Everyone has things they love. Things they are excited to pursue. Things they are passionate about. But, if someone were to ask you to list the things you love or the things you are passionate about, how long would it take for you to mention yourself?
You in entirety are a warrior. You have been through even your toughest battles. You have conquered each and every obstacle in your way. God has given you the strength to do just so much, and shouldn’t you be proud of that?
Often, we are kind to others and great at supporting and being proud of those around us. So when will we be proud of ourselves?
The answer is now.
The only way to flourish is to love yourself. You truly are an amazing thing. Prove it. Have confidence in who you are and let it shine out of you. Do what you love and be who you love. Change what you don’t like and critique yourself to be even better.
Just like plants, we grow with care. Care for yourself and about yourself. Stop putting yourself after everything else. Stop making excuses to not work on you. Your body and soul is something you will have forever. You can’t get rid of it. So you might as well love it.
You are beautifully made in the eyes of your beholder. In the eyes of the king of all. He is proud of you, and you should be to.
Grow. Love yourself. Do great things.
