A challenge

I don't Really know how many took on my last challenge, at least two did and so here we are on a new day and i feel inspired to give more challenges, So here is today's topic and challenge.
I feel that so many times we neglect to see the good in ourselves, we are quick to judge and belittle the one person that matters the most. Beating yourself up can actually be hard on those around you take it from me. Some one I care about very much says he hates himself, it breaks my heart that he can not see what an amazing man he is, and it drives me crazy that he can not see what I see.
Its not vain or prideful to love yourself. Saying good things about you is not always boasting, not if none in a manner of love. Boasting is when you take excessive pride in ones self and place your self about others or say things with the intention to belittle others.
The greatest love you will ever know is self love.
Love yourself unconditionally just as you you would others. Meaning don't judge yourself. do you stop loving your child because he spills his food all over the floor? all the parents i know would say they still love them so why do we stop loving ourselves so easily? plus that stuff is in the past sure if it was something done to another you can go and ask for forgiveness but that does not do any thing to change what was done. No i am not saying you are doomed because its been done I am saying you are the one that places that doom over your head and until you forgive yourself and see how much there is to love about you it can be a pretty dark and lonely place.
Is there someone in your life you want to love and know that you love them with all your heart. Well Everyone has heard that you have to love yourself before someone else can love you. The reason for this is simple - your ideal partner is a reflection of you. You attract people that are like you. Not just in terms of romantic, sexual/physical attraction. You attract them metaphysically  these people tend to turn up in your lives. Everyone seems to long for love and from what i Experienced so far in this life Many dream of growing old with a person they really love. Most imagine coming home to this person every single day. We envision long conversations over the dinner table, sleeping soundly in the same bed, coming home every day and seeing their face. We want commitment, loyalty, and trust. We want to feel safe. We want security – the pleasant fact that we have someone who has promised to love us and keep us company for the rest of our lives. We want to proudly marry them, have children with them, raise a family with them. We want them to support us. We want to think about them more than we think about ourselves. We want to make them the happiest they have ever been.

The thing is We cannot expect someone to commit to us if we are not devoted to ourselves. We cannot hope for someone to support us if we don’t have faith in ourselves. We cannot wish for security and laughter and jealous fights if we do not believe that we deserve it. We cannot be honest with our partner if we lie to ourselves. Our partner cannot listen to us if we muffle our own inner voices. they cannot take care of us if we don’t know how to heal our own wounds. they cannot make us feel confident if we are deeply insecure. he/she will not believe in us if we do not believe in us. We cannot expect someone else to love us if we do not love ourselves.We deserve to be committed to who we are. We deserve to support all our hopes and dreams. We get to believe we are funny if we want to make someone truly laugh. We get to learn how to take care of ourselves before we let someone else try. We get to know what we want out of an argument before we start bickering. We get to listen to ourselves. We deserve to take a deep breath and listen. We get to have confidence.Only we can pull ourselves out of the black hole of insecurity. We get to know that the only person who we can depend on is us. We get to like our personality. We get to recognize our weaknesses. We get to love ourselves through our mistakes, self-described flaws, and any regrets we may have. We get to believe in who we are, always and forever.
I might have gone way off track with my ranting on and on but i feel i got my point across haha, So on to the Challenge.
 Today, meaning before sleeping again after you read this, Write a list of at least 10 things you love about you. Then to really take a stand for loving you post your 2 in your FB status. If you are ever asked why challenge them as well to First write a list of 10 things they love about them selves and then post 2 in their FB status. Lets spread the love.
Example of FB status " I love.. My eyes that change colors with my mood and I love that I have a beautiful singing voice!"
Take it on!
