I Am Not a Mistake

By Miss April

Your self esteem is one of the most invaluable things you have. This is your life and you must live it according to your principles, values, and worth. If you are not sure what they are, this would be an awesome time to learn. Self esteem begins with you. A healthy self esteem is vital for your survival in the real world. There are a lot of people who say they love themselves and they really don't but it sounds good so they go with it. Don't be this person! You must go deeper than that. You have to Speak It, Believe It, & Receive It! If you don't believe it there is no reason to speak it. You can't receive anything until you believe it. Think before you speak because it could save you in the long run. Actions speak louder than words so always be on the lookout. Always remember that no matter what situation, journey, test, trial, or tribulations you may have, you must not give up because you have to follow your dreams, passions, and desires. Always remember that you are not a mistake and you are here for a purpose.

You Are Not A Mistake

Hello(your name here). Before we start repeat these words after me: I am not a mistake. GOD created me from head to toe for a purpose. I am certain and confident that I will be the best I can be and excel at whatever I attempt to do. I am able to do amazing things and I will be determined and dedicated to reach my goals and accomplishments. I am beautiful and capable of achieving many great things. I am unique and most importantly- I am Not a mistake."

Have you ever felt like you just don’t belong here on Earth? You ever feel like you’re just floating around doing absolutely nothing? Have you had that feeling like more negative things happen to you than positive? Do you ever feel like people don’t accept you for who you are? Do you find it hard to fit in with other people? Does it frustrate you if people don’t want to converse with you? You ever wonder why people put you down or say mean things to you? Have you ever experienced the feeling of being unloved? Do you feel as though people find fault with almost every little thing you do? You ever feel like nobody cares? Have you ever felt like you were a nobody? Have you ever experienced giving your best at something and people still tear you down? Do you feel as though you have to do things you don’t want to do to blend in or be liked? Are you striving to impress or make others happy? Are you under the impression that you are supposed to look a certain way? Do you become confused when people are unhappy for your accomplishments?

If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, this is a great book for you. I would love to share some things with you. I want you to know certain things all teenage girls should know. You are at a complex time in your life. Your hormones are changing. You are growing physically, emotionally, spiritually, socially, and mentally. You now have more responsibilities on you being as though you are older now and entering a new period in your life. Life is going to take you on some twists and turns. You may get get bumped and bruised along the way. You may possibly fall down and have to figure out how to get back up. You may get stepped on and pushed out the way of your intended path. You may have times where you feel like you are being dragged and pulled. You are gonna have to learn how to take detours and use your brain to get to your destination. These things will happen but you have to be focused with a sharp mindset and be ready to take it on. A healthy self esteem will help you tremendously during your journeys. It is important that you keep it high and healthy at all times. The reason is simply because it is an invaluable, instrumental, helpful, and unique part of you. Every part of you is unique because there is no other person in this entire world just like you. Your belief and faith in yourself is greater than what you could imagine. You have to know that you can do whatever you set your mind to. Having others believe in you is super and outstanding, but what would you do if they were all of a sudden not a part of your life? This is another reason as to why you have to route for yourself and be your #1 fan. This does not include going overboard where you think you are above any and
