Let’s love ourselves

Here is what I plan to do this Valentine….

Imagine piling up every single notebook you have used since childhood or collecting butts of all the pencils you bought since you were 5 years old. They don’t add value to our life, they add clutter.

Then why should we collect memories of everything that went wrong? Why should we recall every single shortcoming, every single failure and every single disappointment when something untoward happens?

Why do we clutter our mind with negative thoughts? It has been rightly said in ‘The monk who sold his Ferrari ‘The mind is a garden and negative thoughts are like weeds. We have to remove all the weeds so that our beautiful thoughts can survive.’

Let us start loving ourselves. Let us for once accept ourselves totally and unconditionally. Let us trust our decisions, let us respect our choices.

We talk so much about how to behave with other people, how to be supportive, thoughtful and considerate. Now it is high time we do it for ourselves.

Come on! Let us face the world head on. Look into its eyes and dare it to prove us wrong. Let us dare the world to ridicule us, look down upon us, mock us and do whatever possible to discourage us.

Let us laugh at the face of all adversities, failures and shortcomings.

Let us show them what we are made of.

Come on everyone….Let us start loving ourselves before we love someone else.
