How many times has the thought of you feeling worthless popped up in your minds? Do you remember how many times you have dozed off feeling like a failure, a sense of burden and being unproductive engulfing you? Have you gone through the feeling of rejection by the person you love the most? Getting up from your beds seems a task uphill , impossible to be tackled off for a moment, ever happened?

You are depressed but not actually depressed. You smile, but not from your heart, you are alive but not living, you are acting to be ecstatic but honestly, your soul is shackled in invisible barriers. You pass your days as if it’s a duty, and you have been so used to your sufferings that it doesn’t bother you anymore, you are tuned to live with all that pressure in your head.
Stop for a moment, pause, take a look, inhale, is that what you were born for? No darling, you were born for some great missions. You were born to be happy , not to master sufferings. And happiness is not an external thing that will be bestowed upon you by somebody else. You have to create that happiness. Joy starts within you. Its got nothing to do with outside, the materialistic world. It starts from you. Pain is inevitable, that’s a part and parcel of life but suffering, its optional. You can have pain, but you don’t have to suffer necessarily.
So often, you align your happiness with other persons that you lose yourself in the process of making them happy in order to be happy yourself. Honestly, it’s a hard pill to swallow but everybody doesn’t have the same heart as you. No matter what you do, something will not be upto the mark, so STOP looking for happiness outside of you, stop seeking love, validation and happiness from others. First love yourself, love yourself to an extent that giving love to others wouldn’t empty your box of self love, it isn’t vanity, it’s pure sanity. Be grateful for your existence because you, you have a mission, which is yours and yours alone and you may not know it at this present moment, but it will eventually unfold to you in the best ways.
Loving your own self, accepting even the darkest secrets and crevices about you which no one else has the right to know and embracing that with all your heart, that’s the first step towards a happy life.
The more love you give to yourself, the better you will attract in return. Try validating yourself without any opinion clouding you, try not to seek love outside and see, how empowering that is. Believe in yourself, work on yourself, work for yourself, believe in magic and miracles and see how magic blooms in your lives.
Wake up every day, feeling grateful that you have been bestowed with an opportunity to live this day. Try your utmost and give your 200 percent wholeheartedly in everything you do, even the smallest act you take up. Its okay to not succeed, every winner starts out as a learner, be proud of yourself for trying, pat your shoulders and say well done, and work hard the next day and repeat this till you climb that ladder of success. Believe that you deserve all that you wish and give so unselfishly to others. Have faith that you matter and affirmatively tell yourself, today is my day every morning. But most importantly, love yourself everyday. Only you know your battle and how hard you are fighting it, so embrace yourself and you will achieve the milestones bit by bit. Cultivate the art of self-love and see, how mystically happiness will be nurtured and developed in your life’s garden.
So are we all ready to love ourselves in the most amazing ways and take a step towards a happy, positive and a blissful and beautiful life?
