it’s all about you

One thing I always tell people is that you are the only person with you 24/7. I think it is a really important thing to remember. People will come into your life and say they know you but that’s not truly the case. For me personally I’m constantly thinking new things which change my opinions or contradict what I have said in the past. I don’t always let someone know how I changed my mind either. I don’t even need too.

Your world revolves around you. It’s important to understand and know that. Not everyone else’s, but your day to day when it is you. You spend the most time with yourself.

I really think you should be in love with yourself as a person. You should like yourself as much as you like the people you surround yourself with. Life is so much harder when you don’t like yourself.

Ways that I started to fall in love with myself were to give into my passions. Those things people tell you won’t make you money. It makes me feel so much better to read and write. To just spend time doing those things uninterrupted. Those two things make me very happy. When I’m happy I enjoy myself and others more. Taking trips and finding new things makes me happy. Learning about new things and having conversations with people to hear what they think makes me happy. Doing things I enjoy makes life so much more bearable and fun.

I think a lot of the time we get away from the things we enjoy. We are so focused on what needs to be done and we don’t find time for things that make us happy. We don’t prioritize our happiness and overall well being.

I was at work this week and I was talking with a guest. He told me his grandma always told him “Life is no good if you aren’t having fun and taking time for yourself.” It’s true.

Take time in your life to think about you and what makes you happy. Do those things. We aren’t suppose to be miserable till we die. At least that’s what I believe. There is to much to see and do and be. Feed yourself the way you would feed others.

One of the things I work on is how I talk to myself. I am very critical of myself. I speak harshly and cruelly to myself. It makes all the difference when I speak kindly to myself. Talk to yourself how you would talk to others.

Spend time with yourself and get to know yourself. You spend 24/7 with you. It’s worth being a person you like.
