SELF ESTEEM...ISSUES?

I tell all those who care to listen (which is usually nobody! lol) that self-esteem is just a product of of our imagination because if one is truly aware of self then we would realize that those "complexities" are just airy figments. By no means shall we ridicule the evident existence of it but I believe things appear more important when you pay attention to it...so stop paying #QED! easier said than done huh!?

One of the few things I've learnt in life that most people who strive their best to put up a picture of perfection are the sadder than they come...why we chase after these shadows still beats me! neither can I grasp why we misconstrue self-awareness for pride/arrogance...at least it shouldn't be so in this age of "unbridled enlightenment". The fact you are confident about who you are and what you want doesn't signify pomposity of any kind...my two cents (don't have more to spare). I call that self-realization, some call high self-esteem! but already understand my dislike for the word anyways lol. Have we stopped to ask ourselves; what is it about me that so disgusts me and what is in the other person that I so covet...take a moment no hurry in life :D. We can actually admire others without deriding ourselves in the process because an irony of life is that eventually we realize that what we WANTED doesn't turn out to be what we NEEDED.

As cliche` as it might sound but worth recognizing that "All that glitters isn't gold". There is really no gain in comparing one's "behind the scene moments" with another's "highlight reel" we all get to take our turns on stage...how well you interpret your role is entirely up to you. Am really excited about the growing awareness on several platforms about discovering and celebrating your true self, it is a breathe of fresh air from the former norm of plasticity. Heartbreaking it is, to see youths with so much potential self-mutilate all in the name of a social trend that is more baseless than a standing ballpoint pen! *side eye* (Hehehe...ok the last part is entirely me :p).

The main "coconut" of the gist is that no one has a right to make you feel less about yourself unless you let them. You were made just as you are for a divine purpose so instead, put your energy into discovering that purpose rather than trying to be some else wey no reach. Some will find that purpose while others won't but at least you can rest, assured that you gave it your best shot. Till our next fruitful gist...Remain true to self #Peace.
