Love Yourself a Bit More

 Love yourself a bit more.

Be appreciative of how some people live their life, irrespective of what other people say about them or whatever hardships life throws at them. At some point they might seem arrogant, egoistic and carefree, but deep down, nobody knows what they are going through inside. Some people choose self love above anything and simply try to live a better life no matter what. 

There was a girl who was often criticized for being different. Yet despite the bad comments and harsh words, she chose herself. She chose to treat herself better and she chose to live her life. There were times when I intentionally skipped the videos of her but overtime, I learned something from her. Her consistency, her resilience and her self love is something I should learn from her and unknowingly, she taught me so much. I feel appreciated every time I see her now. 

I don’t resort to giving bad comments or giving feedback when I encounter people on social media who seem flashy and clumsy, I rather choose to skip or ignore their videos and I like this part about myself. There are quite a few people whom I don’t like watching their content but it keeps coming on my page everytime. Over time, upon seeing their videos repeatedly, I learned that they were not being flashy, nor trying to get attention, nor being self-centered but they are just living their life, choosing peace and calm and getting through their own challenges and hardships. 

It was never their fault. It was my own assumptions that made it difficult for me to accept some people. I failed to see the love, care, and lessons each person carried within them. When I think deeply about it, life itself is beautiful because of the highs and lows that shape each one of us.

With time, I need to be more appreciative of the things happening around and I need to look deeply into the situations. There are people who teach us without saying anything and also some situations which make us a lot wiser and a lot more humble. 

There were times, when everything felt like it was targeted towards you. You will be knocked down over and over again by life and it will throw lots of hardships. Time may seem lengthy, everything seems dark, people seem rude and the road seems harsher but this is just the way of life testing our patience, it is a time where we should be resilient and try to stand up on every fall. The grass on the other side of the meadow looks greener, it is just life deluding you to the wrong way, you should be firm enough to keep your decisions intact. 

Life treats everyone in much the same way. Each of us carries our own share of joys and sorrows, victories and struggles. When life throws everything it has at us, it is our responsibility to shield ourselves, keep moving forward, and build a better future. Contentment cannot be found elsewhere. It can only be found when we learn to create it within ourselves.

So love yourself a little more. You never know how much strength, peace, and wisdom can grow from that simple choice.

Cheers!
