Have you ever asked yourself that question? Well, many times we are and probably without even realizing it. I find that I sometimes can’t even take a compliment. I have to find some way to reduce it by providing a reason why what was said is not true! Are you kidding me???
Ladies, we work hard, we play hard, and might I add, we have survived so that’s worth celebrating and embracing. I’m sure we have all been through something, the key word here is through meaning we are now on the other side of that something. Hopefully, we have learned a thing or two along the way so as to not repeat that something again and again and again.
Yep, it’s me Stiletto trying to learn how to love myself first and not be my own worst critic. I recognize that I have certainly managed to survive a few things like a death of a parent, a divorce, a nasty car accident and several heartbreaks just to name a few. So why does this journey of loving myself first seem even more difficult then most of what I’ve been through already? Seems simple enough, logical even……but not so easy.
But I’m determined! I want to experience all that God has in store for me. If He loves me, and I know that He does, then I can love me. I can start by no longer criticizing myself and when someone gives me a compliment I can just say “thank you” and keep it moving.
Remember, you can’t expect someone else to love you if you don’t even love YOU. So let’s stop being our own worst critic and start becoming our biggest fan because we are so worth it!!
