Last week, I was pretty excited about the opportunity to share weekly ideas and scripts that play out in my life. Well it is one week and as I type, I don’t feel the adrenaline rush; I don’t feel the drive I felt last week but the good thing is that I am not doing this for me!!
I am doing this because; there are some people [at least 1 person] who would be glad and grateful that I didn’t stop writing. It may not be now, it may be days, weeks, months or even years from now but it sure will come in handy.
Now as we proceed every week, one lesson I will always want to stick with you is this:
THREE THINGS TO MAKE YOUR LIFE THE BEST LIFE NOW:
- THE GOD YOU KNOW
- THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE ACCESS TO
- THE FRIENDS YOU KEEP
So let’s proceed!
Last week we looked at WHAT ARE YOU DOING? This week, I want to introduce us to a concept not very popular. It is the phrase LOVE YOURSELF!! And this is what we would be looking at.
Don’t ever let anyone, thing make you think less of yourself and make you love you less. You know at times one of the greatest mistakes we make especially as relational beings is to love someone or something more than we give love to ourselves. Don’t ever get too committed to someone or something to the detriment of your own happiness and self-love. Note that I am not saying be selfish. Not at all! I am saying before you commit to someone, before you commit to a project, ask yourself this question honestly WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME? It necessarily may not be monetary, but there must surely be something in it for you either in the short-term or long-term.
In loving yourself, here are somethings you must note:
- Be CONFIDENT in yourself and in your ability to be who you are designed to be.
- Be BOLD enough to declare your stand on issues.
- Be CONTENT in your skill but always look for more avenues to develop yourself [you can’t know it all!!]
- Be PROUD of yourself and place a demand on your value.
Don’t ever allow anyone make you feel used. No one deserves such power. Always put yourself in a position of advantage. Negotiate for yourself first!!
Truth is until you love you; nobody will love you. Like someone told me “Nobody will love you beyond how they see you love yourself”.
In conclusion, true love comes from knowing that GOD LOVES YOU AND YOU HAVE ALL IT TAKES TO LOVE YOURSELF IN WAYS THAT WILL AMAZE THE WORLD!!
I love you endlessly.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Watch out something is brewing for the end of May.
