Stay positive, and believe.

Every day, I wake up with the same purpose. That purpose is to do whatever it takes to get one step closer to achieving my dreams. I don’t just think that my dreams may become a reality, I know that they will become a reality. How can I be so confident? Because I believe in myself.

Over the last six months, a lot has changed in my life. More specifically, I have changed. Day by day, hour by hour, even minute by minute, I am becoming the person that I was born to be. I am striving to create the best life possible for myself, and I am not settling for anything less. Just look at the strides that I have made over the last six months. Now imagine what I can do with the rest of my life that is ahead of me.

Never before have I loved myself more for the person that I am becoming. Never before have I loved life itself more than I love the one that I am living this very second. And never before have I been more motivated to turn all of my dreams into a reality. It all is because I believe in myself.

I believe that my life will take me to amazing places. There is just something about traveling to new and different places that brings me peace and happiness. Traveling is something that I love to do, and it is something that I see myself doing a lot more of in the future.

I believe that I will be my own boss one day. Whatever it is that I will do with my life, well I don’t know. Maybe I will become a motivational speaker, or maybe even an author. But what I do know is that I will be my own boss.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and all of the people that I work with. But there is something about following your own passion and building your beliefs from scratch that really intrigues me.

I believe that someday, I will be completely free. Free from judgement of others, free from illness that affect me both physically and mentally, and free from the overriding stress of chasing the dreams of others. I will live my best life free of any disorder, and I will follow my heart wherever it leads me.

I believe that my life is worth more than the words of others. No longer will I live by the thoughts and judgement of others. This is my life, and I am going to live it my way. Others can say what they want about me, but I know who I am. I know what I am worth, and I know that I will succeed.

I believe that I am stronger than any illness. Depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder will not define me. I have overcome illnesses before, and I am sure that I will do it again. While some days are going to be harder than others, I have realized that tomorrow will bring something completely different. But because I believe, I know that something the tomorrow bring will be greatness. Tomorrow will bring greatness because I will do everything that I can to make it great.  

I believe that I have found my purpose in life. Through all of my trials and errors in life, I have found my voice. My voice has also become my passion. I have found what makes me happy in life, and that is to bring happiness and joy to people who are just like me, survivors.

I believe that my own life is worth living for more than just myself, but also about the others around me. God gave me the strength to overcome any obstacle in life. It is that strength that will help me to shed some light into the life of others.

Lastly, I believe in myself. I believe that no obstacle in life will ever be able to stop me from chasing my dreams. All of my dreams will eventually become my reality. I am strong, I am capable, I am powerful. And because I believe, I know that I will achieve.
