Every day, you have a multitude of opportunities to love yourself. You can
take care of yourself physically, seek intellectual stimulation, carefully
manage your emotions or feed your soul. You have options, so please tell me what’s so bad about being you? You can choose to do anything you want. You can dress all the way up, or you can choose to be comfy dressed down. You have total control over every situation in life; why are you allowing someone or something to take over?
Who you are depends solely on how you see yourself and how you choose to behave. Although seeking peace with everyone is good, you must live for yourself. Learn to reject criticism and not be affected by others’ negative opinions. Just because a person makes a statement or tells you their opinion doesn’t mean that it’s true, and you should believe it. In adverse situations when others may talk down on you, don’t absorb their empty words, move on quickly without dwelling on it and remind yourself of all the greatness within you.
