Someone has to say this.
In case no one has told you, or in case you forgot:
You are not just enough,
you are MORE than enough.
You are the sun, radiating energy.
You are light in its purest form.
You are the universe.
Delete the “lol” at the end of your sentence.
Delete the “just”– you are not ‘just’ anything.
Delete the idea that you’re asking for too much.
You are a gift.
Excuse me, you are THE gift.
You are exactly what someone has prayed for.
You are a blessing.
You are powerful BEYOND measure.
Greatness flows through your veins.
Royalty is in your DNA.
Queen, adjust your crown.
Lift up your head.
Stop apologizing for taking up space.
Take up ALL of the space.
Don’t shrink to make others feel comfortable.
Their discomfort is a problem they have to work out with themselves.
You are worth all of the praise and attention.
You are worth 1,000 sweet kisses and encapsulating embraces.
You are worth being loved out loud.
You have the gravitational pull that keeps the planets in motion.
It is not your fault that your energy attracts cosmic dust, even though you’re worthy of the sun, the moon, AND the stars.
You are too valuable to be half-loved.
You are too valuable to be someone’s second choice.
You are too valuable to be an after-thought.
You are worth more than mediocrity disguised as Sunday’s best.
You deserve the world and shouldn’t settle for someone who refuses to treat you as the magic that you are.
Demand more, knowing that you are worth more.
Now, read this again.
This time, replace the “you” with “I” and repeat until the words resonate deep within your spirit.
Repeat these words when you forget.
Repeat this when the doubt creeps in.
Repeat, even when you’re feeling confident.
This very act of self love will lay the foundation and set the expectation, encouraging others to do the same.
