A JOURNEY INTO SELF-LOVE

A JOURNEY INTO SELF-LOVE

I used to be someone that cares about people more than myself, to the extent that I rather make them happy and displease myself.

I had a friend some time ago, yeah we do a lot of things together but we had an entirely different personality. She can be so annoying to the extent that any slightest misunderstanding, I will always be the one to say sorry, even when not at fault.

I always wanted this friend of mine to be happy and anything that would bring a fight between us, I avoided like a plague.

This way of life affected a lot of things in my life. It affected the way I think, the way I do things, the way I interact, the way I see myself. I have always believed that I wasn't good enough because I see everybody better than I am.

I couldn't even express myself in a presentable manner.

This continued for years, not until I met a man who told me a lot of things about life. He gave me books to read and gradually I got the understanding about the reality of life.

Realities like;

💥You can't please everyone rather always do what is right
💥You shouldn't trade your peace of mind and happiness for anything
💥 You should always appreciate and celebrate yourself.
💥 Appreciate who you, appreciate what God has given you.
💥 Appreciate your look, appreciate the way you are structured.
💥 Always have a positive mindset
💥 Erase words that will make you feel less of yourself. Words like, "𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁."

I know you're also a victim of this
I need you to move away from anything or anyone that will take away your joy. Just like I said in one of my articles titled "Run away from them."

If you want to live your best life
If you want to be a better version of yourself
If you want to be relevant in this life
If you want to make impact in the life of others
If you want to be highly sought-after
Please desist from things that would drain you both emotionally, physically, mentally and psychologically.

You should adhere to all these points listed above and in addition, move close to people that would help you grow and make you see reasons to love yourself over and over again.

You are unique
You are special
You are distinguished from all

Live your best live
