Life is like a game of cards. The hand that
is dealt you is determinism; the way you play it is free will. Jawaharlal Nehru
I went home
last night feeling really good about life, I’ve had a great week at work, my
meetings have been full of honesty and caring.
And the one thing I think we realised from them is it's okay to be
different - you don't need to be like everyone else. You're perfect as you
are! We are all individuals, and a
number on a chart or a weight on a scale doesn’t define us.
Sometimes you
may worry whether other people like you. At those times, you may pretend to be somebody
other than yourself. For example, you may try to act, talk, or dress like
someone you admire. You're great right now. You don't need to act like anyone
else. In fact, things will go a lot better, and you'll feel happier, if you'll
just be yourself.
If you feel
you need to be different from your true self, the problem may not be with you,
but with the people around you. Perhaps they're trying to change you. Change is
a part of life, and there may be behaviours that you can improve upon within
yourself, but be sure that you're not trying to change into a different person.
And also know that true friends love you
as you are and won't try to change you into someone new. True friends will ask
you to stop dangerous behaviours, but they won't try to change you in ways that
make you feel bad about yourself.
So spend your
time with true friends, instead of with people who don't understand you. Things
go better when you trust your intuition. Whatever the situation, you always know what
to do in your heart, so always trust your inner truth and act upon it. Great things can happen when you follow your
own inner voice, we are all here to make a positive difference to this world.
And the best way to do so is by being true to yourself, remember you're amazing
always.
No sure if you wanna be you? Trust me, you’re the perfect person for the
part and a bit of Self-Love is the Key to Life. Love makes the world go round, but it all
begins with you. If you want others to treat you well, treat yourself well
first. If you seek love from another, fall in love with yourself first. Whenever you need a little self-esteem boost,
inspiring and motivational self-love quotes. In fact if you’re really
struggling with the whole self-love thing, jot down your favourite and tape it
to your mirror or computer to help remind you to cherish yourself. Here’s a few to choose from;
To love oneself is
the beginning of a lifelong romance. Oscar
Wilde
Love yourself first
and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get
anything done in this world.
Self-love seems so often unrequited. Anthony Powell
Self-love seems so often unrequited. Anthony Powell
To fall in love with
yourself is the first secret to happiness. Robert Morely
If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself. Barbara De Angelis
Be gentle with
yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the
right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others. Wilfred
Peterson
The first stop on the road to romance is you. Honoring and loving yourself opens the door for another to truly do the same. Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway
"If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy. Kristin Chenoweth
Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite
their faults. Les Brown
Love yourself instead of abusing yourself. Karolina Kurkova
To love yourself right now, just as you are, is to give yourself heaven. Don't wait until you die. If you wait, you die now. If you love, you live now. Alan Cohen
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve love and
affection. Buddha
I don't like myself, I'm crazy about myself. May West
If you think all that’s nonsense and won’t help, trust me, I haven’t always been
this happy content person you see now, I used to be a real miserable cow who
had no time for anyone (as my old work colleagues 10 years ago!) and things
like sticking quotes up around my house have made a difference along with a
whole lot of other things. Give it a go,
what you got to lose. xx
