I Woke Up and I was in love
"Value yourself. The only people who appreciate a doormat are people with dirty shoes"
Learning to love is a painful experience. It is a journey fraught with self doubt and insecurity. Learning to love yourself is even more difficult and more frightening. Here the self doubt escalates. Here you question your worth.
As a young girl I never attempted to love myself. I needed validation from the world. Reality check! The world will never validate you. It will ask you to serve , compete and it will laugh when you fail. The quest for external validation of our self worth is a fruitless one and can only lead to heartbreak.
My moment of revelation was when I came across the quote from Leo Buschalia. How many people with dirty shoes continued to walk all over me? I realised it was time to tell them to take their dirty feet away from me. Pruning useless and unworthy companions is as cathartic as getting rid of our negative thoughts.
I realised that I loved me. I was only obliged to love those who loved me back as fiercely.
I will always be angry over injustice, cringe from hate born of bigotry because that goes with the mission I have chosen. I will fight back with angry words when the world is unfair and whenever necessary I will take out my poison pen and fight for that is my life's work. I, on the other hand, will never experience a moment of self loathing. I accept who I am and I will allow myself to fall but never to be pushed to a fall. I will never blame myself for anyone's mistakes and when I make mine I will correct them because it is within my power.
I love me mind, body and soul and have decided to prune all those who place less value on me.
Let's walk the journey of self love together as you fall in love with you.
