Katt Williams is much more funny when he says it, but it’s true all the same.
I’d like to assert that I am no expert and this is just an assessment of my introspective thoughts in times of turmoil. If this helps, I’m glad, but if you feel like your issues are much larger than something a motivational post can fix, call a professional. There’s nothing wrong with that!
This is my own theory on how a positive self-image is constructed:
1.You should not have to search for someone that’s going to love you unconditionally, as that person should live inside of you. If you’ve spent a lot of time beating yourself up, engaging in large amounts of negative self talk, that person is probably on retreat in the deep recesses of your mind and spirit. However, if you start to increase the your positive energy and make it safe, you’ll notice that person emerging from the cocoon you’ve created.
Self-Esteem is never completely lost:
2.If there’s ever been a time that you genuinely loved yourself free of any chemical motivation (drugs, alcohol or prescriptions) that place in your spirit never erases. Many times we lose touch with that piece of ourselves when we allow outside factors to determine what we believe in our minds. We also allow our minds to feed us lies about our bodies, we have an understanding that movement and nutrition are beneficial, yet we let ourselves go. You’re in charge of that. Recognize your ability to effect positive change in your life and recapture it.
There is such thing as “finding yourself”:
3. Many times we hear the term thrown around with reckless abandon and it’s easy to dismiss the person spouting the phrase as flighty. I challenge you to look into yourself and assess whether or not you are following the path that speaks to your heart the most. Life happens to us all, and many of us “end up” places both figuratively and literally. I can give at least ten starting over stories which include a few of my own, where people just let life take them down a particular road without a goal in mind, only to find that a U-turn is needed. Don’t knock “finding yourself”, just don’t hang around a bunch of people in transition. Confusion can only be combatted with focus, that’s the truth.
Who’s better than you?
4. Inadequacy issues are real. I’ve said it before on other platforms, if you walk into a room and you think that someone is better or worse than you, you start at a loss. The playing field is in your mind. The playing field is in you mind. The playing field is in your mind. Disadvantage is a delusion. Now that’s not saying that there are not prejudice and bias to overcome, but we are all afforded the same 24hrs of the day and it’s up to us to maximize that time to our advantage. If we chose not to fill our day with things that will improve aspects of our lives then we don’t have any standing to say that we are not good enough, when the truth is that we didn’t do the work. If you get up and do the work then you can hold your head high in any situation with the understanding that it’s not about better/worse, it’s about doing the work.
This was longer than I normally try to share, but I love you and I want you to get it. Now throw those shoulders back, hold your head high, smile and walk with purpose. Your Number One Fan is YOU!
