Today at the gym a group of us ladies were chatting about life, love and men after finishing an intense cardio class. Someone brought up a quote I had never heard before and it got me thinking. She said, "I know what I bring to the table and I am not afraid to eat alone"
Re-read it! Think hard on it! Even make it your wallpaper on your phone, because honestly this is the quote you should use for any situation you are in. This one quote could and should be applied to just about any situation possible and it's likely the wisest thing I have ever heard. Of course the way this was used earlier was in the context of dating, but there are so many others that this could fit in. Boss not admiring your work and full potential? Find a new job! Your boyfriend or girlfriend making you feel like useless trash? Leave them! Because as soon as you feel like you are the problem in the situation and you did nothing wrong, that is the point to walk away!
I'm not necessarily saying that in every situation, that you are not the problem. Every situation is different and at least one time in your life you have probably been the source of the issue, but if you are giving 110 percent and still are getting put down about everything you are doing wrong, it's time to stop!
This leads me to my next point, you need to know your worth. Just because tone person doesn't believe you are enough, does not mean you are not. You are enough. God created you for a purpose and that reason is greater than anything anyone ever thinks about you. If they think other wise, get up and leave, because someone out there will appreciate every single little thing you do, even if that person is you.
You also have to learn to Love yourself and make yourself happy. If you're going to be sitting alone, you have to be entertained. If you are not going to be happy with yourself, then who else is? Being happy with yourself will make you unstoppable. This will also make you a strong, happy, independent woman or man.
I myself am guilty of not doing this enough. Being single, I often think about settling just to be in a relationship, not waiting for someone good for me, or someone who respects me, or most importantly waiting for someone who likes me for who I am. But knowing that one special guy is out there for me, who will fit this whole list above, makes me not afraid to sit alone for just a little longer.
So next time you are being put down for something or not being appreciated enough, know your worth and remember this quote and never be afraid to sit alone.
