As we grow up and begin to form our lives over the years, we already understand and know that it is not easy. There are always people bringing you down, telling you what to do, or telling you negative things about yourself. Sometimes it is hard to grow in a world full of hardships and you may struggle but no matter what life throws you, you must never lose faith in the world and most importantly yourself. Learn from mistakes you make and take strength from battles you face to better form your life and you as a person. Now as we build into the adults we are there are three important things we must never forget but also pass down to future generations of children as well:

1.Your purpose is worth more than you will ever know.

Every single life you encounter is here for a reason and meant to be here, including your own. You hold so much power within your heart and soul and so much light and that is something nobody can ever take away from you. If you ever have people belittling you, bringing you down, or making you feel worthless just know that those people do not and will never matter. You are kinder and you are better because you know you would never want to make anyone suffer pain, especially the pain that certain someone put you through. You have a whole life’s purpose to fulfill and your life will fall into place with time. This journey is not easy but I promise it is worth the ride as long as you work your hardest, pursue your passions, and most importantly always keep kindness in your heart and help someone every single chance you get. You are here for a reason so make the absolute best out of your lifetime.

2. You are as strong as you want to be.

Strength does not always mean something physical. Strength is not your appearance or who is stronger than who. Strength is how much capacity you handle when a battle is thrown your way. Strength is your ability to hold your head up high and never change who you are even if everything around you is crashing down. Strength is taking tough situations and growing from them and learning how to make yourself and the world better. Strength is staying strong even when people try to tear you down, but you don’t let them. Strength is having the wisdom to walk away from people or situations that are no longer healthy for your life. You can be as strong as you want to be. The question that stands is how strong will you choose to be the next time life gets tough?

3. Loving yourself is the best thing you can do for you.

With a world full of people, you are never alone. You have your family and friends and certain people you know will never leave your side. The truth is no matter who you have standing by you, sometimes there comes a point where everyone feels alone. You may question yourself as a person or doubt your overall internal and external appearances. You may let someone’s words alter the way you see yourself. The most important thing to learn is that no matter what happens, you truly always must love yourself. At the end of the day you are all you have and only you can take care of yourself and get you where you need to be. When you start to love yourself, your love becomes contagious and everything else falls into place. Every single person is beautiful, important, and special in their own ways. No one can every take away your beauty, heart, and soul. You are one of a kind so please always, love yourself.
