EVER FEELING LIKE YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH??

Growing up as a child, I was chubby, dark and to be honest I cared less. It’s only afterwards when people started making comments about my physical appearance that I felt like I was not good enough. I struggled massively with my self-esteem over the years. I am so embarrassed to mention that even when I was in varsity I struggled so much.

I knew then that I had a problem and had to do something really fast before I break down.

There is a lot of pressure from the culture we live in now. At times we feel like we are not god enough because we are so busy looking at other people’s lives. It is so pathetic and embarrassing that I sometimes allow myself to wander by allowing myself and Satan to torment me and lie to me….maybe I’m giving Satan way too much credit. At times it’s really my mind….. Some of the lies I feed me.
1.       Telling me that I am not beautiful

2.     That I would never amount to anything
3.       That I am the worst when it comes to relationships

These days I applaud myself. I have made so much improvement. I constantly motivate myself and tell myself the below:

CONTENTMENT WITH LIFE IS NOT A FEELING, IT IS A DECISION I MUST MAKE
Yes, I am happy. It doesn't mean that I don’t desire to see change or to improvement certain aspect of my life. I am with the way I look..after all it is what it is. I always tell myself the below:

IF YOU DON’T LIKE SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN CHANGE THEN COME ON..BUILD UP THE COURAGE TO DO IT AND DO IT E.g If you are overweight… you can do it..change your eating habits!

BELOW IS A LIST OF THINGS I TOLD MYSELF……HELLO TO BEEN GOOD ENOUGH
1.       Don’t compare yourself with anyone. Comparison is a thief of joy
2.       Maintain an attitude that would allow you to enjoy the gift of life….BE HAPPY
3.       Always take some time to talk to God about anything…how you feel, your desires, your fears etc.
4.       Make effort to choose your thoughts
5.       Lastly…life is all about choices…choose your friends wisely. Talking about friends guys…really its important. I don’t want to surround myself with people who are always negative, negative and negative. It will affect your subconscious mind guys. U don’t need that!

THE SORBET FACE ELECTRIC BRUSH

The  sorbet rechargeable cleanser  removes dirt from pores much more effectively and gently than that of normal cleansing. The fine exfoliating bristles ensure deeper cleansing and gently remove dead skin cells, revealing brighter, more youthful looking skin. This ensures that subsequent face creams or serums are also absorbed better into the skin. The cleanser is fully water-resistant which makes it safe to use and store in the bathroom.  It comes with 3 different heads (a daily cleansing brush, the exfoliating brush (with fine tapered bristles) and a silicone brush head for extra delicate skin).  I have found that I tend to use the daily cleansing brush every evening after doing a pre-cleanse to remove the bulk of my makeup and then I use the silicone brush head in the morning.  I use the exfoliating once a week. I love that the cleanser comes with a USB charger which makes it easy enough to charge – no need to worry about batteries.  A single charge will also last y

YOU GIVE ME JOY

Lately, God has been teaching me to humble myself under his almighty wings. He is God, he is my creator, and he knows me inside out. He knows my thoughts, my needs and my heart desires. What an amazing God I serve, no body like him.  BAD HAIR DAY...STILL SAVED BY GRACE When I consider his love for me, it leads me to desire to walk in his ways, to live by faith and not by sight. In God I found my being. Ladies, know your worth. Discover who you are, your identity. When we lack identity, we seek opportunity to show others who we are. This leads us to become narcissistic and wish for people to approve us. That’s why at the end of the day, we exalt our self, and we promote ourselves and live to please other people. We become so obsessed with filtering our pictures, posting every move we make, designer bags, expensive dresses whist on the inside we are empty. Get me right, there is nothing wrong with buying expensive items and all of that. Do it for you and not for the next

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

Problems sharpens us. Problems brings us closer to God. The more a pencil is sharpened, the more it works wonders. Don’t worry when life turns differently, stand more, fast more, pray more, read the bible more and love others more. Though pain may come in the evening, joy comes in the morning. Remain positioned in the Lord, even if seems like he failed to save you. Let him be his your Lord and personal savior. Don’t compare yourself with your neighbor. Let your care be your care and theirs be. No matter what you are going through just know that God will never leave you nor forsake you. Your life is in the hands of the potter. His thoughts, plans and ideas are not like ours. U can’t be better than God. Know your fate. Don’t live your life empty spirited. Open your heart and let Jesus come into your life. I encourage you to turn to God. May your worship not be dictated by your situation.  He is God in and out of every situation.You are not alone. You can overcome that depression, t
