Insecurities

Before a big fight, I have no doubt a boxer really psyches himself up. With years, months, weeks, days leading up to it - all sorts of thoughts are getting bounced around, up to the minutes before the final mind frame-  when he steps into the ring.

I have faced a similar battle and gone through similar mind frames on going up against my biggest insecurity face to face. After YEARS of daily mini self-struggles with it - we finally met at the finals this morning... I got braces.

Since I was young - the number one of a few (there's a number of little things here and there) things that I am insecure about are my teeth. They have been having a little too much fun together - getting all crowded and up in each other's business.

Anyway, I did it. I got braces. I am told it will only take one year - so by my big birthday celebration next year - I hope to have the smile I have always dreamed about, could never imagine, am so excited for. I have AH to thank for the final push- jazakallah khair.

That's just it... regarding your insecurities - for the most part - we didn't ask for them!! So don't feel sorry for yourself. Or try not to (easier said than done for sure). The reality is.... we all have them!!!!! Now if there's a way to work on it - try your best, if not, learn to love and accept yourself with what you have been given.
