YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL
Is it necessary to have the similarities of others? Does it give us any more credibility of character or just one more thing to be discontent about?
No matter how much we look, act or behave like someone else, we are all originals.
I'm sure a lot of us have grown up admiring one person or another....As a child I was a Linda Carter fan, "Wonder Woman." I admire strong, articulate beautiful women. To me, it is more about image and self confidence....I craved for the things I lacked within myself...in essences I used it as a confidence booster...
As ironic as it maybe, we often look for examples in the world that resemble ourselves and we hold on to them and may even make small comparisons......For example: I've been compared to GI Jane "Angelina Jolee"....Carmeletta Jeter a world class 100 meter sprinter. Someone even told me I reminded them of Diana Ross without the makeup....OKAY
It doesn't matter if you have a look alike somewhere in the world....we are all originals, even if you are an identical twin.
I would encourage anyone to be confident in your own skin. Enjoy who God has made you to be. It's okay to admire someones body or personality, but never loose sight of your own beauty, gifts and talents....Remember, if you were able to have everything you admired in someone else, you still wouldn't be them, you would remain you.
No one really wants to be referred to as a look alike or a copy cat....but there is something in us all that makes us smile when we're being compared to someone famous. Go figure
Whether you believe it or not, your originality is unique and should be celebrated. Because you exist in the world, it is a more interesting place to live. We can learn so many things from each other just the way we are.
It can be so encouraging to see someone whose come from some of the same struggles we have and end up in a rewarding place due to hard work and disciple. It's very motivating. I strongly promote having positive influences as role models. I found it to be a source of visual strength for me during my pursuit of loosing 100lbs in 6 months.
I wasn't born with the body of a supermodel, but one of an athlete. I've been a runner every since I could walk and a sprinter throughout my collegian years. So, my body type is athletic NOT MASCULINE. There is a difference an a beauty to the female symmetry of all body types that is unmistakably attractive to the opposite sex and even appealing among one another.
There is nothing wrong with our eyes....certain attributes appeal to us more so than others...especially those things we maybe lacking ourselves.
In a nutshell, be happy with who you are on the way to where you're going in life. Strive to be the best you, you can be. Set realistic goals for yourself, and don't be overly consumed attempting to chase after others accomplishments.... Celebrate in achieving your own...
Because after all, YOU ARE ALREADY A WINNER AND "YOU ARE AN ORIGINAL!"
About Me
Hey guys! I am a native Washingtonian, wife & mother of two. My story is much like most women who have struggled to regain their body, love-of-self, and emotional confidence while going through life’s challenges. Eating became my biggest comfort in dealing with these challenges, and little by little 100 extra pounds of guilt and shame became my newest reality.
My wake-up call was looking in the mirror and not recognizing the person staring back at me, nor being familiar with the pain & illnesses associated with this new body. I had become a different person, but I knew, deep down inside, that I loved myself more than the stranger I had become. By the grace of God, consistency, and determination, I crawled out of depression and into a life filled with rejuvenation and purpose through healthy eating and daily exercise. Heal the mind and the body will follow! Tap into your emotional center and you'll discover the TRUE Beauty N YOU!
