Last night in the midst of a self-esteem drop, I came across a Facebook page called the Be Positive Campaign. I was reminded of the power of the mind over circumstance and was reminded essentially to "Love yourself, accept the flaws, be yourself, and nothing more".
Wow, easier said than done right? Don't worry, it is reachable. The thoughts we have today determine our actions for tomorrow. Promote positive thinking today and reap the rewards tomorrow.
We all come into this world unsure, naked, and naive. We don't know what it means to be liked or loved or to give love until that love has been shown to us. Even in our infancy we mess up--we fall, we cry, we stumble. We crawl until we learn to walk. We walk until we build the strength to run. But in each process we stumble.
Have you ever watched a baby crawl as they learn to walk? They wobble and wobble and fall but each time with drive in their eyes, they get back up. No wonder Jesus calls us to become like children. In order to walk, we have to persist. We have to hunger for success, possess drive, and desire to progress.
So, when negativity rings in your ear like that annoying buzzing fly, swat it, move away, get it out of your ear!
No matter the circumstance, Be Positive! And along the journey, love yourself so that you can in return love God and others :)
