THE 'BACKWARDS' LAW

 Okay, so earlier this day, i came across a video. In the video, that fellow gentleman asked to close eyes and name three people you love in your life the most. So as to prove his and eventually my whole point, let's close eyes for a minute and name any three people we love, like truly love. Take a minute and go on. Done. Okay, so let's say you named three people- the question here is not who you named or how difficult it was to name only three people but the question here is,did you bother to name yourself ?

Because i didn't. The idea of naming myself didn't even crossed my mind until that man asked so in the latter part of the video. And it was then that i realized, that maybe for a teeny tiny bit- i don't prioritize myself that much. Maybe I don't love myself enough and seeking the "love" in others is what generally disappoints me. Not that loving someone is wrong or the three names you took would disappoint you always, but the thing is, we normally tend to demand things from others which we're either not giving ourselves or we're just not being enough for ourselves. Which I and most of us would believe is not right. Loving yourself first is important. Putting yourself first is important. Prioritizing yourself is important. 

Remember, you're in control of how you show in the world. Give yourself the permission to take up space, and bloom wildly without a single regret. 

Also, you're the energy you attract and what you expect....so you need to become someone who you yourself respect, first. You are the mirror of what you admire. 

Brianna Wiest once said, "Let go of the expectation that if you work on yourself enough, you won't struggle anymore. If you work on yourself enough, you'll understand what the struggle is for."

Be someone who is so committed to your growth that it encourages the people around to grow themselves. And that's how you'll be receiving the love you have always desired for. You have to choose yourself, even when others refuse to. Self love is choosing yourself, which is ultimately self care. Evidently, You're entertaining the wrong things with the wrong people because you're struggling with loving yourself. It's okay to take a break, a moment for yourself. It's okay to be selfish, if it means rediscovering your own power and happiness. Because sometimes, choosing yourself is important. Sometimes, you ought to do things that might disappoint others, or in worst case scenario you're going to lose that person, but if it's for your growth and you yourself, it would be worth so just do it. 

Do it for yourself. Love yourself. 

Until then, Happy Today-ing. 😃❤️
