Here I am today, writing a blog. – something I never thought that I would be doing. I have never considered myself as a writer because I used to be a bad writer during my schooldays. I had friends who scored better than me in every English test we had. But what am I doing here then?
I simple wanna share my thoughts to the world regardless of how many actually read it. I no longer want to dwell into my thoughts. I wanna put it in a piece of work. I wanna be free.
Why limit yourself by something which happened to you in the past? We all should be more kind to ourselves by giving ourselves the chance to try the things which we tell ourselves that we cannot do better than the others. We do not have to be the next Shakespeare. We do not have to be impressing anybody but ourselves. The key to happiness is to make peace with oneself and be more kind.
We have heard about people saying we must be kind to others. I myself have preached this so many times to so many people in social media and in person. Kindness is what I believe in. I believe that I ma completely myself only when I am kind to another. But along the line, I realized that I had missed the most important point in being kind, that it all starts with YOU. Yes . I had forgotten to be kind to myself.
That was one of the saddest thing in my life, the moment when I stood in front of the mirror and questioned myself. How kind had I ever been to myself?
That day was the beginning of my journey to self love and self awareness.
I decided on that day that I am going to treat myself right. I am going to be kind to myself first.
And it brought me here. Me writing a blog to share my experiences and knowledge to the world is one step closer to being true to myself. I have finally allowed myself to anything that I can be. I AM NO LONGER GONNA LIMIT MYSELF. I am no longer gonna say to myself that I am not capable of doing something just because I saw someone else doing better at it.
This life is not a race. We are not here to compete with anybody. I believe that we are here to be the best version of ourselves and that will definitely not happen if we constantly get demotivated by merely comparing ourselves with those who are already great to the eye of society.
Always, always be kind to yourself. Watch how you speak to yourself. Give permission to yourself to do what you always wanted to do. Nothing could get on the way of your greatness except you yourself.
Anyone who is reading this today, remember that you are not alone. We as a community could work together on being better us. I am with you.
