Live a day as though you like yourself…

What would it mean to live a day as though you liked yourself?

We are in so much hate with ourselves these days. You may disagree but I bet your thoughts would tell you different. Imagine if I gave you an internal tape recorder and as you to play all your negative self-thoughts back to yourself before you went to sleep each night, it’d be pretty harsh ey?

How have we got like this? The promotion of peace, love and kindness builds around us externally as we all constantly give our opinion on how the love seems to have been lost in our world. We say the words and we tell ourselves that we mean it, but then just continue on this self-hate destruction path secretly, with no one knowing that our thoughts towards ourselves are still full of hate.

With us, or against us…

I heard about a little girl being bullied the other day, the daughter of someone I know. She’d been called “fat” by another girl on her road. She is 5. FIVE.YEARS.OLD and most certainly not fat, even if she was, should a 5 year old even understand what it means to be calling another girl “fat”?

She obviously knew it was an insult. I guess at that age you may be a little less shocked if the girl being bullied WAS a bigger girl, because then we could say well, at 5 years old, was the other girl merely pointing out what she saw as a truth?

But no, because it was directed as an insult. This little girl on the receiving end was very, not fat.

Cue that very first seed planted for a life of “I don’t look good enough as I am”.
