Your story has a purpose, your life has deep meaning, you are meant to profoundly impact the world you live in.
Know that what you've endured isn't *who* you are. Know that the person you dream of being, lives within you. Every person who has ever doubted you, hurt you, disappointed you, abused you, neglected you? Know that they are not your burden to carry.
Know that their inability to see your greatness says *nothing* about the person you are. Know that it's okay to feel the sting of that betrayal, and then let it go. You’ve got big things to do around here. You have got *waves* to make while you walk this Earth.
Take a look in the mirror. Even if you don't like who you see, start practicing kindness with yourself. You can spend the rest of your life feeling sorry for the hand you were dealt, or you can spend your time living your best life--the life you deserve.
You've carried the weight of the world for long enough. ENOUGH. Stand tall even when life gets hard.
Stand firm when the road gets bumpy.
Stand fully within yourself even when there seems to be no one else by your side.
Day one, or One day. You decide.
