Rule No. 1: LOVE THYSELF

by iamdomokent18
It has been so long since my last story, DESPERATELY LOOKING, WAITING DESPERATELY. I just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who made time reading it. If you haven't read it yet, you can find it in my profile. ENJOY.

With this new one, I actually planned to write another love story, specifically ROMANCE, but I came to a realization, why not write about the first thing we all should do, TO LOVE THYSELF, "SELFLOVE" as they say. Knowing what's your worth and knowing how to value yourself amidst your every day struggles and trials, this will be my focus. Well, this is my personal view about selflove, and might it be that we have differing views, you can comment yours below.

I have to admit, once in a while, whenever I'm in a very difficult situation or when I'm feeling down (6feet underneath. LOL), I lose my confidence and forget what I'm capable of, WHAT I'M MADE OF. It is actually impossible to not feel that way because at some point in our lives, we have faced DISAPPOINTMENTS, FAILURES, ENVY, INSECURITIES, and BROKEN PROMISES, and these are the moments we feel less LOVED, feel less CARED and feel less WORTHY. GIVING UP has been a pop-up option in these moments. But hey, these moments should not define who we are. You are definitely better than that, I am better than that, WE ARE ALL BETTER THAN THAT. Instead, THESE MOMENTS SHOULD DEFINE WHO WE CAN BE, more STRONG, more READY to face the word and more WORTHY.

How many disappointments have you faced before you learned that life will not always give you what you want, then you bring out the best in you and get it yourself? How many failures have you encountered that made you cry before you said to yourself, I CAN DO THIS, and BOOM, it made you become who you are now? How many enviousness do you feel towards other people who have more than what you have before you start counting what you have and realize that you're far more blessed than others and with that you feel contentment? How many insecurities have gotten into you before you look to the deeper meaning of beauty and love and eventually made you feel better about yourself? How many promises have broken your heart and made you remember that not everyone will take care of your heart thus you have taken care of it yourself? How many times? Many, many, many times! STAND PROUD coz you have made it this far. Not everyone can make it this far.

You know what, in life, it doesn't matter if you fall hard, just remember that the ones who fall harder are opt to bounce the highest. As Beyoncé said, "The reality is, sometimes you lose. And you're never too good to lose, you're never too big to lose, you're never too smart to lose; it happens, and it happens when it needs to happen. And you have to embrace those things". Do I need to expound on that? I think not.

Lastly, let me share a quote from Louise Heath Leber, "Remember that it might be all right to be content with what you have, but never with what you are. There's always room for improvement - it's the biggest room in the house.". We may have different views and opinions in life, but one thing I know we can all agree, WE CAN BE BETTER THAN WHAT WE ARE YESTERDAY!

Let this be my reminder to everyone: Whenever you feel down and lonely, say this line, "I HAVE MADE IT THEN, I CAN DEFINITELY MAKE IT NOW, TOMORROW AND FOREVER!".

Some one said i would die today,
im still waiting for the final verdict,
roaming in pain,
walking through hell,
still found nothing,
but the same voice saying,
Some one said i would die today.
