We are different and we are equal

Sooo, how are you? Do you want to know one thing? You are fucking awesome. And do you know why? Because you are unique. There is not a single person between all the billions of people in the world that is just like you. You kow, I hate when someone says that I'm just like someone. I am me and I could never be somebody else. No matter how much that person is like me, we are not the same. We will never be. And that's the beauty of the thing!
Being different is good as long as you understand that everyone is different as well and they don't need to be like you to have your acceptance. If you want to be respected for being yourself, respect everyone else. Remember that we are all different and that makes us equal. You may be an average looking person and you like to be that way. But you may also be a tattoed person with red hair and piercings, but that doesn't mean you should be less or more respected. We are all human, we all have feelings, we all have different tastes. So...&nbsp; 

Be respectful

Now I want to make an exercise of affirmation that I learned with a Joyologist called Tricia Huffman ("Joyologist?" yes, that exists, I'll explain it in the end of the post). This exercise is good for you to know who you are, stand up for yourself and stop being afraid of what people think. Now you will read out loud all of the phrases bellow. But, you have to think about it, to believe in it.

I am myself and no one can take it from me.Everyone is different in a good way. I can only respect myself if I learn how to respect others. I love every singularity of my personality and all of the people that like me find it amazing as well.People who criticize the way I am are too scared of accepting difference, but I am happy with myself and I don't mind it.I will not change because of what people say about me.I will only change if I feel like it, if I actually want it.I love myself. 



&nbsp;Always try making affirmation exercises. It's good for you mind. It makes you better. Well, at least it works for me :) And remember always:


You are unique&nbsp;


&nbsp; "The beauty is in the eye of the beholder"&nbsp;

As I said, I'll tell you a little more about the Joyologist. I knew this existed through my favorite singer, Jason Mraz. I heard that he took Tricia Huffman (the Joyologist) to some tours with him to cheer him and make him feel better about himself so he could transmit good energy to his fans. And I got curious about is, I mean, a Joyologist? What is that? So I looked it up and found her web site ( http://www.yourjoyologist.com/ ) and followed her on twitter ( @beingtricia ). She says she is a student of life and a teacher of living. I found her job incredibly beautiful! She is kind of a counselor of life subjects. She tries to guide you though your problems and cheer you up, make you feel good about yourself.&nbsp; In the words of Jason "Tricia is the coach, partner, friend and foe holding me accountable,  keeping me in integrity, like a trainer or manager of the spirit." Pretty interesting huh? Take a look at her blog and twitter. They're pretty good. ^^
&nbsp;Hope you liked this post :) Bye!
