Navigating through self-lies

People lie.

To themselves, to others. Sometimes the reasons matter, other times it doesn’t.

In both cases, it hurts. So how is it that when we inflict the pain of a lie onto someone else, it hardly hurts but to ourselves it hurts like hell?

Could it be that we love others more than the love that we have for ourselves?

Let’s look in the mirror..just for 60 seconds. It could be tiresome. Now think back to when you’ve starred for ages at someone you love. What’s the difference?

Self-belief, positive self-talk, self-appreciation, self-care, self-motivation. Such bland words in today’s world. Quick question: Do I like myself? Next question: Do I love myself?

To answer such questions, look at yourself as someone else looking at you. And everytime, choose yourself. The answer has to be 'YES’. And if today, it’s not a yes, why isn’t it? What is it that you don’t like or love about yourself? 'cause the truth is, if you don’t like or love yourself, at some point nobody else will.

I am my favourite. I like spending time with myself. I find myself to be quite interesting. I know that if I focus really hard, I can accomplish anything. I have achieved my highest pinnacle today. My confidence comes from me, not from what I have done but who I belong to; how I have been created. What seems like my weakness is actually my strength in disguise. When I look into the mirror, I see an achiever, a dreamer who dares, someone who cares about me, someone who has known me for the longest time. I trust this person. I discpline this person. This person is me and I will not fall.
