You Can Break Me & Shake Me, But You Won't Change Me...

Hello girls, how are we all? I'm feeling more than unenthusiastic about everything and am ill beyond belief. But that doesn't stop me from blogging! I've realised that I rarely ever post blogs which are considered as 'lifestyle' topics anymore, and considering this is a beauty and lifestyle blog, that's all about to change. I was sat down with my good friend yesterday and we got onto the topic of what is unique about ourselves, and what could never be taken away from us. Yes, random but deep convosations get my brain ticking and thinking helps to ease certain situations. People don't tend to think of me as a particularly deep thinker but honestly, it's all I seem to do! So below is a list of things we were talking about, with the vile language and stories which go with them removed :-) A little food for thought and inspiration goes a long way. I'd just like to say that I'm no physchologist but this is just small bits of advice!

How you feel about yourself ♥
It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone else’s eyes, but once you do the world is yours. We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own life, and we will never be happy or successful if we try to live someone else’s idea of it.  So give up worrying too much about what others think of you and be yourself.  What they think isn’t really that important.  What's important is how you feel about yourself, and there's a saying that I live by; "how can you expect someone to love you if you don't love yourself?". So true. 

Your uniqueness ♥
You are unrepeatable, and there is a magic and aura about you that is all your own.  Having a low opinion of yourself is not humility and self doubt, it’s self-destruction.  Holding your uniqueness in high regard to yourself  is not having a big ego, it’s vital in feeling happiness and success.  You deserve to wear a smile in your heart.  Not because of what you have or what you do, but because of who you are as an individual. You are changing each day, but you are always amazing just as you are.

Your hope ♥
It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it.  The biggest obstacles that stand between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it, and the way to believe it’s possible.  Hope is the little voice inside your head that whispers “maybe” when it seems like the whole world is shouting “impossible!”

Your choice to move on emotionally ♥
Don’t let past relationships and old mistakes ruin your future.  Don’t let someone or something that didn’t make it in your life continue to hurt you.  If you do, you’re still giving a portion of your life to something that no longer exists – it’s like letting your happiness slip into a black hole.  Learn the lesson, release the pain, and get on with things, move on. Scars remind us of where we have been, not where we are headed.




Your knowledge and life experiences ♥
Your own personal character and knowledge develops over time.  They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs.  They come after doubts, second guesses, and unknowns.  If there was a known path to success, everyone would be on it.  The way of feeling success is by learning from your past failures.  Your best stories will come from overcoming struggles. Keep standing, keep learning, and keep living.

I hope I've inspired a few of you. Remember, unless you can be a unicorn always be yourself x
