Let Yourself Be Loved

The act of loving yourself is an ongoing process. Sometimes, the world portrays it as this easy thing, that one day we will wake up and appreciate every piece of who we are. Too bad it doesn't work like that. The process involves a lot of hard work, for there will be days when hating on yourself is the easiest thing to do.

It will always be a lot of work, but it will be a beautiful work.

Loving yourself is learning to love your “imperfections" while striving to become a better you. It is accepting that you may fall short sometimes, but not letting that become an excuse to not push yourself. It is challenging yourself, but also celebrating how far you've come. It is never settling, but also learning to have appreciation for who you are without always feeling as if you're not enough.

We are our biggest critics. There's a fine line between confident and cocky (I used to tell myself this growing up all the time), so we shy away from anything close. We convince ourselves that we aren't worthy of things regarding work, friendships, love, etc. We don't give ourselves the chance to pursue things. We tell ourselves lies. And the sad truth is, we are never going to measure up to the unrealistic ideal in our heads. If you go into something thinking you aren't going to do be able to do it, you're not going be able to do it.

It's that simple.

We have to start believing in ourselves.

There were days in my past where even the most beautiful of skies couldn't get me out of bed. There were so many days where I just wanted to give up, to make it all stop. But, that would have been the easy way out. I knew I was stronger than what I was feeling. I chose to be even stronger. I chose to grow flowers from my tears.

I chose to bloom.

I continued to receive these challenges from the Universe, but this time, I trusted them. I found myself more thankful for the hard days than the good ones because when your heart grows with wisdom, it feels like honey. And when your heart feels like honey, every day is a golden day.

There is a beautiful light hidden beneath our struggles.

You must choose to find it and own it, for you are here for divine reasons. Nothing in the universe would exist in the way it does without you and everything you do.

Keep trusting.

The path you're on is perfect, simply because it's yours.

We are continuously growing and that's what really matters. What matters is how we care for people, how we share, how we learn, how we grow and fall, yet always rise again. Of course, there are always things to improve on or work towards, but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't celebrate who or where you are right at this moment.

You won't be here forever, so embrace every moment.

Let yourself be loved.
