Hey, I have something to say. Have you ever found yourself asking, “My intentions were good, then where did I go wrong? Why can’t people understand me?”There was a time when I used to ask myself this question, a lot. All I could think of it was that I write,I express. People understand, and grasp as per their understanding. Situations are not the same for everyone. When we value people, we start believing that others value us the same. Often it drives us insane. A little expectation is obvious when we love and trust, but we can’t depend on others for our happiness. Listen, we cannot and should not take anyone, or anything for granted.
How I wish, I could tell some people,” Love yourself enough to live your own life. Stop comparing your life with others. You have no idea of their struggles. You are breathing. You are alive. When you are living your own life, with acceptance, you are at peace. Take care of your health. Stay mindful, and make healthy choices”.

Self love is quite difficult initially to practice as our mind keeps telling us we are being selfish. But once you learn to silence that voice, its a great relief. I found my ability to self love in 2015 and havent looked back since then.
ReplyDeleteAll the best with your journey Payal
Great advice, Payal. We're blessed to be able to express ourselves through our writing.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more, Payal. Self love is essential. The earlier we realise this, the better it is. Sadly, we all come to this realisation the hard way, but it need not be so.
ReplyDeleteTrue. You need to think of yourself first. In fact someone once gave me a very nice definition of selfish. She said that just like childish means like a child, selfish is like your self. So act like yourself not like someone else. Be yourself and like yourself.
ReplyDeleteI always remember that when I tend to compare myself to others.
Just the kind of thought process needed to start day. Self love is important for our mental well being. Like all things in life, weneed to find a balance.
