Dear Self
Dear Self,
Promise to treasure your time. Today is the present, for yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come. Promise today, you will shine!
Be patient but don’t procrastinate. Be hopeful but not naive.
Choose your words carefully. Because the things you tell yourself can actually have a physical effect on your body.
Be gentle with yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself. You are doing the best you can.
You are allowed to be happy, to be sad, to be mad, to feel bad, to know and love yourself, to realise your worth, to believe in great things, and to be treated with love and respect. I want you to know that I am here for you, even when no one else is. I got you.
Believe in yourself. Coz I believe in you. Trust in yourself . Coz I trust you. Love yourself. Coz I love you.
Trust yourself. Express yourself. Empower yourself.
Every day you are becoming. Be yourself. Be your best self. Be awesome.
Stop hating yourself for everything you aren't. Start loving yourself for everything you are.
There is no need to fix yourself. Your imperfections don’t mean you are broken. You are perfectly imperfect and powerful beyond measure. There is no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people be inspired by how you deal with your imperfections and make it beautiful. Turn your flaws into your assets.
If you wanna fly, you gotta give up the stuff that weighs you down.
When things get uncertain, live out the confusions until they become clear. Don’t fight the process. Everything is going to be okay.
When you are true to you, you can make it work for you. When it’s right, you’ll know. You don’t have to force it.
You are worth it. Wonderful. Valuable. Lovable. Not because other people think so. But because you know so. That is enough.
What people think of you isn’t important. What you think about yourself means everything.
Everyone is at a different place in their journey. So their words and actions will reflect that. Let your words and actions reflect your own path.
People can only meet you at the level they are at. So stop expecting things from others. Focus on what you can do instead.
Respect yourself enough to walk away from what no longer serves you or allows you to grow.
Learn to understand yourself so that you can understand the world. Learn to be self aware and clear within yourself first so you can also be aware of others and not be so confused in the world. Know that you cannot impose change on others by trying to control them, but you can have self control and change yourself. One small thought and one small act could change your world. As a result of your ripple effect, you bring about change in the world.
When you listen to who you are, you can be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.
You gotta do this for you.
Live for you.
Honor you.
This isn’t about anyone else but you.
Never forget that.
Love,
Me
