It's my pleasure joining the prompt on #thoughtfuldailypost,i may like to share my view on this community..
People intend to start feeling less of themselves,but when you start to feel less of yourself,I hope you do remember that there are people who admire you,who love and cherish not just fragments of you but the whole of you. People who look at you and draw strength, people who are routing for you and people whose story will be shaped for your experience. I hope you find timely acts of love to show that you have silent lovers, admirers,and people who see themselves becoming great just because of you....

Another thing we battle with in the society is lack of appreciation to oneself, people out there decide to keep themselves low and this tends to cause self diminishing. We actually don't know who has been looking at us and taking us as a role model,just recently I got a message from someone close and was like, " Thanks for all you've done,I'm really grateful for meeting you, because you've done a lot for me".
Just imagine that, within yourself,you would be like "Ughn have I actually done something to this person that makes him\her appreciate me?"... Most times our words,actions, lifestyle, respect, attributes can change your neighbors life.. No wonder there is a saying this days that people tend to look at our lifestyle as Christian and then with the help of that they become born again,or better still live a life well pleasing....
Don't you see that sounds great,let alone someone complimenting all your good deed, won't you be happy and feel joyous.. Let us all cultivate the habit of appreciating ourselves, despite our upbringing and challenges we face when growing up.. If your compassion does not include yourself,it is incomplete,it is not selfish to love yourself,take care of yourself and make yourself a priority before others or anything,for it is necessary. If you have no confidence in yourself, my brothers and sisters you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started.
"The only person's who can pull me down presently is myself and I'm not going to let myself pull down". Let's have that intention and set our mind on that... The most important relationship is the one you have with yourself, as you grow older you would discover that you have two hands,one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.
Finally,if you have no confidence in yourself, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started. Thank yourself for being strong and courageous and also for being kind and gentle and for taking good care of yourself despite all the challenges, that as come your way physical, mentally, and health wise... Be the best version of yourself, never underestimate your life👌
