Words can be a way to bring you down and make you feel bad. They can also help pick yourself up and bring you to do something great. Please make sure the words you use are the right words. It can be tough if someone uses words to bring you down. Just brush it off yourself and understand that it always has everything to do with them and they are just taking it out on you. When someone says something positive and great about you it makes a difference. If it is someone we respect, it will usually have a stronger impact. We can also make sure and spend some time each day stating some things that we like about ourselves. It is important that our brains hear these positive messages. They will notice the pattern and start to believe it. It can be a part of your conscious and sub-conscious when you make it a routine, and this can help build your self-esteem over time. You just must understand and know yourself and believe that you can be great and do important things. To push out the hate in our lives, all we need to do is bring in love. We do much better under positive circumstances, so why not build yourself up positively from within. This will also make you stronger when the tough times come up because you will have a positive foundation built. Like when a hurricane comes, you have protected yourself the best you can in the case terrible things come up. It is honestly not hard to do but people will miss this valuable step. Just start slowing and think during the day about some of the things about yourself that make you smile. For me one thing I know is I can make jokes and ease tension. This is a positive brings humor can bring joy into others lives and relax peoples guards down. When everyone is more relaxed, I feel you will get a more enjoyable interaction. What is important is that if it happens to come down to it you can show up for yourself and make a difference for everyone. When the good times are here it is important to remember to reinforce yourself and know your worth. When the tough times come up know that things will pass and look at how strong you have been over your life. There is always something that can scare you in life but there is also always a way to manage and be able to deal with the things that scare you the most. We usually do what we are supposed to do when are backs are against the wall, but what do you want to do with your life? How you live your life is up to you and should only matter to you. We can listen to the people around us and their opinions to understand them, but we need to be able to understand ourselves. Many people are scared to look within fearing what they will end up seeing. It does not need to be this way. If you do not like what you see, what is the first thing you would change? Take it small and make it a start.
