You Are Not Just A Lump Of Coal
YOU ARE VALUABLE !
As a youngster (and into my adult life) many times I felt like nothing more than a lump of coal...
* Dirty
* Some people don't want to be around you.
* You are to stay in your place until needed.

What I did not know as a child is that coal has the same properties as diamonds. A diamond is a piece of coal that has been under intense pressure. Being abused as a child I lived under intense pressure. Low self esteem reigned supreme in my life. It took me a very long time to learn that in order for others to like and respect you...
You Must Like And Respect YOURSELF!
I wanted desperately to fit in. As a result I spent most of my life emulating others. So much so I never developed into who I was meant to be. My rational was: in order to be accepted you have to be like everybody else. Do you see yourself in any of this? If your answer is yes you need to know..
Every Bodies Are A Dime A Dozen!
Break free! Get out of the egg carton. There is no one else on this planet like you. Talk about a precious commodity! You are priceless. No one else has your finger prints. No one else has your DNA. You are uniquely you. A non-renewable resource. A very valuable natural resource.
As a non-renewable resource you need to protect yourself. There is nothing wrong with nurturing and cultivating yourself (i.e. exercise, education, and encouragement -to name a few). Just don't let Cosmo, Jaylo, or Brother Bo dictate to you who you should be, or what you should look like. The harshest limits however are the ones we place on ourselves. Bread out of the egg carton. Dream, set goals, then set out to achieve them.
Don't you think it's about time to get to know that wonderful person;
the person that is uniquely you. It's nice to be liked and accepted by others. First you must like and respect yourself.
