Inspiring Facebook Status and a Giveaway!

I don’t get to peruse Facebook often, but I had a few minutes the other morning while Bubba was eating breakfast and thought I would stalk see what was going on. I saw a status that totally hit home with me and I had to share it. 
The status was something along the lines of having a million people tell you how beautiful, sweet, real, etc you are but there’s always going to be someone who tries to bring you down and ruin it for you. And this got me thinking. Why do we let that happen? Why do we let them do that to us? 
I’m not the most confident person in the world and seem to let negative people have a larger affect on me than the positive ones. Whether it’s my photography skills, my parenting techniques, or other personal decisions, I feel like I’m always letting one negative comment or person bring me down when I have a million people supporting me in all my life endeavors. 
I guess it’s human nature; it only takes one negative comment out of 100 positive ones to make us second guess ourselves or question what we’re doing. But we shouldn’t do that. Sure, one negative comment can hurt us and bring us down, but we need to look at the glass as half full instead of half empty. 
Ask my husband; every time he compliments me or tells me I’m beautiful, my first words  out are usually “Ew, I don’t even have makeup on” or “Ugh, yeah right. I’m fat”. Is this wrong? Absolutely. But when you’ve heard so many terrible things in the past, how do you start believing in yourself and that the good things are the truth? 
I’m going to make a conscious effort to ignore the negative comments and embrace the positive ones. I think we could all use a little reminder of the positivity in our lives and ignore the negativity 🙂
