We have bad days and we have good days. Sometimes if we're lucky, we have amazing, beautiful and wonderful days. No matter what kind of day you're having, or are bound to have, there are some things we should tell ourselves every day. These thirteen things are for you to remind yourself to love yourself so that others may love you as well.

1. "I am good."

I am a good person. I am human, therefore I have faults and flaws. There will always be someone trying to tear me down and tell me that I'm not a good person, but I will not believe them.

2. "I am beautiful."

Not just the kind of "I look good today." beautiful, but the "I am made in God's likeness and image, therefore I am beautiful today and every day." Never forget this.

3. "I am strong."

My strength is defined by the battles I've overcome and continue to overcome every day. Just because I have problems doesn't mean I am weak.

4. "I am loved."

I am loved when I make the biggest mistakes. I am loved when I have my greatest successes. I am loved, even when I don't realize that I am.

5. "I am important."

And anybody who treats me any less than that doesn't deserve my love and attention. Most importantly, they don't deserve to be a part of my life or affect my happiness.

6. "Today, I will rise above."

No matter who or what tries to bring me down today, I will be the bigger and better person. I will rise above the people that try to hurt me.

7. "I deserve more than a man who won't treat me right."

I will not settle for less than I deserve. I deserve to be someone's everything, not just a part of a man's life at his convenience.

8. "I am not perfect... I never will be...and that's okay."

Perfection is an unattainable goal. You will never have the perfect relationship, the perfect body or the perfect life. Embrace every curve ball life hands you. There's a reason for everything.

9. "I can do this."

Every day has its challenges. I can get through every single one of them. The sun will always rise and set again. Every day I get the chance to start over and for that, I am very grateful.

10. "God understands."

I know that I often tell myself "Nobody understands me."; I will no longer do this. I know that God understands me. He is with me during every trial and during every moment of every day.

11. "I am abundantly blessed."

I may not have the nicest car, designer clothes or purses. However, today, I woke up with a roof over my head, clothes to put on and shoes to wear, and most importantly with a beautiful life and great day ahead of me. I have jobs that I love, an education that will allow me to change the world and the most amazing support system. I am blessed.

12. "I have the ability to change lives."

And nobody can take that away from me. I have the ability to affect people's lives by simply being a Christ-like human being.

13. "Everyday may not be good, but there is good in every day."

Learn to have a good day every day, no matter what is thrown in your direction.

You are in control of your own life. There is only one person in the world who can make you happy...and that person is you.
