Love Yourself
So many people want to look good in the eyes of their friends,companion and colleagues without realizing they are slowly dying inside. They want to create a perfect portrait for others despite creating a blank heart for themselves.
As I walk along the road
A thought flashes in my mind
It says
Love yourself
Before
Others can love you.
Be yourself.
Grow yourself.
Stop living your life after the dictates of others
Start being the real you.

Let others see you for who you are.

Be an eagle.

Be courageous

Be wise.


Don’t be afraid to face your fears.
Don’t be scared to confront your past.
At the end of life’s journey
You will discover it pays to love yourself
