The Hidden Seed
This illustrated post was inspired by C. who wrote me a personal and important letter.Thank you so much C. for trusting me. I want to dedicate this post to you. For a successful journey!
The most important little seed that we have within is called self esteem. We need to nourish it everyday. A tiny drop of water everyday is all it takes. I'm doing my best to make our children aware about that little seed. I want them to grow being comfortable with themselves and accepting their own strengths and limitations. And the best way to teach this to them is by setting a good example myself. I wasn't always someone who was comfortable in her own existence. It took me years of emotional growth. When I finally opened my eyes I realized that in the end we don't really have to go far away to find ourselves. The journey to a healthy self esteem starts in our mind, in our thoughts and today I wanted to share some of my favorite thoughts about self esteem with you:
“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”
“Believe in your dreams and they may come true; believe in yourself and they will come true”
“Self-esteem isn't everything; it's just that there's nothing without it”
“Self esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves.”
About the illustration: It's a picture of myself turned into a paper doll and dressed with a paper dress containing some pencil drawings.
