"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." - Marilyn Monroe
"I think that the only person who really doesn't trust you is you."
That's what went through my brain the other day, in the middle of pancakes and Good Morning America. I was eating breakfast, and already the running list of what I was up against for the day, the week was going through my head. Science project, boys, working out... Doesn't sound so bad. But I was really scared. I was sure I couldn't handle any of it, that nothing would go quite right.
And you know what? Maybe that feeling is completely normal. But it's all in how you translate it. It can either be, "Gosh, this must be really important to me. Let's see what I can do." Or it could be,"I am so stressed out. There's no way I can do any of this right."
Anyways, where I was going is this: I wonder how many times we think we're coming up against big obstacles, but we're really just setting up our own battles. Think about it - have you ever admitted to someone that you were worried you were gaining weight, or you sure you were going to mess up an audition, and they acted like they had no idea what you were talking about? Well, that's probably because they can really see how amazing and wonderful and talented you really are. Or think about this - have you ever had a friend or aunt tell you they think you're really beautiful, and you didn't believe it? Well, maybe it's true. And maybe right not the only person who doesn't believe in you, support, you, and have 100% trust and faith in you is, well... you.
Have you had one of those days lately, FG? Who is someone that does believe in you? Let me know what you think - I'm always here or at my e-mail, fabgalsite@gmail.com.
