Even if you're the most confident girl in the world, you're still going to have those days where you just don't really like yourself. We *all* do. Maybe it's because of that pimple that just won't go away or the fact that you got turned down from that internship you really wanted. Whatever it is, it's important not to get too caught up in the negative feelings and to pick yourself up. Try one of these mantras to boost your self-esteem because yas girl, you're a queen.

You are perfect the way you are.
So what if your hair is half-curly and half-straight? Who cares if your glasses are bigger than normal? It doesn’t matter. It makes you, *you*. Never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough, or need to change. Realize that there is no one in the world that is just like you, and you were put on this Earth for a reason...to be you.

You can accomplish *anything* you set your mind to.
No dream is too big, no wish is impossible. If you want to be the first female president, go for it. If you want to a movie star, start practicing. There is nothing that you can’t do. As long as you believe in yourself, and give your best effort, you can accomplish anything.

It will get better.
Life gets hard. There are days when it seems like nothing will ever go your way. Everything feels like you try, and try some more, but it still doesn’t work out the way you want. Remember not everything in life comes easy, and the best parts of life are worth fighting for. It will get better, and in turn, you will be better for it.

Push on, no matter what.
Every once in awhile, a door may slam in your face (not literally, we hope!). Don’t be discouraged, though...another door will open. You are exactly where you need to be in life. Push on always, and you will be closer to your wildest dreams.

Love endlessly.
We all want a love that will last forever, something straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel or a rom-com. But in reality, we have a majority of the love we already need from our friends and family so be there for the people who care for you. If they need a friend, be the best friend. If they need guidance, help them. Love everyone in the way they need to be loved.

Always be yourself.
Do not let anyone try to turn you into something you're not. You don’t need to change to be popular or liked or wanted. People will respect you more (and you'll respect yourself) if you stay true to who you are.

The world is yours.
You can do anything. Go get 'em, babe!
