Ajaw pagpahilabi panhatag,
kahutdan kaw. Generosity is a good value. But to be
generous to others, you need to be generous to yourself first. Like love, you
cannot displace it once you do not know self-love.
Self-love
is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our
physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high
regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of
your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self-love
means not settling for less than you deserve.
But
then why is it that some of us work to please someone else even if we are
already dying inside? Is there a dearth of freedom due to the self-restrictions
and the fear of being unwanted? That is why there is a need to open our eyes
that we need NOT depend our happiness to others?
Why
are you begging for someone else’s affection? Cohen (2017) said: You should
never have to beg to get someone’s love, attention, or affection even, and for
them to make you a priority. And you should never have to beg to get someone to
love you, because someone that truly and utterly cares about you will treat you
as a priority, and will make time for you, despite their busy schedules and
whatnot.
It’s
high time to respect yourself. Do not place yourself as a second priority.
There is a need to control your emotions than allow them to let you be
humiliated by allowing someone to control over you. Regain CONTROL over your
happiness.
Enjoy
your life. No matter how difficult the situation can be, breathe in happiness
and peace. Extract yourself from unhappy relationships and worse, possessive ones.
Be free and savor the short moments and make them well-spent.
Give
yourself a break. Give yourself a gift. Love.
