“Your best life is on the other side of confidence”
-Brianna McDonnell
August is one of my favorite months out of the year on The B Word, because
of the #BEinyourskin Challenge. I created this challenge for everybody. To
share things I have learned, I have experienced, and things that have helped
me find myself. The world has always told me, because of my size, to take up
less space, be quieter, dim your light, and I couldn’t be untrue to myself. I had
to find my inner light. This is what I hope for all of you. I hope that I can inspire
and empower you to know that you are enough, your story is worth sharing
and you are so loved. That you deserve to live the life, that YOU love.
This week we will be focusing on our passions, our purpose and what
makes us feel alive. I have always found that when I’m doing things I love, my
insecurities, body hate, or self doubt melt away.
You get to recognize your own potential. You get to decide what your limits
are and what they aren’t. You get to define what you believe in, what you
dedicate your time and energy and body to. You get to find your passions and
your purpose. They can be big or small. They can be famous or unknown. They
can be close or far away. Anything you want. YOU decide. No one gets to tell
you what they can or can’t do or who they can or can’t be. Only you can do
that. Define your own life, for you, by you.
