It's so easy to beat yourself up over little flaws and mistakes that you may notice over the course of a day. When we do acknowledge our strengths and accomplishments it can often make us feel conceited or boastful, but when we work hard or develop a special skill we shouldn't feel bad about it. It's important to take time to let yourself shine. Don't be afraid to show off from time to time. Confidence can often be mistaken for cockiness, but you shouldn't be afraid of that either. There will always be people trying to dim your light and bring you down. Ignore those people, for they are only trying to steal your light because they have yet to find their own.
Being confident is such a strong attribute that many people refuse to develop. Some are too scared, scared that if they show their true selves to the world they won't be accepted. Others truly don't believe they are worthy of the respect of others. Just like a trail of glitter, there is room for every single speck to sparkle, and we all shine even if we don't see it in ourselves all the time. Everyone does sparkle. Everyone has to sparkle in order to create one bright light throughout the world. So my advice for today (although borrowed from Pink Floyd): Shine on you crazy diamonds.
Embrace individuality.
Embrace uniqueness.
Embrace yourself.
With love,
Ciara
