Learn to Love Yourself : Know Your Worth


      I harbor pain that is unspoken. I carry scars that are unseen. I am my biggest critic. I have giving my all to those who aren't worth my time. OMG, I realize that time is all I have. Time that I spent in pitiful relationships. Time, working at jobs feeling unfulfilled. I use to consider my self a victim. Now I consider my self a survivor. Because victims never heal but survivors grow stronger. My next step is to be a warrior. Because warriors fight on. This post is the first in a series about self-love. There are levels  to this. Level one is to recognize your worth. Not what people tell you your worth. Not how worthless you may have been feeling. But your true worth.
                             
      The video above "Meet Yourself..." - Niko Everett at TEDxYouth shares a story that I can relate to. You may have let the circumstances that you grew up in define your self worth. You may have let your friends or family negativity influence how you look at yourself. If you where not affected by such things; more power to you. I struggled for along time fighting with depression and doubting myself. In all of my relationships and friendships, I failed. I was use to feeling small. So I allowed those closest to me get away with murder. When they where done they sped away like the greatest opportunists. Leaving my heart wounded in the wake. I thought I knew what love was. I thought I knew what love felt like. But I was fooling myself. Because I didn't love myself enough.


      So how did I get out of this mindset. It took me some years. I had to take a hard look in the mirror at myself . Instead of thinking of all my flaws. I thought of my strengths. My strengths: I am selfless and enjoy helping others. I am a hard worker. I am consistent. I am reliable and I kept going. At this moment you should do the same thing. Now think how great a person you are. Say these positive affirmations to yourself "I love myself, and I am worth being loved." , "My past doesn't own me; I am that much stronger because of it.", "I deserve to be loved and cared for.", " I deserve to lead a better life.", "l deserve to be happy." Now consider this. Your worth more than any price tag that someone
could attach to you. You are unique and beautiful just the way you are. You are not perfect, but that is okay, because nobody is perfect.

    Now it's time to make those life changes. Do what you must to pull yourself out of whatever rut your in. Don't think of your self as a victims; victims are powerless; victims live in fear. You are
meant to be loved not battered amd discarded. Only you can heal those wounds. It's time to truly love.

Learn to Love Yourself: Fight For Your Furture

    This might sound cliche but it's the bold truth, that you have to fight for what you want. And the harder you scuffle the closer you come to obtaining it. That goes from everything in life from job promotions, respect in a relationship, equality among peers and on and on. Sometimes the battle is to move forward or away from someone or something. Never stop fighting. If you do that means you have let down your guard. If you let down your guard you give away the control you have over your life. This is part two of my "Learn to Love Yourself." Series. In part one I helped you find your true worth. This time around I will prepare you to become a warrior so you can brawl for it all.         "Some people die at age 25..." - Benjamin Franklin. I first heard that quote from the world renowned Les Brown. The quote means some people give up on there true aspirations and dreams at age 25. Some people that we deem to be successful aren't exactly happy. This ...

Never Stop Believing - Maintain Your Faith

          There comes a time in a man's life whereas he must yield to a greater power and let GOD lead him. Many people are to egocentric, bull headed or simply to afraid to act on GOD's word. Thank goodness  I was not. 1 year ago to this date I asked my father in heaven for guidance and he answered me swiftly. I was working in a career path that I grew in financially fast, but I was unhappy and very stressed. To  the point I felt I was getting ulcers. The stress level raised so high one day I got of from a long day of  work and parked my work van. I got out of my vehicle to stretch and I passed out. I woke up about 3  minutes later with scrapes on my left arm and face. It was after office hours no one would have found  me till the morning time if I had not regained consciousness. I realized I had to make a drastic change  toward a positive direction in my life.     Walking in blind faith I started a new leaf on life and i...

One Step At A Time

      I don't know what tomorrow holds for me, but I know I have to take it one step at a time. I woke up this morning tired and weary. I am fighting the flu yet I stayed up late last night working on my newest  entrepreneurial venture . I have to get up and go to school. I have to continue to build my Smart Home  startup  website. I have to fiqure out what to write for this blog. Notice I kept repeating that "I have to". That is me willing myself to do. I make them my priorities. Starting a small business and still dealing with my everyday life is a major juggle. This post is for all those worrying about tomorrow. Have faith that a power higher then you will be your guide.       All around my home are positive affirmations; hung on walls, on the shower curtains, on the side tables. It's interesting because these symbolisms where put up by my girlfriend, and she doesn't even like affirmations. She is the type that is just naturally...
