A link came up on my Facebook newsfeed today about a woman named Lizzie Velasquez, a woman with a rare syndrome who cannot gain weight (doesn't that sound amazing). She is a 24 year old who hasn't weighed more than 64 lbs in her life and was titled the "world's ugliest woman." In this video, she shares stories of her difficult childhood and how she used the negativity around her to make herself better. Something we can all do. She encourages people discover what truly defines them and to not let others say what you can and cannot do. Let your goals, success, accomplishments be the things that define you. People are always going to have things to say about you no matter what you do. You can't let that stop you from being the best person you can possibly be. It was such an uplifting and motivational speech and I hope you enjoy it. xo
