Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall, Where Does My Self-Love Fall

Self or Selfish

This world is made up of all sorts of people. Regardless of their character and opinion of themselves, they are who they choose to be and deserve to be accepted. Are you at your best? Do you feel comfortable in your own skin? The most valuable and greatest relationship we’ll have in life is with ourselves. It’s important to remain true to one’s self. We must be honest and forthright about who we are and how we perceive ourselves. Others, such as family, friends, and partners, may have their own perception of us and that’s okay.

It takes dedication to “self-concepts” (self-confidence, self-love, etc.) to reach optimum satisfaction in life. Maybe you don’t have the gall to stand up for what you know or like. You’re comfortable in your shyness. You may like being a dependent and know you are needy. You may like being someone’s punching bag. You may enjoy shedding tears. You may like hearing yourself speak and know you are a whiner. You may admire the way another person stands up for themselves. You may think having looks is more attractive than brains. You may think having pockets full of money will buy you a new image.

Sometimes, it’s the truth about self that seems overly harsh or even becomes a hard pill to dissolve. The beauty of this life is feeling comfortable inside one’s own skin.
