I ask all my readers to do what I did today. I was thinking of all these stupid small things I do that I regret through out the day but I challenge you, life a life of no regrets. I am starting today and I haven't had anything today that I regret. But I wanted to make sure I always have this feeling, so I wrote myself a letter and I am going to read it every morning and however many times I need to through out the day to make sure I don't do something I regret or don't do something that i'll regret. Try it and write your own. Here is mine. 

Jordyn,

You are beautiful, you're amazing. You are talented, you are smart, you are powerful beyond measure. Today go through the day uplifting others, give out as many compliments as you can, say hello to everyone you know, and you know what say hi to everyone you don't know. Dress to impress but don't be fake, be you and only you. You are funny, you're out going, you are a leader, you are inclusive, but you aren't annoying. Don't talk about yourself so much, don't cut others off, and don't complain about stupid things like homecoming. Say thank you when you are complimented don't say uh no whatever or anything like that. They mean it that's why they said it. Don't procrastinate bishop gave that talk to you, listen to him. Don't talk bad about anyone. You have a rough life but so does everyone else. I know its hard being happy all day but do it. Be "that" girl, the girl that's happy, that's friendly, that everyone loves. BUT don't be fake. You aren't fake. You are a beautiful daughter of God that has so many things going for you. Take advantage of those. You're amazing. Go out and be the best person you can be. Say your prayers and read your scriptures. Don't just read them but live them, be like Captain Moroni, everyone always says find a husband like him, but be the female version of him. You can do it. You know you can. 

You are the best. You can do it. You're beautiful. Remember that.

No fear, no limits.

thats my pep talk for you, I hope you all create your own. :) its really helped me already and its only day one.
