Why You Should Never Joke With The Love You Have For Yourself

Self-love is what you need. You don’t need love from anywhere. If you do not love yourself, if you do not take care of your life, of your work, of those who are for you, then don’t expect to get it from anywhere.

People are not selfish. They are just doing their own things. They are taking care of their own things, their own lives.

So if you want other people to even see you as a human being, you must first do it for yourself. You must respect who you are, no matter what. You must stop beating yourself up for nothing.

You must learn to be there for yourself when no one cares, when people are not nice to you.

Do not worry about what is not worth your time. Create space for yourself. Make time to love, to play with yourself. Stop doing too much. Productivity is not about doing too much. It is about loving what you do. It is about spending your time wisely.

It is about doing more with less. It is about spending time with quality people. It is about doing quality work with quality people.

If you are really serious about taking care of your life, then you must be comfortable with yourself.

The question is, ‘How comfortable are you with yourself?’

Integrity Is…

Your integrity is not what you say. It is not what you do. Your integrity is who you are. It is how you do what you do.

You can talk all you like. People don’t want to hear you. They want to see you in action. They are after what you can do, not what you can say.

People are after what you think about them, not about what you think about yourself.

Because we are too good at thinking about ourselves, but not about others.

But that is not how integrity works. Integrity is about trust. It is about respect. And it is about being you, no mattter where you are. Integrity is about taking care of yourself. It is also about treating other people with love and respect.

Above all, integrity is saying to other people, ‘trust me, I am who I am, no matter what.’

According to Iyanla Vanzant, ‘Integrity. The good in you coming out of you as a statement of who you know yourself to be. Integrity. The commitment to acting on what your heart feels and knowing your heart feels good about who you are and what you do in every situation. Integrity. The willingness to be diligent in giving your best, first to yourself and then to everyone else, knowing that every moment of contact with another being is a gift from God. Integrity. Yearning to know the truth. Seeking the truth. Learning the truth. Spreading the truth. Acting in truth for the sake of honoring truth for the good of everyone, including yourself. Integrity. Accepting all that is and choosing to live by all that honors you and honors God, without condemning the other parts. Integrity, not right or wrong.Your integrity is the power that records, rewards and restores your position in the universe of life.’

If your integrity is not strong enough to face the forces of life, what are you doing to make it stronger?
