WE DON'T HAVE TO FAKE IT!

-


Looking around at my close friends, I realized that none of us knew how to love ourselves. We preached about self-love and taking care of ourselves, but in practice, none of us did. I think the saddest part was that none of us even knew where to start.

None of us knew how to 'self-love,' so we faked it. We faked loving ourselves. Isn't that just the craziest thing?.

We were so busy seeking that love in others that we stopped looking for it within ourselves, and that was our biggest mistake.

I've always felt a strong need to please others, to make others happy, even if it meant sacrificing my own happiness and mental health. And I think a lot of my friends felt the same way. We were all strong, resilient people, and yet when it comes to loving ourselves, we fell short.

We knew how to bring smiles to the faces of strangers, and yet we faked our own.
We live in a generation full of people who don't know how to love themselves. People who are beautiful, handsome, clever and capable, but have fallen to the deception and lies that society has engrained so deeply into our minds that we don't even realize it's there.

We are all worthy of love. But that love doesn't need to come from others and our worth is not defined by the love we receive or doesn't receive from another human being. We must unlearn the teachings of the society and look within ourselves to find the love we truly desire. We need to start from the beginning, before our minds were filled with the need to please and the need to sacrifice.

Once we are happy on our own, and we learn how to love ourselves without faking it, the rest of it won't seem so difficult anymore...

LIFE WILL NEVER GO EXACTLY TO PLAN... LEARN HOW TO ENJOY THE PROCESS.  Most people expect life is going to be like a bus trip... You simply choose your destination. You hop on the bus. You arrive at your destination. It's fair. It's straight forward and it's easy.  But life is not like a bus ride. It's more like a sail boat... You get on. You intend to go in a certain direction, but the wind takes you somewhere else. There's rockyseas, followed by calm seas, followed by dark nights, storms, crashing waves, some more calm and some more storms. It's up and down. You have to adjust to the wind. You have to survive the storms and you have to endure the challenges if you want to see the sun shine another day.  In life things will never go to plan all the time. Sometimes it's challenging. Sometimes it's dark and stormy. You must keep going, you must remain strong if you wanna enjoy the blessings that are coming. The sun is always shining even on th...

Awareness created is information believed Often a times, we sit back, waiting and hoping that people would know about us, our products, talents, whatever unique and reforming information we have, just by hearing it from a third party, realising it themselves, or even having a talk with us. Unfortunately, what we have to offer cannot be believed if we do not create it's awareness. You must work hard to let people know that you design the best, you sing exceptionally, etc. No one will know the taste of a meal you didn't serve. So, you must serve your meal! You must attract consumers! Stand up and share/tell your story!  Stand up and take those your knitted items to schools and show them to students! Take you pen and paper, write down those songs you're composing, sing it to friends!  Record them in your phone if you have one that records, if not, keep composing in your mind! Write down those ideas, even if you don't see where it would help right now, just keep...

24 hours. 1,440 minutes, 86,400 seconds. We all have the same number of seconds, minutes, and hours in a day. The difference is what we choose to do with them. How did you spend your weekend? Did you spend it partying? Watching TV? Talking about meaningless gossip?. Or did you follow through with your commitment of doing what's necessary to reach your goals. Many people in this world won't have the privilege of seeing another morning, so don't waste yours. When you wake up tomorrow, be fired up about your life. When my feet hit the floor, the clock starts ticking for me and I know I'm not going to waste a second doing something that's not valuable to my end goal. I have zero time for Gossip. Zero time for Negativity. Zero time for Television. Zero time for Doubt. Zero time for BS. You have greatness within you. You have the choice to change the direction of your life. I don't care if you are broke, if you dropped out of school, or if you'v...
