Express IT: Honor Yourself

Beyond all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it.

  

A man once said; i have not even gone the extra mile for myself, talk less of taking risks for anyone" People around called him heartless, some called him useless and i said to myself, don't blame him, ''you cant give what you don't have'' he is just being true to himself. So he is right, like he already knows his capability. He does not value himself enough to go the extra mile to get anything,he can easily settle for less. So going the extra mile to satisfy anyone is a big NO.

There is a huge variance between being there for people and being inauthentic to please people. The irony is that we often do this for people we love thinking it is what they want. It is not. All they want is our needs to be met, but they can’t know them unless we  acknowledge and honor them ourselves.
 

Living the life you want takes great courage and conviction. Breaking away from the crowd is especially hard. But breaking away from your identity and self-limitations, even harder. just be gentle in Honoring who you are.

It begins with you; you are the one who need to decide who you are and what it means to be true to yourself; you are the one who have to find the strength to walk away when something is not right.

 Only you can choose and leave your career. Only you can go into and end your relationship. Only you can decide when to go out, when to stay in, when to push, when to rest, when to try, and when to opt out.

You can’t outsource your choices, but you can give yourself permission to make them. When you honor and value yourself, you are honoring God because you are his creation, a beautiful reflection of him. Honor, cherish and nourish yourself.

                       

Sit back and think of this; what would it look like if you were completely true to yourself today, without judging yourself or compromising to make other people happy?

JUST EXPRESS IT!
