. It is us who build up the walls that only we can tear back down. So I started tearing. It is an everyday work in progress, but brick by brick, I am that much closer!!! |
