I like you
I like you, just the way you are is a wonderful thing to hear. Since I’m a BAHM (blog-at-home-mom) I have a morning cartoon session with Sophie which usually involves Daniel Tiger or Baby Einstein.
Today, I saw a Daniel Tiger episode teaching O the owl that his friends and family liked him for who he was, not for his things or talents he possessed. I loved that message and I feel, every once in a while, people wonder why or how someone could like them. Self deprecation is one of the worst traits I have but one I work the hardest at overcoming. It’s pointless and doesn’t help anyone, and I know that. Everyone is special and unique with a quality that someone will love. Be proud to be you, just the way you are.

Brene Brown wrote the quote ‘the secret killer of innovation is shame’ in Daring Greatly in regards to people never putting themselves out there for fear of what others think. My heart aches for the people who don’t share their music, art, writings or newest invention because they are worried about criticism. They see their work as a representation of their whole self and if someone doesn’t like something they create, they must not like them. Imagine where the world would be if everyone was afraid of what others thought about what they create. Be brave. Overcome shame.
