Your worth is determined by you.

To The Girl Who Is Feeling 'Worthless,' This Is For You

We've all been there, at the lowest point in our life where we feel like nothing has meaning.

We start doubting who we are as a person and no matter the positive words that people say for motivation, they simply don't tend to stick and this is why:

Our worth is not determined by others, but it starts with you and it starts with a simple decision.

It begins with your mentality and how well you manage your thoughts and knowing yourself as a person.

If you allow negative thoughts to infiltrate in your mind and tell you that you are not worth anything, then it will do its damage. It will start affecting the people around you that you care about, and most importantly, your life as well.

These negative thoughts will reflect the actions that you take for the rest of your life!

Let that sink in for just a moment, and with that in mind, make a choice today and decide whether you will let these negative thoughts change your viewpoint of who you are or not.

You can make a decision to pick yourself up and eliminate those negative thoughts and turn them into something positive and productive.

Erase the word, "worthless," from your mind and embrace yourself — love yourself and your values — because at the end of the day nobody will do it for you.

Change the person who you see everyday in the mirror and start viewing your body, your imperfections, and everything that makes you who you are into something that you love.

Before loving anybody else, learn to love yourself and your own values.

I get it, it's hard, and it's going to be a process! But, you have a purpose in life that you will soon come to terms with, through learning about your mistakes and learning about yourself as a person.

You might not know why you may be feeling these emotions of pain and worthlessness, but remember that at the end of the day it just comes down to you and how you decide to change your thoughts.

You're a warrior and you can decide if you would like to free yourself from a mentality of, "worthlessness," and embrace, "worth."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
