I posted a photo on Instagram on Tuesday with one of my new favorite quotes in the caption; and lots of you guys DM’d me asking for more motivation and self-motivation tips so I wanted to elaborate a little!!! Some of you may not know that I also created a pageant consulting business, called Empowering Crowns, where my business partner/cousin and I empower girls for a living. Honestly, it is such a rewarding job, esp when the girls let us know how much we have inspired them. I actually get all teary and sappy when they text or tell us because it’s very self-motivating to know when you help others and/or make a difference. I mentored my cousin and, later, handed this business down to her to focus fully on my acting and blogging careers; but being that I truly enjoy empowerment, I still coach independently in the side 🙂
The quote that I put on my Instagram was:
I actually saw this on someone else’s Instagram recently; and I wish I knew who originally said this because this statement is so powerful!!! I know we are all guilty of saying “Ugh, I want her legs!” or “I would do anything for her abs!” or “Why can’t I have her eyebrows?” and so on! I know I’m totally guilty of the eyebrow comment! But, seriously, unfortunately, that has become too common in our thoughts and communication; and that is why this quote was so powerful to me! It actually caused me to challenge myself to never say something like that again. For every person that wishes they were someone else or could have someone else’s “whatever”, there is a person out there wishing they were you or wishing they could have a feature or talent of yours. I hope that if you are ever aware of this, you will turn around and tell them this quote to motivate them that they are enough, they matter, and they are unique. You were given your features, characteristics, and talents for a reason, which is because no one else has them to the extent that you do. Sure, other people can dance or sing; but no one else can do it like YOU! You are unique, there is only one you; so be you, everyone else is taken! When you own you, you are confident, and confidence is beautiful!
BElieve in YOUrself
With that said, I wanted to share two more of my favorite quotes because they go hand-in-hand with this one and I do know who originally said these; so if you enjoy, feel free to look up more and share away!
Always remember that you are enough and you matter!
Now, pay it forward and go inspire someone! People will always remember you by how you make them feel!
XOXO,
Michelle
