Learn To Love Yourself First

                                                          In order to find love, you need to love yourself first. For some this may be a tall order. Especially if you have been in relationships where you have been emotionally or physically abused. There needs to be a starting point. For starters look at yourself in the mirror. Really look at yourself. You are unique. There is no one in the world like you…..Unless you are a twin. You were made for a reason and a purpose. This is your time to discover yourself. Talk to yourself privately. Tell yourself the words that you have been wanting to here…..

I am worthwhile

I am capable of finding love

There is someone out there for me

They will find me when the time is right

You get the idea. Be positive in what you say to yourself. You deserve it. You have self worth. Just believe in yourself.

Your Path Was Chosen

Your path was chosen for you the day you were born. The moment you took your first breath. The moment you opened your eyes. You were surrounded by destiny. You were born into your family for a reason. You came into this world with nothing. You will leave this world with nothing. Only the memories that you have accumulated over your journey on this planet.

Life’s Story

Every life story is a unique one. If you could write a story, what would make it unique? Did you feel that you were wanted? Were you abandoned as a child? Were you adopted? Were you a “test tube” baby? Who are you? You are a unique individual. A person with thoughts and feelings. You were meant to be. No matter what your circumstances are presently…. God has a divine plan for you and you alone. No one can accomplish this task but you alone. You are part of God’s great creation story. Believe it or not. I am ready to listen…….Tell me a little about your life’s story.

New Beginnings

Every day is a new beginning

Open your eyes to the possibilities

Just for this moment

Savor it

Cherish it

Learn from it

This is your new beginning

It was given to you for a purpose

It is yours to discover

Seize each moment

Never look back on past failures

You can only live for today
