The Letter

Dear Incredible You,

Yes, you. The one reading this. We are just stopping by to remind you how beautiful you are. No matter what circumstances exist, and no matter what others say, you are beyond beautiful. Your imperfections and the times you failed are what make you that way. See, your imperfections are the things that make your natural gifts and talents stand out. They are what make you uniquely you. The times you failed are the challenges that keep making you smarter with time. Your wisdom astonishes us every day because it keeps us growing.

Remember that time you were betrayed? That has made you more loyal.

Remember that time they made fun of you? You opted to lift others up.

Remember that time your family doubted you? You are now equipped to prove them wrong, simply because you were willing to believe in yourself first.

Remember that time when you doubted you? Thank you for finally letting me be the first one.

Remember that time when you failed, and were flat on your back? The only place you could look was up.

Remember that time when you had so much to learn? You taught.

Remember when you felt like you could no longer move forward? Thank you for going back to why you took the first step. Thank you for faithfully pressing on. Thank you for seeking the lessons in all of those challenges. Thank you for continuing to make your mark on this world, and thank you….for being beautiful you.

With overflowing love and gratitude,

Your Future Self
