My Narcississtic Self Tooting it’s Horns….

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “These Horns Were Made for Tooting.”

Strong woman

It almost borders on narcissism to talk about oneself with any form of adulation. It is as if you are opening up a voyeuristic door into the heart of your soul; but self-confidence requires sometimes, that we push the shackles of shyness aside and come out of our self-imposed shells, allowing eyes, ears and minds to take a glimpse into our soft core.

The softness of my core has been built with Resilience and Adaptive strength that even tends to surprise me as well. Having weathered some very discomfiting and turbulent seasons in my life, I have only come out more refined and stronger.

I sincerely do not accord this character trait to my individual strength, but to the Grace of God which abounds and has proven to be enduring.

Bearing grudges is to harbor pain and a waste of time by allowing someone to occupy rent-free space in my head. Thus said, for some reason which I cannot decipher, I do not indulge in creating expectations from anyone, that way I have no lingering feelings of disappointment if they should fail to meet such expectations.

By so doing, every little warm gesture becomes a pleasure to be savored.

As much as I like lovely, expensive things 😉 I am very, very contented with simple things.

  3. Beautiful Jacqueline! I can relate to all of your words here and reminded me of what my mother once told me – to not hold any grudges because you will just hurt yourself more by carrying them around. A lovely memory you brought up for me, thank you 😊

    1. Anand, an idea just popped into my head, I think I shall give you the assignment on educating us on what a strong man is made of. That would make a beautiful read (tag me in your post) I appreciate your lovely comments as always. Have a good one 🙂

      1. Your posts are beautiful, mine look like Mr. Bean walking around with an underwear on his head. I wish I knew what a strong man was made…but all that comes to my mind is muscles. I’ll try, I promise.
