A simple philosophy

Often, if God has given someone something that we don't have, God has given us something that they don't have.
It may not be immediately obvious, but it is almost always true.

Be humble, be grateful, and most importantly, love yourself.

My Three Life Lessons & Daily Practices

1. FAITH

When we put God first, all other things fall into their proper place.

When God closes one door in our lives, He opens another.

Until God opens the next door, praise Him in the hallway.

God will have the last word, and it will be good.

2. BOUNDARIES

Healthy boundaries are like a fence around your house to keep you safe.

When you feel yourself becoming angry, resentful, or exhausted, pay attention to where you haven't set a healthy boundary.

Boundaries are not built in a vacuum; creating boundaries always involves a support network.

Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.

Consequences give some good barbs to fences. They let people know the seriousness of the trespass and the seriousness of our respect for ourselves.

If you want more time, freedom, and energy, start saying no.

Setting boundaries is an excellent act of self-care.

Boundaries are a function of self-respect and self-love.

3. SELF-COMPASSION

Self-Compassion has three elements: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness.

A moment of self-compassion can change your entire day. A string of such moments can change the course of your life.

Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.

Unlike self-criticism which asks if I'm good enough, self-compassion asks what's good for me?

Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.

Put your oxygen mask on first, before you attend to anyone else around you.

GROWTH MINDSET

Learning does not have any age.

A growth mindset is when people understand that their abilities can be developed.

GRATITUDE

A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.

PRESENCE

Be simple and come back.

Inhabit your body.

Focus on your breath.

Love yourself

Don't cry because others don't love you;
Smile because you love yourself :) 💝💝

Realization

I had this realization,

People don't understand you at your level, they understand you at their level.

And vice-versa.

And that makes understanding ourselves even more important, it is our responsibility.

Dilemmas / Difficult choices

1. Lay your choices in front of you, write them down, talk them out, whichever way suits you.
Pick the one that most resonates with you, goes with your values. Make the choice, even if it is difficult. You are worth it.

2. Even when we have no choice, we still have one choice, gratitude and prayer.

Love yourself. Take good care of yourself.

Loving yourself and taking good care of yourself is a pre-requisite to all amazing things.

Be like a sunflower

Be the leader of your life

You are the leader of your life.
And God is with you.

I am the leader of my life.
And God is with me.

Generally, If something is not working, either you are doing the wrong thing, or you are doing it wrong. Something needs to change.

Self Love and Compassion

When we really love ourselves, and commit to ourselves, the whole quality of life changes.
There is a shift. As if a light bulb has been switched on.

When we really love ourselves, we vibrate at a different frequency.

Spend some time with yourself, to know yourself and what you want, to get in touch with your needs and feelings, so you can meet them. You are worth it.

Love yourself

Include yourself in the list of your loved ones.

Quote:
Worthiness doesn't have prerequisites.

I am a part of the whole.

Its not so much about, what I have.
Its more about, how appreciative I am for what I have.

The most important person in our life is us

I am the most important person in my life.
Other people are the most important persons in their life.
Others are very important in our lives too, and we are very important in other peoples lives too, but we are the most important in our life.
Let's be as responsible as we can be.
God bless us.

Tune In

Its not what we do, its how we feel when we do it.
Its not who we are with, its how we feel when we are with them.
Our thoughts and feelings are a compass, that guide us in the right direction.
That's why it is so important to tune in, and connect with your feelings, regularly.
Its not a one time thing. Its not like we tune in once, and then forget about it for years.
We have to do it on a regular basis.
Tune in, and if need be, share it with someone we trust.
