Is it possible to be Young, Divorced and Fabulous?

Is it possible to be young, divorced and fabulous? Absolutely!

When you are in the midst of going through a divorce, it's common to identify your self worth based on the fact that your marriage did not last. I hear people describe themselves as being a failure or a loser all the time from young people going through a divorce. I believe that's because their divorce is the biggest part of their life at that moment and so they are viewing themselves in terms of their marriage and impending divorce.

A divorce is an experience, albeit a very painful one. But, it is not a definition of who you are. Divorced is just one adjective in a list of probably 100 or so that could describe you. Why are you choosing to highlight and focus on that one? Your focus should be on the great qualities that you know you have. Are you smart, quirky, funny, friendly, helpful, happy, thoughtful, musical, quick thinking, strong, sensitive, or have some other great quality? The more you focus on what you love about yourself, the more likely you will quit viewing your divorce as failing and view it as surviving.

You are a survivor. And you are young, divorced and fabulous! Embrace it.
