I'd like to take this time to remind you to love the most important person in your world; YOU!
YES YOU are the most important person you can love, because if you don't love who you are, how can you expect anyone else to love you, or to feel the love that's in your heart? Empty vessels can't fill others' pitchers, so take some time right now to remind yourself how great you are!
What? You're not feeling the love? You're thinking about all the things you CAN'T do? Forget about 'em!
Love you for who you are, not who you're not.
Let's think about this a little more, in terms of dollars and cents, instead of just emotions. I know you have something you are good at. If I had to guess, you probably have quite a few things you are really good, no that you're GREAT, at. And people count on you to do those things you're great at. The more often you can do those things you're great at, the more money you can make. Nobody is going to pay you to be mediocre at something, they're going to pay you for making it great!
Following me so far?
So you've got those things you're good at, and you get paid to do them, and you don't get paid to do the things you're not so good at. If money is one measure of the value of your work, then what you're getting paid to do is valuable, and important, and worthwhile. And what you're not getting paid to do is unimportant, because it's not valuable, and obviously not important for YOU to do.
Now think about how you feel about yourself. Are you valuing those things you're great at? Do you love yourself enough to let those things you stink at pass you by, or to find someone who can help you complete your world? After all, nobody is great at everything!
Focus on the things you ARE great at! Love yourself for who you ARE, for what you HAVE, and stop worrying so much about who you are not. Whatever is getting your focus is what is driving your thoughts, feelings and emotions. Why not focus on something that you do GREAT and stop focusing on that which drains you.
ACTION STEP: Take 5 minutes right now and right down all the things you're great at. Tuck it away in your wallet or purse. Next time you are feeling drained, pull it out and remind yourself that you are great because of these things.
Love yourself for who you are, because you are GREAT!
