I sit in my room and think to myself who am I to myself, what do I think of myself, and what do I want to achieve for myself. How do I see myself now and the future? And most importantly do I like myself? We all should be willing to help others and live peacefully with everyone we may meet. But how can we do that when we can’t accept ourselves.
I admit I struggle with loving what I see in me or in the mirror. I have always listened to what others said about me and never listened to me. There is a reason why I say I don’t think I have ever truly been in love. It’s because I am not sure if I ever loved myself. Just a couple years ago I started to listen to my internal voice and using my external voice.
I am still working on not taking other people’s opinions about me to heart and focusing on mine. I now have a clear vision for myself. I know what I want. I know who I want to be. I know what I want to do.
This is a journey we all need to take. It’s never too late and you are never to old. Many give up and become satisfied with what they have and what they do even if it’s not even close to what they hoped for. We don’t always get what we want, but the point is not to quit trying to get there.
I am lucky to have two daughter’s that push me and won’t let me quit. I hope you have someone who pushes you to achieve your dreams and cheer you on through the battle. You may hate them when they nag at you, but in your heart you know they are doing it for you and your true happiness… and so you can feel accomplished for trying no matter how it turns out.
