Don't be convinced otherwise

Your perception of yourself is all that really matters. Yes, the opinions of others is something you should value, that is if you know they really care about your progress but your perception of yourself determines it all.

Beauty‍‌‍‍‌ is already there in people when they come into this world. This beauty is not only about the appearance of a person, this beauty is also in a person’s heart and mind. Just look at a baby, so innocent, but as they grow, life, experiences and people can influence them to either be good or bad.

It can also influence someone with beauty, both inside and out to think less of themselves.

Unfortunately, when someone starts to believe the opposite, a terrible thing happens. Some people get insulted and they look in a mirror and think something is wrong with them. Over time, a person can even forget that they were once beautiful, once great because of all the negative comments and negativity around them.

This wrong perception becomes even more powerful when people use a harsh tone while insulting you. Before long a person may start to consider those words more than their own voice.

I'll tell you the reason why this belief hurts so much. When a person loses sight of their own value, everyday life becomes more difficult. A person might shy away from photos because they doubt their own outer beauty. A person might be quiet in the class because they doubt their own intellect all because of the negative perceptions they've accepted.

A person might give up on trying new things that could have brought success because of what failures of the past has done to their minds.

People can literally teach you to doubt yourself, don't let them.

Everyone had something special inside from the very beginning. You have a talent you just haven't figured it out yet if you think you don't.

It's doesn't necessarily have to be a talent anyways, it could be something special and unique about you, your smile, ideas, kindness and behavior are all the examples of that. No one from the outside should be able to take that away. When a person is able to recognize their own beauty, life becomes more colorful, your purpose can easily be found and you live life in "god mode" with all the confidence there is.

You become more assertive, and you become more liberated.

If you ever doubt yourself, consider the origin of this doubt. Was that your own thought or someone else’s? You are not without value, remember that. Don't give people the permission to take that away from you.
