Birthday letter to myself: giving myself credit

Hi, you. You are so impressive. You have done so much. I know how important doing is to you, it is a huge part of who you are and that’s okay. You don’t have to sit and watch tv if you don’t want to. You don’t have to sit on the sidelines watching everyone live their life taking risks if you don’t want to. You don’t have to hide who you are any longer. You don’t have to be what other people expect you to be anymore. You just have to be you, and that’s okay. You just have to accept the spotlight, and that’s okay. It’s your time to shine. It’s always been yours, you just weren’t ready. You don’t have to apologize for wanting so much, desiring so much, being hungry for more. You don’t need anyone to understand or even help you be you, you can do that by yourself. Being you is a one person job, and you are the right person for the job. You don’t need others to rescue you, or feel pity for you because you are so lucky, not for your possessions but for your bravery. That’s why you do what you do, because you are brave. It’s not for the money, or the fame (it certainly helps), it’s for the passion and drive to live an exciting life. And that’s okay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to live a BIG life, to take BIG risks, to want everything so big and bright and shiny. You have a strong will to do something, and that’s okay. You are the right person for the purpose of living big, living small was never your path nor will it ever be. Keep your head high, your heels on and show them what you are made of. You are pure strength, compassion and leadership. You are one hell of a friend, mentor and person. You can change a person’s mood just like that. You can light up a room just like magic. You have.a lot to offer and you choose to offer it, no matter if you receive the same or not, you are that loving. You are made of steel, stardust and a bit of spice. You are a writer, truth seeker and wonderful healer. You are everything this world needs. You have everything people need, and you choose to give it. You always lend a helping hand to those who need it. You always put people’s needs first no matter how hard you try to put yours first, you still have a thought for those who need you. You are a warrior who has fought many battles. Some you have won, some you haven’t yet you still stand strong. Here you are watching over the people that you love no matter how much they dismiss you, your loving heart and your thoughtfulness. You always show up for others and it’s time you showed up for you. Happy birthday, you. Life will never knock you down. You have what it takes to go through any challenge life throws at you, because you are “that” strong. You are “that” bright. You are “That” powerful.
