Self Worth

Hello Readers,

Make yourself a promise that from now on you make ‘yourself’ a priority, not an option, last resort or back up plan.  Start by putting down boundaries, stand firm and just watch how others begin to view you in a different light.

The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with yourself. When you are ‘different’, sometimes you don’t see the millions of people who accept you for what you are. All you notice is the person who doesn’t. If you are not happy with the person you spend the most time with, yourself, then no one out there in the whole, wide world can make you happy and until you are happy and content within yourself and neither can you make anyone else happy. You may not be able to control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them either. To manage to exist in a world that is constantly seeking to change you into something else other than allow you to just be who you are, is one of life’s greatest accomplishments.

Do not tolerate disrespect, not even from yourself. Successful people radiate self-respect, not self-loathing. The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others on how you demand to be treated. Accept no one else’s definition of your life. Don’t ever allow anyone to tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are, never take anything from anyone and never let them take you alive, because if you let them, they will, make no mistake about that. Never be silent just because someone else wants you to be. You are entitled to your opinion just as much as anyone else is. You can receive all the compliments in the world, but they won’t mean anything unless you believe in yourself. Always be a first rate version of yourself and not a second rate version of someone else because when you are content to simply be yourself, and don’t feel the need to compare nor compete with others, everyone will respect you.  All you can do in your life is be yourself and proud of who you are, what you have achieved and the strong, brave and courageous person you have developed in to.  Some people will love you for you, some will love you for what you can do for them and others won’t like you at all, but that is their problem, not yours, so never make the mistake of apologising for having high standards and being persuaded to lower them.  People who really want to be in your life will rise up to meet them and probably learn a thing or two from you about how they can make a few improvements themselves.  Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

Fall in love with someone who deserves your heart, not with someone who plays with it.

The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.

Until Next Week,

Love and Light,

Linda and The Lulas xxx
