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
