Ladies, When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said "wow your beautiful!" ?
*SILENCE*. Just as I suspected!

As women we spend too much of our lives focusing on the things people wont like about us and forget about the things people will. We allow our selves to belittle others in our sex, by pin-pointing their faults to higher our self-esteem. This is wrong, and as future mothers we are setting our own kids up for the heartbreak that we once felt in our adolescence days.

DONT. Dont belittle the woman on the train across from you because her hair cut is clearly to short for the shape of her face, or ignore the man next to you who clearly finds you attractive, because your afraid he is way out of your league. Be confident in the faith that was instilled into your parents to raise you as a beautiful woman and never draw on the misfortune of others to heal your self-loathing. You should know this fate you've been given is an amazing one , as with every breath you breathe there is opportunity everywhere you look, and a new found hope that some will never get to experience or even imagine in their wildest dreams.

As women in this society we spend our days sifting through magazines, praying to see a picture of angelina with the same spot we have on our chin, or giselle with a scar on her left leg just like we have. Countless times i've heard from women "I hate how I look, if only I could...", what I ask ? If only you could what ? Wake-up everyday with a family that loves and cares for you and appreciates that maybe not today, but one day you will do great things and someone will see the beauty in THAT, not just in how you look. I mean okay maybe Im not speaking for everyone, because we may not all have this wonderful family im referring to, but we all have something or someone who we cling to for that hope, support and overall protection when we fall short and become unsure of ourselves.

So ladies I ask you, no actually I beg of you, LOVE yourself. Become infatuated with the idea that you are somebodys supermodel, and the woman in your perfect mans dreams, because I assure you that you are. But until you learn to believe it, and call things as you see them your going to spend so much time focusing on whats not to like about you, you will forget exactly what is. Maybe you wont listen to my advice and you'll carry on staring at the girl who works in starbucks wishing you had "straight teeth like hers", or the lady you see on the tube everynight who has "legs to die for". Or maybe you will just listen, because maybe you have just realised that chances are, they are just like you, and are doing exactly the same thing you are. Only tomorrow, when you say "wow look at that girl", you will be standing in front of a mirror....
