Because YOU matter the most for YOURSELF!!

 

You ever took a pause from your life and thought for a while, what am I doing for myself ? Am I happy with the life I am living ? Am I just sacrificing my happiness only for those who take me for granted? What on a single day am I doing for my happiness? We never gave a second thought to this, Right? Because we are too busy expecting others to make us happy, expecting others to make us their priorities.

I know there are the days when nothing feels right, when nothing really goes the way we expected or we wanted it to be, there are even those days when people leave the hold of your hands, when your parents starts doubting your potential, when someone is unsure about their feelings towards you, when you are only stuck between you should stand out to others' expectations or take a stand for yourself, your happiness. 

We all do fight with such questions in our everyday life. But honestly it is just the consequence of the state of our mind which is just confined to others' perceptions about us, others' expectations from us which tends to bind us In a thread of worthlessness. 

Adaptation to a simple rule would do wonders.

MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY THE WAY YOU EXPECT FROM OTHERS.

If you feel like crying, shatter yourself in a room and cry your heart out. If you feel like nobody listens you, nobody knows the pain you are going through, talk to your self, tell yourself you are worthy of every happiness, every joys of this world, when they leave the hold of your hand, ensure that they never deserved you. Never doubt yourself for being incapable of standing out to others' expectations.

When you have no one to sit beside you just to listen what you've gone through, what are you going through,  what did it cost to be the way you are at this point of life? Stand up. take a deep breath. Pause and recall everything that brings back that wide smile on your face or the things that ever been proven as rainbow to your sky.

Prioritize your own self. Start manifesting the things that seems heavy in your head and heart. People will expect you to compromise with yourselves for them. NO. When it requires compromising your own happiness, your own self, that means those things are never meant for you. 

Expectations never ends. Even we cannot completely stop ourselves expecting from others. There always lies a hope that compels us for the same.

Remember, at the end of the day you are only left with yourselves so make those 24 hours count. Cook your favourite food for yourself, dance even when people stares you for being carefree about them. Stand before the mirror and sing even the terrible songs with the most unmelodious voice of yours. Watch those cartoons , watching which in your childhood you did want anyone to interrupt your indulgence.

Also, do not forget to remind yourselves what crazy insane nut you are for being only bothered about those people who eventually turned out to be a mere existing soul, making your life a little more tedious.

A little extra care for yourselves, a little more consciousness about your happiness, a little extra efforts in prioritizing yourselves, a little more time devoted to listen to your intuitions and obviously least influenced from perception of others would eventually make your existence worth living.

After all who would not desire a life where every beautiful moment feels as if it was only waiting for us to acknowledge that, to dwell into that.

Ultimately what matters the most is your happiness, your desires and of course your peace.
