Most women, including you, don't realize just how valuable they are. Even though the rest of the world can see how gorgeous you are, you aren't able to see your beauty when you look in the mirror. However, it's time to stop thinking so poorly of yourself. Here are a few things you deserve, even if you don't believe that you do:
It doesn't matter how many horrible things you've done in the past--you deserve to be happy. When you're upset, don't just mope around without trying to change your situation, because you think you're entitled to the pain. You aren't. What you're entitled to is a life you're proud of, so do whatever makes you happiest without worrying what others think.
Don't break up with your boyfriend, because you think he can do better. Don't assume that your crush hates you, because no one could ever love someone like you. Don't settle for dating a jerk, because you don't think you can get anyone else. You're an amazing woman, and you deserve to be loved by a gentleman.
Apply for your dream job. Ask your boss for a promotion. Do whatever you can to reach your goals. If you believe that you're undeserving of success, it'll lower your motivation and you'll never get where you want to be in life. The only way to become successful is to realize that you deserve to be successful.
Sure, it's a little pricey to go to the spa, but you deserve to be pampered. Get your nails painted, get a massage, or take a mud bath. You've had a tough week, so do whatever will relax you. You deserve to be pampered, so don't hesitate to do something that's meant for you and only you.
It doesn't matter how big or small you are. Even if you're on a strict diet, you deserve the occasional snack. So stop feeling bad whenever you eat one too many cookies. It's not the end of the world. After all, you deserve to treat your stomach every once in a while.
You're not shallow for wanting the newest iPhone or for buying designer jeans that look similar to the kind you could get on sale at Kmart. Even if you're low on cash, you should occasionally splurge on something that will make you smile. The point of earning money is to spend it, after all. So make sure you don't put yourself on such a strict budget that you never buy yourself something special.
You can either consider life a rough challenge that will always let you down, or a gift that you're fortunate to have. It's all about how you look at the world. Of course, you deserve to live a life you love, which is why you need to do whatever it takes to make yourself happy. You might not be able to change the world, but you can change your world.
You're amazing, even if you don't realize it. In the spirit of positivity, what's one special treat that you're going to give yourself this week?
