I am in Love with ME
Loving yourself is not a luxury, its a necessity!
Why? We consider this to be mean to love ourselves?
If I cannot embrace myself then who will?
If I cannot accept myself of whatever I am? Irrespective of how I am looking?
When I lost my hair, I used to shy away from people, I knew they would call me by names. I wish I could get full hair and then I will feel great again. And when I used to have hair, I knew I had other excuses not to be happy with myself, not to love myself.
I was an average student throughout my educational career a big heavy stone, I studied at normal government schools a big heavy stone, I am from a middle-class family back-ground a big heavy stone. I didn’t have the branded clothes and stuff another big heavy stone and believe me all these heavy stones I used to carry on my shoulders. I never looked in the mirror with pride, I wish I could have said, Adnan I love You, that sense of dark inferiority complex surrounded me throughout my child-hood.
What I have recently realized that I have wasted all my life, finding faults in me and it didn’t help me all I was doing burring myself under heavy stones, I needed to stop torturing my soul and start living my life.
It is when we accept our-selves with all our strengths, weakness, short-comings, we see the trueness.
The best hug you can give to someone is to yourself.
The sweetest kiss is on your own cheeks.
The best smile is, when you look yourself in the mirror with all the scars and say to yourself, you are beautiful and I love you.
If am bald, , I am too thin, I am fat, my skin is dark, my height is short, I have a lower IQ as compared to others, I am from a middle-class family, I am not earning enough as my relatives or neighbors are earning, I do not have the latest mobile or car, I am living in a rented house, I don’t have likes or followers on my social media pages, I am Asian, I am a female, my husband didn’t love me, my kids didn’t listen to me. It’s a never-ending list. What’s your excuse of not loving yourself, not accepting your own identity, your own body?
Under the skin there is soul, a loving soul, embrace yourself, love yourself.
My friends, nothing is perfect, nothing is complete, we may win somethings but certainly we are losing so much in our lives, but there is only one thing that in-spite of having it we are not taking care of it. We will say, oh if I lose another 10 pounds then I will feel great about myself, if I get the next client, I will feel great about myself, our extra fat on our body determines how we need to feel about ourselves, that next client will determine our happiness, isn’t that shallow?
Look yourself in the mirror and say I love you!
Stones are not supposed to be carry along on this beautiful journey of life.
because its only you who can give a truly unconditional love to yourself.
With LOVE- ADNAN ALI
