I want you to think of someone who SEES you. And write down what they would say you are. And carry that forward with you now. Knowing it will benefit your entire life if you can just learn to believe it…
A belief is simply a thought repeated over and over.Donna Ashworth
When my husband said I was beautiful, I blushed. I wanted to believe him, but a small voice inside me hesitated. Beautiful? I have always associated beauty with flawless skin, perfect hair, or effortless grace. But he wasn’t just talking about appearance. He was talking about me—the way I show up in life, the way I care, teach, and love.
I repeated his words in my head: I am beautiful. And I let them sit there, even though part of me – actually most part of me, wanted to brush them off. “Why is it so easy to believe the harsh words we tell ourselves but so hard to believe the kind ones?” I am still struggling to understand this.. I am hard-wired for the “I am not good enough, I failed again and again, therefore I am a bad person” mode of thinking.
So I tried again.
I am a beautiful teacher. It’s true—I give my lessons my full attention. I never rush because I want my students to truly understand. Their growth matters to me, and maybe that kind of patience is beautiful.
I am a beautiful mother and wife. I pour my love into my family. I show up every day, even when I’m tired, even when no one is watching. Love, care, and devotion—those are beautiful things, aren’t they?
A belief is simply a thought repeated over and over.
So maybe if I repeat these thoughts—if I let them take root instead of brushing them aside—they will become part of me. Maybe if I say I am beautiful enough times, I will finally believe it.
And maybe you can do the same.
Think of someone who truly sees you. Listen to their words – Nice words, only the nice words my dearest readers. Let them settle in your heart. And then, carry them forward with you—because if you do, it might just change your life.
Cheers,
