I've learned this the hard way.... But sometimes I forget it... I had a moment tonight when I forgot it.... Looking outside yourself for validation, of anything, let it be compliments from others, someone to tell you are strong, you are a good mom, anything, it only leads to heartache in the end.
Everyone should remember that no matter what it is that you are seeking... The answers truly lie within you. If you don't truly feel as though you are beautiful, line up a thousand people to tell you just that... You'll go to bed feeling like a rockstar, but guess what when you wake up in the morning, you'll be looking for just one of those thousand people to remind you.
Don't think you're a good mom? Join a mommies group, bring the snacks, have play dates at your place, let all the other moms tell you that they "just don't know how you do it." They leave and you feel like mother of the year.... You're awesome... You tuck your kids in for bed, read 'em a story, shut the light off, go crawl in your own bed so proud that everyone thinks you are a great mom. Then wake up late the next morning and take it out on your kids..... Can't find your trophy can you?
You must know and believe in yourself in all that you do, think, and say. It's no one's job to tell you how much they love you. You need to know that you are loveable. No matter what you look like, or how much you weigh, you are beautiful. No matter how many people tell you "you're so strong" you need to know before you put that razor to your wrist, or swallow those pills, that deep down you WILL make it through. You will find your way.
If you don't believe in you...... All the belief, and encouragement, and support won't ever be enough.....
Everything you could ever possibly need will only be found within yourself.....

Good point, but what if you just can't find it inside?
