We are all amazing in our own ways – even if you think you’re not, trust me, you are. Everyone has at least one special thing about them – something that they bring to the table that no one else does. It could be a special skill, or it could be something different like a deep compassion for others. It could be one of a thousand things, but there is something that makes you amazing.
In fact, there is more than one thing that makes you amazing. Everything about you is amazing and you just need to learn to believe that about yourself and learn to love yourself.
Here are three reasons why you are amazing:
You’re Unique
No two people are exactly alike. You might agree with others on many things, maybe even most things, but you are still unique. You still view the world as a sum of your experiences, no one else’s and that makes your worldview unique to you.
It’s kind of awe inspiring to think how many people are in this world, and no two are exactly alike. Think about your little quirks – they are all a part of you being unique and those little quirks, those difference, are what makes the world such an interesting place. Life would be so boring if we all thought and acted exactly the same as each other.
Don’t shy away from being unique – embrace it and you might just change the world.
You Are Many Things to Many People
Whenever you feel like actually you aren’t that great, just take a moment to think about everyone in your life. Those people think you’re pretty amazing and that many people can’t be wrong. Think about all of the different labels you wear as a friend, family member and blogger:
- Parent
- Child
- Sibling
- Niece or nephew
- Aunt or uncle
- Grandparent
- Grandchild
- Cousin
- Friend
- Best friend
- Godmother/Godfather
- Co-worker
- Manager
- Writer
- Blogger
- Photographer
- Social media manager
- SEO expert
- Graphic designer
- Web builder
- Accountant
And those are just the ones I could think of off the top of my head. That’s a lot of things to juggle – and you’re doing it. That in itself makes you pretty damned amazing.
You Are Living
That sounds pretty strange doesn’t it? But think about it. Take a moment to consider just how awesome your body is. Sure there will be parts of it you don’t like, maybe even parts of it that don’t function how you want them to (or at all) but the fact that you carry on living every single day and push through the hardships is testament to just how amazing you really are.
Make sure you are truly living every day, not just existing. You owe it to yourself to live each day and learn to truly appreciate just how amazing you really are.

Thank you for writing this. I really needed to read this today. I apparently have more labels to people than I thought!
I hope it’s made you see how amazing you are!
Great post, Debbie. It’s hard for me to call anything about myself “amazing,” because, as a woman, I was raised to think saying anything positive about myself was “bragging.”
But here are some things I like about myself: I have a big heart and am very empathetic; I’m good at building relationships with people; and I can make people laugh. How about you?
I don’t remember my parents having that attitude, but I definitely remember society as a whole having it and you soon learned to put yourself down rather than celebrate yourself! I like that I can get other people excited about projects, and that I’m a quick learner.
I’m amazing? Gee, thanks for noticing!
Your second point reminds me of when I was younger. Every so often, one friend of mine or another would put herself down, and say she was stupid, or worthless, etc. My response was usually to ask if she valued my opinion, and when she said yes, I’d point out that my opinion of her was quite high. It usually helped somewhat.
I’m glad you helped her to see her worth!
Inspirational post!
Let’s see – something unique is that I wrote 50k words in one day! I just did it a few days ago. I planned a 24 hour marathon, and a friend challenged me to write 50k. I did it. I had lots of doubts, but I did it. (I’m afraid to look back at the words, but hey, they’re written at least!)
OMG that is amazing, well done!
