I thought that you may want to listen to this song to encourage you today. We all go through life valleys that help us grow so that we can wear the crown. Embrace your inner self. Love you!

We expect to wake up, see, hear, breathe, walk and talk. As an educator I expect my students to always do their best. When I braid my hair I expect that when I take my hair down that it has grown healthy and strong. When I change my eatting habits and workout I expect to loose weight. What happens when these things do not materialize? Personally, I find that I am heartbroken, disappointed and hard on myself. I am left stressing trying to figure out what I did not do correctly. When we give our time, energy and resources to others all the time without pouring back into ourselves we are left depleated. We drag and sometimes compare ourselves and situations to others. Guess what? Simply pour into yourself what you gave away. It is like having a bank account full of money and then you make so many purchases that you are left with huge overdraft fees. Ouch!!! As people we have to care for ourselves and love on ourselves before we can do anything for others. Babe it is OKAY to do for yourself first. When you do something simply stellar give yourself a pat on the back without looking for an applause. You are your own cheerleader. Be confident in yourself. No one else is responsible for making us feel good about ourselves or abilities. That goes along with loving who you are. That is our resonsibility as Babes. We are independent in this life and sometimes we are given special people along our journey for specific reasons but not necessarily to depend on them or vice versa. Sometimes the people on our journey are temporary. They teach us something whether it is good or bad. Remember whatever it is, it is for our good. It will make you stronger and more aware. Back to the topic at hand. Make yourself the center of your world without being apologetic. I am not saying do not care for others, I am saying to love yourself first in order to love others. Make yourself a priority babe. It will help when others disappoint you. Normally, it is not personal and sometimes the hurt hurt other people, but when you love yourself you can better accept that their behavior and problems have NOTHING to do with you even when they project onto you. You just happen to be in their path. So, love yourself without expectations of others.
