The opinion you have about yourself is the only opinion that matters. From the beginning of our lives we are taught that what other people think about us is important and to an extent that is true. What your boss thinks about you is important, what your colleagues think about you is important, what your family thinks about you is important but what YOU think about yourself is the only opinion you should be worrying about.
We have become so consumed with our image and with how others perceive us that we do not stop for a moment and remind ourselves that no one’s opinion about us is important in the end. God made you an extraordinary person. Regardless of what others may say about you or may think about you, you are perfect and whole just the way you are. If you believe this and if you gain this self-confidence, your life will be changed. You will live your life differently. You will start to see the good in others. You will want to help others come out of their shell and show their extraordinary hearts. You truly will want to make this world a better place.
I propose more self-love. I propose more self-confidence. Each and every one of us has something so exceptional to offer this amazing world we live in which is full of so many extraordinary human beings. There is a freedom that comes with loving the perfect person God made you to be and it is up to us to show the world all that we have inside our hearts. I will admit, it is so terrifying. It is scary to even think about, opening your heart up for the world to see but it is the most self-fulfilling moment. Once you start showing yourself more love and kindness, you will feel free. It is different for everyone but when everyone starts to show that compassion towards their self, this world will start to see a movement of self-love which is what this earth needs.
Instead of using hate to fuel our egos we should use love and gentleness. Love can go a long way in someone’s life. Passion can drive some people to do amazing, wonderful things. Until we start treating our neighbors with love and kindness, they will keep their passions bundled up inside. We need to start showing sympathy towards the broken hearted. Once you start to give love, you will soon find love coming to you in so many amazing ways.
Love yourself. Love your demons and your scars. Love will take you so far in life and if you fall get right back up and keep spreading the love and joy of this amazing life we have been given. Life is such a blessing and it is so short so we must spend every minute loving and spreading laughter to all of our neighbors, brothers, and sisters. I know that it may be hard at times and that things do get in the way of our happiness but once we get past our struggles we will appreciate them because they are what make us human. Our struggles and our suffering make us stronger and more adequate to love the people God put on this earth.
So love yourself and all that you are. Even if right now you do not think it is possible to love who you are, time will slowly show you that it is possible to love your demons and your struggles. You are amazing, you are strong, you are infinite.
