What we tell ourselves is what we become

 I have to realize that what I tell myself is what I become. For years I told myself that I was a failure, had nothing to offer, was a burden to those who loved me, couldn't do hard things, was a victim of so many things. So what did I become? I became a failure in everything that I tried. I had nothing to offer because I didn't use my gifts for the good of others. I became a burden because I kept holding myself back from helping those around me. I couldn't get out of bed most days to do anything productive with my days. I stopped trying the moment things became hard because I felt like I couldn't do hard things. I became a victim of the things that I had gone through. I became suicidal and depressed. I became anxious just thinking about going out of my house. So what happened when I changed what I told myself? 

When I changed my thoughts to I could do anything with the help of God. I am a survivor of many hard times and things. I am a beloved daughter of God who has devine power from God on high. I am going to go after my dreams and stop holding myself back from the things I want in life. I don't have to be anything but me because I am amazing. I make this world a better place because I'm alive. I have learned from my past to become successful in life. My failures are stepping stones to having a successful life. When I started to change the words I told myself I started to think those things. My thoughts became my actions. My actions are slowly becoming who I am as a person. 

If I can change what I told myself to stop holding myself back I know that you guys are capable of so much more than we ever could have imagined. I know that everyone is a child of God who has more worth and power than anyone can imagine. So let's stop holding ourselves back from the things we really want in life. Let's stop allowing Satan to lie to us and let's stop believing his lies. Let's instead learn to think positive and realize we shape our future by the words we tell ourselves. We are enough to God then we should be enough to ourselves. God loves us so much that he bleed from every pore and died on the cross so let's take those things to realize who we have always been. Let's change so others around us change for the positive. We really can change this world by starting to get to our full selves! Let's dare to tell ourselves and those around us positive things to shape this world to one of power and strength.
