Earlier this week I came across a video on Facebook of Lizzie Velasquez. A beautiful girl who was born with an extremely rare genetic disorder that does not allow her to gain weight. She has spent her whole life weighing less than 64lbs and only has vision in one eye. She was beaten down verbally by online bullies and taunted throughout school. Even with all of the negativity and evil she has risen above it and become such an amazing influence for mankind. Your image, home life, or financial standings do not have to define you. You yourself, chose how you will live your life and what you will do in it. I have been extremely inspired by this lovely lady, and admire her outlook and courage more than words describe. Please take a few minutes and watch this video of Lizzie speaking at a Women's conference in Texas.
Don't let what others think and say define who you are or what you become.
What defines you?
