I have been selling myself short for a long
time and I know many people out there have been too. If you are good enough for
yourself, you will never need to be good enough for anyone else. Many of us
work our arses off trying to please others. Literally bending over backwards to
please other people, trying to meet other people standards. Most people do this
because they don’t believe they are good enough. It is a lack of self esteem
and self confidence that drives you to try and meet other people’s expectations
while you set non for yourself. Just a thought, imagine if you took the time to
make yourself a better person, work hard enough to be the best you can be….would
you ever need to try and meet other people’s standards where yours are sky
high?!
I know it’s a hard knock life out here,
sometimes it gets a little cloudy when people do not seem to appreciate you and
you feel like you’re losing your worth. In a bid to try and get the attention
and appreciation, you act out by trying to be what others want you to be. You end
up buying drinks you shouldn’t be buying and wearing clothes you shouldn’t be
wearing just so someone can look at you twice and tell you that you look good. Am
sure we have all heard a girl say, ‘my guy loves it when I wear short skirts’. I
do appreciate the effort to make those who are close to your happy but it doesn’t
mean that you have to freeze your legs out just to make others smile.
Being you, and I do mean the best of you, will
not only get you the appreciation that you truly deserve but also the self
confidence that you need not to seek affection from others but to love
yourself.
I know one of the biggest vices of seeking
approval and attention from others is lying. Lying about who you are, where you
come from and a mirage of other things. Lying leaves you on the edge, uncomfortable
and vulnerable and whether the truth ever comes up or not, no one will ever truly
appreciate you on a lie. You will always have to watch your back and constantly
dig deeper in the tunnel of lies leaving you unhappy and the lies will eat you
up inside.
I vouch for focusing on YOU. You are young,
with a while lifetime ahead of you, do you really want to spend it with your
lips stuck on someone’s ass? Freeing yourself from the bounds of pleasing
others and realizing what you can achieve will not only get you admiration but
also respect and the quality of life that you want to live.
It has been said a million times before but it
has never been meant as much as now, ‘Love Yourself First Before You Expect
Others To Love you!’
