Self-Destructing

It's time to run free... wild without chains. Its time to discover,  takes chances, and explore.  Its time to reveal who you are and what you can do.  It's time to take chances with your potential and discover what you're made of. For so long I lived in my shell. Literally.  I would barely let others get to know the person inside of me, although it wasn't easy to hide. I have always had a love for people but I was so shy.  I buried my talents and gifts behind a wide smile. I believe most of my procrastination with following my dreams where due to the fear of how I would be perceived... ..but now I have reached a point in my walk of life where I say to myself, "what do I have to lose?"

When I think to myself, I realize I wasted so much time being in my comfort zone because I thought maybe I wasn't good enough or no one will listen to me. Sometimes we self-destruct and are not even aware of it. We beat ourselves up so much that in the end we have nothing to offer anyone or even ourselves.  We are our own worst enemy.  " If there's no enemy within, the enemy outside can do is no harm." We damage ourselves more than others are capable of ever doing.  Sometimes we can kill our own self-esteem by the way we view ourselves and negative self-talk. Like how many good things do you speak to yourself on a daily basis ? Do you build yourself up? Or do you tear your self down? I think sometimes we don't realize how much we have the ability to damage ourselves. Or we rather blame others for our shortcomings.  It's so much easier to self- destruct.  If you think about it, building anything takes work,  dedication,  and patience.  We never have patience with ourselves. How is that????? How is that we give so much to others but never enough to ourselves. Why are we self-destructing???? Everytime we think less of ourselves or settle for less we are self-destructing. We are killing our potential.  We are poisoning our self-image.... and guess what???? How we treat ourselves is how the world will treat us.

I made the decision decades ago to always build myself up, love myself and embrace my flaws.....but I still found myself hiding my beauty from others for the fear that they wouldn't appreciate it......but now its time to run free.... wild without chains.


P.S. stop killing yourself.

For Him. For Her. FOREVER LOVE.  God is love
