But when we focus on others\u2019 success, money, fame, appearance, situation or whatever, we forget the truth - the truth of our own gifts and the true story of what\u2019s beneath the surface.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I wanted to share this quick story about a girl in my high school - hands down the prettiest and most popular girl in the school. Every fibre in my short, geeky body badly wanted to be her. Turns out, there was so much more to the story, and it made me forever grateful for my own gifts and for being exactly who I be. &amp;nbsp; I hope this inspires you to focus on your gifts and appreciate exactly where you are on your journey. &amp;nbsp; Please listen, review and share with someone who needs to hear it too.&amp;nbsp;   Quotables: &amp;nbsp; \u201cIf you are trying to build a castle, make sure you don\u2019t build it on sand. Build it on something that\u2019s going to last. Build it on something real. Build it on something that is true and authentic to you.\u201d &amp;nbsp; \u201cThere are going to be times when you look at other people and think \u2018this is grossly unfair that this is my life and other people get to have that\u2019 but sometimes you can\u2019t see over the fence.\u201d &amp;nbsp; \u201cIf ever you find yourself in a position where you feel like \u2018this just sucks, it\u2019s hard and I wish I had that', just keep using and building the tools in your own tool box to get you to the destination you are meant to be.\u201d    Links mentioned in the episode: &amp;nbsp; TYE 124: What I learned from getting bullied at school   Join The YES Effect Inner Circle Facebook Group for a behind the scenes experience about what it means to Believe, Belong and Become! &amp;nbsp; Join Shelli on Facebook Join Shelli on Instagram  Join Shelli on YouTube ","author_name":"The YES Effect","author_url":"http:\/\/www.TheYesEffectShow.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/24450615\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/24450615"}
