It sounds like it would be a lot of work, and to tell you the truth it is. This is not something we can get from anyone but ourselves. We are always boosting up others and telling them how amazing and strong and wonderful they are but we tear down ourselves, I'm not this, I'm not that. I'm not as pretty as she is or they have more than I do. When in truth you are more alike than you know. That person you were just admiring is the same as you, has everyday life to deal with and you don't know what they have just overcome. They could have been sitting admiring you for who are and what you have.
Recently I heard a song on the radio and a phrase stood out to me it said:
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're the reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
It later goes on to say that you need to light that fire and let it shine. If you've not heard it I suggest listening to it and really listen to the words its a very empowering and motivating song.("Firework" by Katy Perry)
I know its always hard to be strong and put on the brave face and you don't need to everyday but you do need to remember how special you and what a value you are to this world cause it wouldn't be the same with out you. Do what makes you happy so you can feel empowered and motivated to do what it takes. Don't let other people tell you what is right and wrong for you. Ask their advice and opinion and take what you want and mold it to fit your life. You know what is best and know what it will take to make you happy Never let anyone tell you aren't enough because you are. Be enough for yourself and stand up for you and what you stand for and people will start to respect you for that.
You are capable of anything you set your mind to, just believe in it, work hard, and it will be. My favorite quote is:

I really need to learn how to do this! I have always relied on my ex-husband for everything. He always took care of everything and when he kicked me out on my butt I didn't even know were to start! I was so lost. This was just on mother's day and now I have moved into my own apt for me and my two kids and I feel a Spencer of relief being on my own and knowing that ya I can do it alone. Its a long lonely road but I am doing it! I am so blessed to have my best friends by my side! I couldn't do it without them cause I have no family to help me.
