A Whole New World

My name is Courtney, and I am worth something!  I am special.  I am compassionate, kind, and smart.  I am a hard worker and a good teacher.  I am passionate, and an encourager.  I am very talented.  Basically, I am amazing! and I deserve to be loved...BY ME!

I have found it so easy to lavish other people with support and affection.  I will go beyond the extra mile for someone to meet a need.  I am passionate about stirring inspiration, and propelling others toward their dreams.

However, for the majority of my life, I have never thought myself worthy of such affection and respect for myself.  That stops now.

I have been in a wonderful relationship with an amazing person for the last 2 years.  She has this knack for drawing out the better parts of me.  She loves me for me...all of me.

So, I did something new...I took a long, hard look in the mirror about a week ago.  I evaluated my physical appearance (which I have never been to fond of.)  Then I stared at my face, my eyes...plain, brown eyes, and there she was, staring back at me.  She waved and smiled.  She had kind eyes, and a tender smile.  I'd never really met her before, but had seen her in passing - but apparently she knew me well.  Her name: Courtney!

I was startled by what happened next.  I looked at this girl in the mirror and told her that I loved her, and was proud of all she'd accomplished; however, there were somethings in our life that needed to be changed.  We realized that we are truly amazing, and worth of love from ourself.  It is so easy to reject rather than accept ourselves.  That's gotta stop, and it's gotta stop NOW.

It's time for a whole new world...of unbelievable sights, indescribable feelings.

I am Amazing!  I am Extraordinary!  I am Courtney and worthy of Love!

I am Fit to be Me!
