The uncomfortable truth about self love

 Self love isn't just  bubble  baths and affirmations.Its staring in the mirror of your soul and saying,I see you the envy,the pettiness,the insecurities but am choosing to grow anyway.

You want that promotion.But instead of sharpening your skills,you fixate on your colleagues designer wardrobe or whisper how she uses her looks to get ahead:Here's the hard truth,your obsession with her journey is a detour on yours.

That voice whispering ,she doesn't deserve it !!It's not about her but your fear screaming,What if am not enough?

Even satan fell through comparison.the Bible recounts (if you've read the bible that is) how h craved Jesus divine status ,orchestrating temptations to the exploit perceived weakness.But Jesus stood firm not through denial but by anchoring himself in his inherent worth.

Wishing others had less won't make you more,true power comes from asking yourself 

What strengths am I neglecting?

How can my good smile,my unique gits  open doors?because we are  all unique in our own way.

True self love formula is,

1:Admit :am envious,I gossip,I deflect,No judgement just clarity

2:Refrain your focus:swap why her to what's my next move, and channel that energy into your goals.

3:Own your narrative: your colleagues success isn't your failure

Your journey isn't theirs 

And the reward will be unshakable freedom

When you stop competing with others ,you start competing with your former self.Thats where growth lives.Thats where promotion and peace are won.

Self love isn't soft,it's the steel spine that lets you say , I'll build what I deserve.

You are your own master ,create your masterpiece in your own way.

Yours truly 

Kajad
