Love Yourself First


Everything created in this world has its beauty but we don't see it.  Sometimes we don't appreciate it that much like we ought to.
Not everyone has the eyes to appreciate beautiful things wrapped in a dirty cover. Until you take the covering off you will never appreciate the gift which is wrapped inside.

Sometimes, we may be beating ourselves too hard wondering when all our hardwork and sacrifice are ever going to be rewarded.
Why does my husband not appreciate everything I do for him as a wife? I cook, clean, wash dishes and clothes and bear babies for him yet he does not value what I do. I buy the best things money can buy for my wife, yet she doesn't appreciate. I provide for the home and take care of our children yet she sometimes compare me with other men, only yells for me to do more. .
Why am I not valued or appreciated by the people who are supposed to value and appreciate me?

We feel very disappointed, frustrated and let down when our sacrifice and love is not returned equally by the people we give it to.

We ask ourselves many more of these questions, seeking to find answers. We don't find the answers we are looking for, because we ourselves don't appreciate or deeply love the things we do ourselves. We have to love ourselves first, value ourselves first before other people can give us back the love we expect from them.
We should not go looking for love, worth, appreciation and respect from other people when we haven't given these things to ourselves first. The sad thing is most of the people we do these things for, may never appreciate our sacrifice. They may not even say thank you. Just like the dirty cover wrapper wrapping the beautiful gift, never let the dirty cover wrapper of most people spoil or ruin the beautiful gift you are as a person.
So, please inspite of it being hard to do,  love yourself first in everything you do. Love yourself more  to love your husband too, love yourself  more to love your wife, love yourself more to love others.
This will help you understand that you do what you do from the good place in your heart. Not because you expect anything in return. You choose to do this yourself because of the person you are.
Do not let bitterness, indifference and apathy destroy the good things you do. Use self love and self appreciation to cure them all.
Help other people see the beauty in your own self so that self beauty will attract them to you.
Remember, the value and love you give yourself will attract the same love from others to you.
Do not let the ingratitude and ungratefulness of people spoil the inner beauty who you are.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

Change Your Words Change Your Life

Our brain while listening to words uses two separate areas to identify the mood and the real meaning of the words. Words are passed to the left temporal lobe of the brain for processing, and intonation is channelled to the right side of the brain, a region more stimulated by music. Do not speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke. You know why?? Because your brain and body doesn't know the difference. Words have energy and they cast spells on your body. Change the way you speak to yourself, change the way you speak about your life. What you are not changing in your life with positivity, you are actually choosing it to remain the same. How do you change negative words?? *Speak to Yourself* It directly influences how you experience things in life. Our words play an important part in shaping our existence, so if your internal self-talk is negative, your external experiences will most likely be negative as well. *Start with a small shift* Replace just one word th...

The  Inconvenient  Truth

We hate the truth so much today. We hate hearing about it and hate  it even more when it is coming from other people who we feel are not close to us. We are quick to swallow and lend our ears  to any lie that flatters us but find it hard, almost impossible to live with the truth because it may appear bitter to us. Meanwhile, it would have been much better for us and our lives to live knowing the truth and painfully taking the long path to do the right thing than to take a shortcut or a detour of many deadly pleasures just to do wrong. No matter how hard or  harsh, it may sound for you to hear the truth or receive it, if it is going to put your life in the right direction, please listen and listen good. Stay away from people who will hail you at every turn, people who find everything and anything you do to be nothing but good. Because none is perfect, we all have our good and bad sides. It is impossible for you to always have a good side all the time even if you fake i...
