A Crazy Little Thing
Called……
By Drew Bankston
Love. It’s everywhere we look and every place we go. It
permeates our popular music. It’s in television commercials and is used to sell
a myriad of products. We have an entire day devoted to it. We try to promote it
between ourselves to make the world a better place. We share it with everyone
and find those special people to share it more deeply with. There is always one
person, however, that we tend to forget. One of the most important people in
our lives. The one and only person without whom we would never be able to
survive. We sometimes forget to love ourselves!
As individuals, we are the hardest person to forgive when it
comes to, well, just about anything. So many people look at who they are and
either want to change or wish that they had changed a long time ago. If we
attempt to change and are unsuccessful, we chastise ourselves and become, many
times, sullen and withdrawn. We are our own most powerful critics. Is this the
way we should be?
We tend to forgive others of their shortcomings, so why
would we not do the same for ourselves? It’s important for us to treat
ourselves as good or better than we treat others.
Raising our opinions of ourselves is one of the most
critical things that we can do. How can we treat others with respect, with love
or kindness if we can’t do the same with ourselves? Make it a goal today to
learn to make you the most important
person in your life so that you can more effectively treat others the best
possible and make the world the best place ever, to live.
