We are all powerful beyond, men and women alike. However, there’s a tiny voice in our heads that fill us with feelings of doubt. Sometimes, these feelings arise due to comparisons. We live in a day and age where it can become so easy to compare our lives to the lives of others. Often times, we subconsciously make comparisons of ourselves and don’t even realize this. But we fail to realize that all that glitters isn’t always gold.
How many of us are longing to feel complete? Often times, we seek the wrong methods to find this feeling of completeness. We turn to other people and things to make us feel whole. We look to these things and people to validate us. We look to others to love us in a way in which we know we deserve to be loved. But why can’t we love ourselves this way? Why do we seek other people and not God for this feeling of completion?
How many times have you gotten your hopes up for what seems like the perfect opportunity, only to be disappointed? Sometimes, the job opportunity that seemed amazing doesn’t select us or the program we were so interested in pursuing doesn’t pick us either. The feeling of rejection can take every bit of happiness that one has and crush it to shreds within a matter of moments. At some point in our lives, regardless of the situation, we will all experience this feeling of rejection. It’s not how we act in these moments of rejection that will shape our lives, but how we react as a result of these decisions moving forward. Will you allow rejection to rule your life or will you keep going?
Enough.
A six letter word with such meaning and such impact.
Just because someone else doesn’t see your worth doesn’t mean that you are without worth. Just because things didn’t work out with someone, just because it seems as if everyone has left you, just because you see others settling down, and just because all of these negative thoughts have overtaken your head and heart does not mean that you are not enough. Because you are enough.
Accepting yourself means being unapologetically you, it means that you don’t constantly try to impress others with a persona you think they’ll like, but instead are naturally you. How do you define being naturally you?
Not only are we transforming in 2019, but we’re making it personal. It’s the year of you and in order to do so, you have to love everything that makes you you and makes your life unique to you.
It’s that time of the year where the year is coming to an end and everyone is gushing about their expectations and changed behavior for 2019. And contrary to popular belief, there is nothing wrong with these discussions. The only problem is when you speak about something and don’t carry it into fruition, which can be the case when people begin to get busy with the hustle and bustle of life. But, let us make 2019 different. Let us carry out everything we said we would and not make excuses for why we didn’t, let us be transformed by the renewing of our mind in 2019.
It is so important for us to reflect on what/who we are thankful for. We should do this whenever we can, not just when Thanksgiving rolls around. However, Thanksgiving allows us to hone in and express our thankfulness. And this blog entry discusses thankfulness.
Have you been going through changes in your life? Changes that may have you questioning the very fundamentals of what you thought you knew? Changes that weren’t necessarily warranted. Or maybe they were? Well, if you can relate to any kind of change (which I think we all can), then this blog is for you.
Some of us try to be the best, perfect, etc. But the reality is, sometimes, we’re simply a work in progress. We are working toward bettering ourselves so we can achieve our goals, aspirations, dreams, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
