It Is Up To You

What we are going through today could have been prevented, but we did not prevent them. We allowed them to harm us. We allowed them to set us back. We allowed them to stop us from moving forward. Why?

Many problems we are facing today are not really problems. The way we react to the problems makes them even worse. It is up to you if you want to be reactor or a proactor. It is up to you to make the right decisions to change your circumstances today- right now! It is up to you if you still want to continue hanging out with friends who put you down, who belittle you, who never support anything that you want to do, who never want you to succeed in anything. It is up to you.

It is up to you whether or not you want to start taking responsibility for your actions, and stop blaming people for what has happened to you. The more you blame other people for your own mess, the more frustrated you will be.

It is up to you whether or not you want to forgive people who have treated you badly. It is up to you.

It is up to you whether or not you want to develop yourself- personally and professionally. You can do it if you want to, but it is up to you.

It is up to you to love or hate yourself. It is up to you, not me.

Self-Love…Why You Need It

If you haven’t done it before, give yourself a rose- right now! GIVE YOURSELF A ROSE!

You cannot love other people without starting with yourself. Love yourself before you can love other people. YOU DESERVE TO BE LOVED! One way to love yourself is to never, never, never compare yourself to other people. You have your life to live. They have theirs. For example, if you say you love yourself so much, your actions and your lifestyle should back it up.

Give yourself a rose. This rose!

If you want to be really happy, you must love yourself. You must respect yourself. You must accept yourself. You must live with yourself. It does not matter how you look- short or tall, educated or not, rich or poor, fat or slim. You must love and celebrate yourself. There is no one like you. You are a unique human being.

Everything about you is uniquely yours. You cannot find it anywhere, because you are unique.

“Everything about you is uniquely yours.”

When you love yourself, it means you are comfortable with yourself. It means you are living your own life. It means you are not trying to be like other people. Don’t even think about it! It has never worked before, and it will not work for you. For example, don’t be like other people who say, they ‘love themselves,’ but aren’t happy with who they are.

If you have the gut to love yourself, others will love you. Self-love is good for you, and it is also good for the people around you. It is contagious. It is infectious. They will feel it. They will live it. They will celebrate it. Give yourself a rose- right now!
