Often times when you think about "love", where does your mind go? For some of us it might be the love shared between a couple or a family, friends etc. Rarely however do we think about ourselves. The world can feel like its spinning a million miles an hour, I know mine is. We spend so much time making sure everyone else is okay that we often times neglect ourselves. We love everyone and try to make sure they know that, but what about making sure we know we love ourselves? That were happy with who we are? You may be thinking I've gone crazy right now trying to tell you to love yourself lol. I'm serious though, we are our biggest critics and I feel like we spend so much time critiquing ourselves that we forget to be happy with who we are. We tend to excuse mistakes of ones we care about, as we should but then we dwell on our own mistakes and let them tear us apart. We need to show ourselves the compassion we show others and we need to be comfortable with who we are as our own person before we can truly be comfortable with anyone else. This leads me to something else I've thought about lately. Everyone wants to be loved by someone but if we don't love ourselves then how can we let someone else love us? Think about it this way, someone loves you but because you don't truly love yourself, you can easily be blind to this or not understand why they love you, like you don't deserve it. I think we've all felt that way, I know I have. So how do you fix this? Get to know yourself again, learn the ins and outs of you before jumping into trying to help everyone else. I'm not saying go get full of yourself but do things to make yourself feel good, to make you feel confident and see what loving yourself can really do in your life. If you want to work in others lives you must always begin in your own :)
I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for
This was absolutely beautiful and inspiring babe❤️️❤️️❤️️
