Love Yourself
Peace be upon to you.
Love yourself so you know what you deserve.
Love yourself and accept yourself for who you are.
It's okay if you are short, fat, tall, thin, chubby, dark, white.
Among all sperm that try to swim and win the race just to get out and see the world, its you the one that Allah choose to grow up in this cruel world. You are the winner of yourself.
After all, some of us including me sometimes tend to forgot to love myself.
I may regret many things. Words I say, words I didn't say.
Decisions I made. Decisions I didn't make.
Feelings I expressed. People I listened to. People I confided in.
Questions I ask, answers I gave. Promises I made, promises I believed.
Reflecting is essential but regret should not ground you in the past.You should be grateful that you have a conscious mind that realizes what is right and wrong.You should give yourself strength to wisely use your present to make your future better. Love yourself and know yourself better.
Never aim to be understood by others before you understand yourself. You know your weaknesses and struggles, and you are the one who works to overcome them. So, your strength means more to you than it could ever mean to anyone else. If you don't stop judging yourself, putting yourself down, believing that this is as good as you can be then you've closed doors for yourself before they even appear in front of you. You've become a slave of your past.
Don't expect to be who you want to be without being true to yourself and believing in yourself.
Who else gonna believe in yourself if it is not you ?
If you don't believe in yourself, don't expect anyone to believe in you.
If you don't see the best in yourself, don't expect anyone to see the best in you.
If you make yourself believe that you need people to accept you, then you are giving them the right to reject you.
You don't need anyone to accept you.
You can't make anyone understand you.
You can't make anyone to love you, listen to you, trust you or even like you.
It's you and yourself.
No one knows what you need to do more than you do.
Cry when you need to. It's relieving.
Laugh when you need to. It's healing.
Sit alone when you need to. It's eye-opening.
You are more worthy of being taken care of than anyone around you. I mean the care that your soul needs. Everyone around us is struggling somehow. Do not allow the fear of failing to stop you from jumping. Do not allow the fear of exposure to stop you from shining. Happiness is in our own hands.
so why you need to bother others to love you perfectly, if you can love yourself better?
Treat yourself better, recite an Al-Quran, go shopping, reward yourself, go for a holiday, spend your quality time with your family, go out and explore the world.
Before you expect people to put themselves in your shoes, put yourself in your own shoes.
Worry about changing what you need to change.
Don't ever allow anyone to make you feel that being a good person is something bad.
Don't ever allow anyone to make you feel that you need to prove anything to them.
Believe in yourself. Believe in goodness. Live your life the way you know you want to.
Believe me after you know yourself better, you will live happily and the less nonsense you'll tolerate.
It's not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It's necessary.
See you again on my next post!
