The value that you place on yourself is the value others will place on you.
If you believe that you are not enough and fail to accept yourself, it shouldn’t surprise you when others view you the same way.
Be kind to yourself and break the self-recriminations. Self-love is not selfish. For love is born out of the abundance of who you are as a person (not your finances).
It’s only when your cup of love is full that it would overflow to others. If you are unable to love yourself in abundance, how much love do you think you would be able to extend to others? Give it a thought.

To exist is easy. So many are doing that already. What is far more challenging is to live. Jacqueline Oby-Ikocha
To live means to experience life and to truly experience life, you have to open all the windows to your soul.
The gift of the senses is given to us to maximise this opportunity. Stop and admire the flowers and your surroundings, listen to the buzz of life around you, see others with different eyes’, listen to hear and not just to reply, touch – embrace not just the familiar, taste something new, be adventurous, inhale deeply and identify the various smell.
Don’t just go through the motion of getting through the day. Open up your mind and live. Take an active role in your own development. Take advantage of your own potentials and uniqueness. Keep reaching for richer, deeper, life-changing experiences.
Your life is a story that only you’ve lived to tell. Write it like no one else could.

They searched high, they searched low
In nooks and crannies, far and wide
They looked to find, dragging so much behind
Not knowing that within them is all that they are searching for

Though your lines may look
all bent out of shape today,
Don’t despair!
Someday, you’ll look and see them
all fall in the right direction,
Keep repairing!

Sometimes, in the bid to aspire and to achieve, a lot of people over reach their purpose and passion.
This is most especially witnessed in today’s World where lives are lived on social media, in the eye of all and sundry and success is judged by the number of likes checked off in a box.
The litmus test should always be this question: ‘why am I doing XYZ?’ ‘searching the recesses of my heart and mind, would I find that am I truly contented with what I’m doing?’ ‘If not, why?’
The answers to your silent litmus should tell you all that you need to know because the truth is when you set off doing something without your own driving conviction and doing it because Mr. QED is doing so, chances are that it would simply become another White Elephant project.

For several weeks my blogging has been in a rut or should I use a more colourful word ‘funk.’
I don’t lack the ideas of what to write and actually, I have about a 106 blog posts sitting in my draft waiting for me, yet I lacked the zeal and felt uninspired to look at them.
Whittling down my blogging and trying to understand my inertia made me realize that what I crave is change. I’ve kind of fallen into auto-blogging and it started to feel like same old, same old routine.
The question that bounces without any answer is, what am I going to do differently?
Frank Sinatra’s words come to my mind;
So take a deep breath
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
Start all over again
I am probably going to revamp my blog, do a new thing or two. So, if you find yourself in a funk now and again, just keep calm. Sometimes, all we truly need is a little time, a change of pattern and even a fresh coat of paint works for the blog as well 🙂
