Although insecurity tends to confine us to a very lonely place, know that there are people around you who are desperate to show you, how amazing you are and how much you matter. Even if you can’t see your own worth right now, they most certainly can; and while you may feel like you are burdening them by expressing your feelings, I can assure you they don’t see it that way. Don’t be afraid to reach out. You are not ALONE.
Sometimes, life gets to be a little bit too much and it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Whether it is expectations from your family, friends, your significant other, your boss, colleagues, or expectations you have of yourself, occasionally it all creeps to the surface and you are left feeling like you are not good enough. In times like these, it can be difficult to gain the perspective you so sorely need to pull yourself out of that terrible low spirit.

Even though you may feel broken and bruised now, you will recover from this ordeal a more resilient person. When we get injured, the scar tissue that develops to mend our damaged skin is stronger than you could ever imagine. It is the same for your heart and soul and you need to trust in their ability to heal, too.
Whenever you are convince that you are not as worthy as someone else, you are betraying yourself. You may feel terrible about yourself now, but I can guarantee that there is so much beauty in you. Remember, no one has lived the life you have lived, so no one is better equipped to tackle your challenges than you. As cliché as it sounds, no matter how terrible you feel right now and how desperate your situation may currently seem, it is just a fleeting moment in your life. While it may seem as though your world is upside down, you need to trust and be hopeful that tomorrow will shine a better day on you and your predicament. Bear in mind, there is not a single person out there who is like you! You are blessed with unique attributes to be a survivor and be a whole new person again. You are deserving of LOVE. When terrible things happen either of our own doing or otherwise, it can be difficult to accept failure as a lesson.
You may feel terrible now, but remember how much you have already achieved. The fact that you feel the way you do right now is an indication that you still care and you still want to succeed. You haven’t given up and that means so much more than you realize. Think about the path that has led you to where you are now. Reminisce about your life from an objective perspective and see how much you have accomplished and overcome. Even though it may not seem like it now, you are a warrior and you are capable of so much. No matter how desperate the situation, there is always something you can do to move forward. You may not see it right in the moment, but you will uncover it eventually, either on your own or with the help of your friends. However, in every failure or negative moment, there is a lesson to be learned. Have faith in the fact and take heart to the experiences you have encountered and learn from them. You will be better equipped to deal with whatever life throws at you next. Everything you have accomplished up until now and everything you will achieve henceforth comes from you taking a leap of faith and trying. Give it your all. It is all that you need to do. Don’t lose hope; the answer you are seeking is out there. We spend our lives bending over backwards trying to please others and trying to conform to others’ ideals, but we tend to lose sight of what really matters; our happiness and our fulfillment. Just because everybody else is running ragged doesn’t mean that you need to hold yourself to the same, crazy standards. At the end of the day, people come and go but you are stuck with yourself for the rest of your life.
Sometimes, you need to surrender to your feelings and allow yourself to not always be a people pleaser. The world will carry on turning without you holding it together. Give yourself permission to give in to your emotions and know that it’s okay to give yourself a break. You have worked so hard and you deserve it. Reflecting on how far you have come, what you have already accomplished, and what you have learned can be very encouraging. Appreciate and reflect on the good things such as your closest family members, your dearest friends and your good health. Remind yourself of all the good things in your life. Count your blessings
If your heart isn't in it, then you should get off the emotional roller coaster. If your heart is in it, pour out your feelings to the one you love before it's too late. Crying over spilt milk, taking things too personally, turning your back on potential romance or commitment or drowning sorrows may be excuses for avoiding a confrontation with the stranger in the mirror.
Loneliness born of fear or damaged self-esteem may lay hidden beneath a calm exterior. Learn to depend upon yourself for fulfillment, attention, interest and consideration. The satisfaction gleaned from others' approval is temporary and superficial. Work toward wholeness and happiness by being willing to expand your own expectations. Embrace the commitment and sacrifice necessary to cross your own emotional boundaries. |
