We cannot control everything around us, but we can control ourselves. If we can control ourselves, then we can control everything within us. Do not worry about things you cannot control. Worry about yourself, your future, what you are doing. Worry about how you are going to nurture your seeds. The seeds of happiness. The seeds of joy. The seeds of love. The seeds of life. The seeds of becoming. If you can take care of them, if you can nurture your imagination, your future will take care of itself.

To live well, you must nurture yourself. And your life will get easier, according to Tyler Perry,

When you:

“Nurture your imagination with hard work, positive energy, ease, and self- encouragement.”- Tyler Perry, Higher is Waiting

If you do not encourage yourself, if you do not support yourself, no one is going to encourage you. If you want to suceed, be your own supporter.

“Life gets easier and happier when we let people be whoever they truly are. Stop expecting them to give you what they don’t have or don’t know how to give.”- Tyler Perry, Higher is Waiting

What you cannot give yourself, do not expect it from other people.

“When you know your worth, when you know your value, your life changes and you change lives.”- Tyler Perry, Higher is Waiting

When you know who you are, you know what you are worth. As a result, you do not settle for less than you are worth.

“Make a holy commitment to your beautiful self that you will only water the seeds of love, kindness, and self-worth, and you’ll let feelings of unworthiness wither on the vine.”- Tyler Perry, Higher is Waiting

Because love is life. Love is peace.

Because kindness is connection. Kindness is life.

Because self-worth is everything. Self-worth is you. Your self-worth is your life worth.

It is your inner life. It is your power. It is your inner energy.

If you do not have it, it is never to late to grow it.

If you are committed to it, you can grow it. You can develop it.

If you are willing to face yourself, you can grow your self-worth.

This Is What You Get When You Lose Touch With Yourself

You are in touch with yourself when you live in harmony with yourself. We suffer when we don’t listen to our true selves, when we don’t pay attention to what is going on within us.

You hear more when you listen. You hear yourself when you listen to yourself, not to others.

We don’t know who we really are because we are busy chasing wordly things. You can change it. Eckhart Tolle once said, “When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch withb yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.”

People lose touch with themselves when they are not comfortable with themselves, when they don’t trust themselves, when they don’t love themselves, when they are sacred to face their lives. Remember, if you do not have the gut to face yourself, then you are going to find it difficult to live a peaceful life.

No matter what, be there for you. If you are not there for you, no one can be there for you. And if you are there for yourself, for you, no one can be against you. As Dr Phil McGraw put it, “You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you.” Don’t let anyone tell you how to live your life.

No matter what is going on in the world, always listen to your soul. It is important. And do not be scared to be your own cheerleader. Be your own friend. Love yourself, no matter what. As Maxwell Maltz once said, “If you make friends with yourself, you will never be alone.” If you don’t want to be alone, you must be comfortable with yourself.

If you are not comfortable with yourself, you are going to be alone. Do you want that for yourself?
