In todays society its all too easy to get consumed by everything else namely the ownership of "things" I myself am guilty of wanting the new Michael Kors bag or penthouse apartment opposite sugar hut.It is easy to forget or not even know what life is really about in the first place, we are brought into this world by loving parents if we are fortunate enough to have them and raised to know right from wrong or at least what they believe to be right and wrong, fast forward a few years and we are teenagers bombarded by media telling us what we need to become and own to be the definition of "perfect".We work really hard to get a high paying job to make money to create this magical life where money is no object and believe THEN we will be happy.
I am not for one second saying that money is bad or that we should not spend money on ourselves , the complete opposite actually you should definitely spend money on yourself as that is a form of loving yourself which is what we were brought in the world for "to be loved" by ourselves and by others.
What I am saying is that money, things or been what the society considers beautiful is NOT everything! Depression and suicide are on the rise and we wonder why, its easy to lose your way in this life forget that we are loved or know that we our loved but feelings of uncertainty, doubt, fear and insecurities should as not feeling good enough can cloud our minds.We need to learn and to teach ourselves to love ourselves and everything about us we are all each one of us a unique powerful entity, there is not and will never be another one of you! Think about this the next time you go to give yourself a hard time and then just don't! think okay I'm ...... and thats fine thats who I and I'm just going to love that about myself.
I am very fortunate to come from a loving immediate and extended family and by extended I mean really loving, kind and supportive friends that I know i will have for life no matter where they are in the world,but even I have been through times in my life where things didn't seem to be going my way and all I could focus on were the negative things.Thankfully I have come through the other side and learned a lot on the way now I've come to appreciate everything that happened to me the good and the as I seen them at the time "bad" things. If you look back on your life and you have resentment towards anything or anyone the only way to really get over it (and believe me you want to, as it will cause you more pain and problems than anyone) is to look at the positive things to come out of that situation, there always is at least one even if its just that going through it helps you to have compassion for people in the same situation now.
What i have learned is to really treat everyone as would like to be treated so that everyone you meet you leave a little bit of your love with them,love is what life is about and thus relationships are what life is all about.Take time today to appreciate every single relationship in your life, they provide you with the opportunity to experience the miracle that is love the most amazing unexplainable thing in this thing we call life!
Hope you take something from this
