This Is Me

by Chrissy Metz

Our true happiness is inside of us. Like me, everything you need to fly—to soar—has been inside you all along. Just as you are, you’re enough.

Because confidence is really trust in yourself, right? It has nothing to do with what someone else thinks of you; it’s what you think of you.

There is something that happens when you are grateful. You continue to receive blessings.

“We all have a purpose,” she said. “Some people are the tall oak trees, and some people are the beautiful bushes. But everyone has a purpose. There is nobody here on earth who doesn’t have a path or a purpose. An innate destiny. Every human being who comes, comes called.”

I know firsthand that it’s never too late for you and it doesn’t matter what you look like. The universe responds when you really pursue your heart’s desire.

When you are confident in your abilities, it lets other people feel confident in theirs too.

Being who you are is enough. You don’t have to become a success, because you already are one.
