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!
wow nice insipired!
