Duck Dynasty's Sadie Robertson might seem like the girl who has it all together, but the Christian teenager admitted that she actually struggles with jealousy and insecurities just like any normal girl.

In an inspiring YouTube video she titled "Just Be You and Live Original," a fresh-faced Sadie decided to open up about the "reality" of her flaws. "I struggle with jealousy, and I struggle with comparing myself to other people. I struggle with worry, and I'm really hard on myself. I'm just like any other girl - I look in the mirror and I pick out a flaw."

But Sadie knows that jealousy and worry are frowned upon in the Bible. She even said that the Bible describes jealousy as the "cancer to the bones."

Sadie told her fans to stop reaching for superficial goals because the only way for people to feel content is if they let God in. The more people seek self-approval and human approval, the more frustrated they are going to be, she added.

"You're never going to be content with who you are unless you allow God to come in. I'm not saying that's what you have to believe, but I'm saying that's the best option I've ever found. Humans have never given me a better comfort zone than what God can give me," she said.

In fact, the inspirational teen has a better suggestion for when people start to feel weighed down by problems and insecurities.

"Maybe talk to God; maybe try something new; maybe open your Bible; maybe pray about it; maybe just see what God has to say about it," she urged.

Since she shared the video, it has received over two million views and Sadie is overwhelmed by the positive response it has generated. "Wow, overwhelmed by the impact this video is making on people's lives. I'm so glad it's helping some of you in your life," she wrote on her Instagram page.
