You are a unique combination of experiences,
Perspectives,
Values,
Talents,
And strengths.
Of all the people in the world,
There is not one person exactly like you.
You are a rare and valuable gem.
Flaws,
Faults,
Failures,
And all.
You are special.
Just the fact that you are still standing,
Still trying,
Still fighting for your dreams and goals,
Still finding joy in big things and small,
Still sticking out things to strive for and laugh about in spite of everything.
That's your evidence.
Remember that one old story is playing in your head and consume you with worry that you should give up because of every real and imagined thing you think is wrong with you or your life.
Play new stories.
Let them tell you how much your life and your happiness are worth fighting for,
No matter what has happened in your past.
No matter what comes your way,
Remember that there is nothing common about you.
You are special and you are equal to any challenge.
You can make changes and new habits where you want them.
You can change your mind about what is possible for you and your life.
It matters not what anyone else around you has accomplished.
You are uniquely you.
You will bring your unique talents,
Strengths and experiences to this task.
You can do it.
You may have to stop,
Rest,
Get help and regroup to get through,
But you are equal to this challenge and get through is exactly what you will do.
You have what it takes to show up and do your life.
And so it is.
