It all starts with you

I am me and the me is the I and I need to acknowledge my existence every day as I only have one life and once gone from this world there is no coming back!

The reality that I have in the past struggled with for years was to accept that everything starts with me; it’s about me and my perception of myself. I was never a bright, clever ?child growing up, not realising and not even knowing that I had the ability to change this concept of acceptance from others, feeling shamed of who I was what I looked like or had I achieved anything or not so that I could be acknowledged.?Why I ask do we in society create these perimeters of who and what we should be when it’s all about me. ????????

Everyone has as story to tell, each and every one of us have challenges that we have to overcome so let’s learn to love the self lets press the restart and make it re-start with you.

I know it’s not always easy to lift the self up but life has taught me and my lived experiences have also opened up my mind that if I don’t lift myself trust me no one else will do it for me and they want be able to help me unless I help myself. Hence this is why I say that it all starts with I and anyone else who needs to start acknowledging them self just remember that it all starts with you! ?There will always be days when one becomes over whelmed and everything feels too much, this is normal, I have those days when I feel low and everything feels that it is too much, my head is not in a good place and it feels like the whole world will come down crumbling over me! But I know now and understand that this is a part of my makeup, this is me its normal behaviour we are humans and its best to acknowledge and connect with how I feel rather than suppress the emotions as if they don’t exist.

For this reason I am no longer ashamed to speak openly about these feelings, many times I have been burnt, bruised, broken and let down by people who I trusted and that is OK for as long as I learnt lessons from that and I would respond next time it happened to me because it all start with me unless I let someone break me, put me down or allow them in my space more than they need to be there will always be that risk of having to face how I deal with it.

I am stronger than what I was years ago I am emotional more stable and able to connect to my inner and outer feelings, I know when I hurt, I know when I feel happy as I have grown in my journey through all the highs and lows in my life that have always bought everything back to me and how I deal with things.

It all starts with me, my life my existence as well as anyone else out there who may be reading this! ?Life is precious no matter how tough it gets don’t ever feel that you have to give up because there will always be a new dawn, another day a new moment and things can change very quickly. For this reason appreciate every breath you take on this world, your existence, you just remember there is only one of you! ?For as long as I exist no matter how many battles I have faced or have to face I am grateful for been alive.

Remember life is not a straight path, many of us have not had things handed to us or have been given privileges that others may have and we look upon them and think if I only had what they have.?We also know that there are many stories of those who have had everything that life can offer them but the question to explore is have they ever really been able to live their life as they wanted too is the question. ?I have fallen several times and gotten back up, ?however when I fallen know what has changed is how I manage that fall, I continue to test myself by taking risks and by doing that I have grown in confidence. I know who I am and I trust myself that in the end it will all work out.?The biggest lesson I learnt about myself that it all start with me for that I need to take responsibility for my action, fro how I view myself and most of learn to love the self and my existence for there is a purpose for us all. ??
