Self

The first step is to become self-aware

The second step is to become love aware

(Not the receiving but the giving type)

What are your 50 favorite words?

...replace them with their synonyms

If you can't stand up for something

You'll fall for anything

If they can't respect you within proximity

They can miss you when you're gone

The moment I started crying, I became strong

There is strength in every weakness

You teach people how to treat you

Never forget

Anxiety and worries go, the moment you accept the fact that you'd die one day.

Every minute counts, live fully.

Question: what do you want to do?

Question: who do you want to be?


Mental Abstraction:

What happens when you discover that you are ugly? Not physically but internally.

Becoming aware of who we truly are can be very destabilizing. Very rude shockers and sometimes, have you questioning your sanity.

Self-development is simply being aware of parts of us that need improvement and those that need to be eradicated.

Self-awareness is spending more time - quiet time with us, self-evaluating, catching every thought and being present in all situations and emotions.

The whole package in itself is acceptance not positivity as a lot of people would think. The journey of acceptance still leads to positivity and good feelings but still, not discrediting the existence of the tough times and negativity that may find us.

It is in knowing that we can find freedom - in the dark times. In the hard times
