GET INSPIRED: Love yourself.

"You are amazing,

just the way you are."

  ***

  Ever heard of Bruno Mars' song, "Just the way you are"? Feels better to hear it from someone you love right? But I think, it would be way better if you would hear it from your own.

  Yes. John Donne was right. No man really is an island. We need our friends, our family and our significant other. However, that doesn't mean that we really need them to find our happiness. I'm not saying that you should go away, isolate yourself and live your life alone miserably forever. What I'm saying is that sometimes, all it takes to be happy and contented is yourself.

  Not at all times, we are in good terms with our friends, our significant other and even our family. Sometimes, we got frustrated, irritated or angry. Sometimes, there's misunderstanding. Sometimes, there's expectations and mostly, there's failure to meet your expectations. 

  When we love, most of the time, we give out our best, give out our efforts and give out even our own precious time. And mostly, we don't need anything in return but a sight of appreciation. And by doing so, we almost forgot our own self. 

  What's worse is when you don't get any in return, not even a smell of gratification.

  Fella, if you're feeling any of those, why not take a break? Relax and review every good deed you've done to others. You don't need to get angry nor feel bad to that person. What you need to do is pamper yourself and that don't need to cost anything but a time on your own.

  Take a look at the mirror and you'll see someone who could love you more than anyone else. YES, IT IS YOU! Look at how amazing you are. Look at how good you are. Look at how God created you so great, you might even feel that there's no need for pain nor regret. 

  You are unique and productive. Live out as if you're not dependent on anyone to be happy. Life's too short to get caught up in a bad situation. Enjoy life! Enjoy your own self. Remember that there is always MORE to life. 

 Be your own inspiration. Be your own motivator. Be your own happiness. Love yourself! :)
