Why Wait???

Self respect, self worth, and self love is an INSIDE job. Stop looking outside of yourself for your value.

A question that I have been asking lately is why wait? Why wait for what you might ask? Why wait for others to give you the love, respect, acknowledgement, and admiration that you so rightfully deserve? Getting into the habit of giving yourself ALL that you so freely give to others is the key to successful manifestation and attraction. There has been much talk surrounding manifesting and The Law of Attraction, but what is not being mentioned is how you have to BECOME the THINGS, QUALITIES, and PERSON that you are desiring to ATTRACT first. Getting clear about what taking care of your MENTAL, PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, and SPIRITUAL well-being looks like is key. There has also been much talk surrounding Self Love and Self care, however Self care goes beyond spa visits, hair appointments, mani and pedi’s. Self love is much more than your outside appearance.

You have to stop waiting for OUTSIDE validation, that is for parking, Not people! However, if you still believe in the concept of validation, get in the habit of VALIDATING YOURSELF instead of waiting for others around you to do it. Quick question, if you decide to wait for others to validate, acknowledge, show love, and respect you, do you know how long you will be waiting? If you decide to wait, you will waiting a lifetime honey. You will be stuck waiting until eternity because they just won’t do it and if they do, it will more than likely be too late.

It is human to long for love, attention, affection, words of affirmations and so forth. There is a healthy existence of receiving all that you desire, but you have to first MASTER providing all of these things for yourself.

A moment of transparency, when I was going through deep healing and transformation and was ready to step outside of my shell and comfort zone, I cared way too much what people would think about me and say about me. I reached out to my mentor at the time for advice and she denied ever experiencing these very real, valid feelings and emotions. She assured me that I was in the process of figuring things out, she was right. However this is a common thing with people denying that they have never cared about what others thought about them or said about them. It is nothing to be ashamed about or hidden. It is a very common occurrence amongst individuals.

I said all that to say that it is time to love yourself enough to make the difficult decisions, set the uncomfortable boundaries, and stand up for yourself when necessary, all in the name of SELF LOVE, SELF CARE, and SELF RESPECT!
