Focus on the beauty of today. Think about all that you are, all that you have become, all that you have. Be grateful for what and who you are today. Be happy with your today.

Have patience with your journey. it may take some time to reach your goals but you WILL. Keep up the hard work, you will get there, believe in yourself and don’t give up. Remember good things take time and good things come to people who persevere.

The only person’s opinion you need to worry about is YOUR own. What others think of you does not change who you are, a beautiful one of a kind YOU.
