If someone can destroy your self-esteem with a comment, they didn’t create the insecurity. They found it. Think about it. If someone tells you your hair is blue and you know it isn’t, you don’t spend the next three days defending your hair color. Their words have nowhere to land. But when a comment keeps replaying in your head, ask yourself why. Is it touching something you already fear might be true? Have you been saying the same thing to yourself? That’s where your power is. You don’t have to control what people say. You have to stop letting their words decide your worth. People can judge you. They can reject you. They can say whatever they want. You still get to decide what you believe about yourself.
