BEING THE BEST YOU THAT YOU CAN BE

THE LOVE OF SELF IS COMMON FOR MOST PEOPLE BUT ARE YOU TRULY HAPPY WITH YOURSELF? THE ARMY SLOGAN IS "BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE". PEOPLE MAY SAY THIS, BUT DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. TAKE A MOMENT AND SIT TO THINK OF HOW MANY TIMES A DAY YOU SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT YOURSELF

EXAMPLE:

"MY HAIR LOOKS LIKE SHIT"

"I FEEL I LOOK UGLY IN THIS OUTFIT TODAY"

"I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT SO I CAN LOOK LIKE THE OTHER GIRLS"

"I FEEL UGLY TODAY"

'I'M TO DARK SKIN"

ECT.

WE SPEND MORE TIMES PUTTING OURSELVES DOWN THAN YOU THINK.

HOW CAN SOMEONE LOVE YOU WHEN YOU YOURSELVES HAVE NO LOVE FOR YOU, AT TIMES WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS INSTEAD OF OUR OWN COMMENTS ABOUT OURSELVES. I FIND THAT WOMEN HAVE THIS PROBLEM MORE THAN MEN. WOMEN WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM TEND TO VIBE OFF THE COMMENTS OF OTHERS BUT ARE ALWAYS DOWNING THEMSELVES OR THEY ARE IN CONSTANT SEARCH OF APPROVAL OR LOVE TO BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.

WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY, SELF RESPECT STARTS FROM THE HEART AND REALIZING THAT YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT PEOPLE SAY, YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT THAT BOY OR GIRL MAY WANT FROM YOU PSYCHICALLY, YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT SOCIETY TELLS YOU TO WEAR, YOU ARE MORE THAN THE CONSTANT APPROVAL OF OTHERS.

PRIDE AND SELF RESPECT GO A LONG WAY YOU MAY NOT REALIZE BUT THE PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK ARE THE ONES THAT THRIVE AND MAKE IT TO THE TOP. GET OUT OF THE WAY OF YOU BEING GREAT ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE. IF YOU CAN'T LOVE YOURSELF YOU CAN NEVER FULLY UNDERSTAND HOW TO LOVE SOMEONE ELSE!
