This was a blog I posted on the 21st of January. Read it again, then I thought it might be a blessing reposting again for someone out there. Enjoy

Hello,

How are you doing? Hope you are doing well. Have you ever wondered or asked yourself why you don’t love yourself enough. A little negative thought, we equate it to us not loving ourselves enough. Well, if that is not you, what about this? Have you ever talked to someone or a so-called friend about something that resulted into you getting the wrong end of a deal, and the advice they gave you was that “you should put yourself first”? Put your happiness first they say. All in the expense of others. Although all these sounds very good on the surface, I have something else to propose to you.

Nowadays you see a lot of books, ads and videos on self-improvement. You can’t do without listening to those music that affirms your lifestyles and your feelings. You can’t do without listening to your favourite so-called influencer advise on how to keep yourself happy. Influencers? I take it back, more like “I just want to be out there for people to validate me”. You find out down the line that all this is a façade. I mean tell me something I don’t understand here. How can someone who is medicated to be happy with their lives, all of a sudden becomes the one dashing out advices like its’s no one’s business? I am not trying to be unkind here, but what are we actually doing with our lives? Those who genuinely need help will probably see here those advice and take them too, instead of seeking what those influencers are actually on. Sad!!!!. You hear people saying they can not carry on with a marriage because their need is not being met. Everyone wants to put themselves first. Is that how we make the world a so-called better place?. Everything is all about me, me, me. The narcissism is unreal. 

Everything around us is inflated with narcissism. The artist you listen to can’t stop taking about themselves. It’s all about them. They feed you their thoughts and you make it yours. You think you resonate to what they are saying. In directly you make it about your self to. The movies we watch tells us that everything is about us. I was fed those thoughts for a while too. Then it began to make no sense after I tried to make everything about me and still me is not happy. Why would we not get depressed if we are not meeting the demands set up for ourselves. We all reminisce of the old times. When we were kids, not stressing and not thinking about ourselves too much. We think that is just normal. No it’s not. As kids, we were not influenced by the self-loving mentality. We always cared for everything and everyone around us. We don’t stressed about ourselves. We moved through life stress-free. Now we have been influenced by everything. Our digital heroine would not let us rest. We think we are so connected to each other through social media, yet so far away. Make it make sense.

It’s a rat race my friend. We can never make ourselves happy. Enough for us is Just a little bit more. There is never enough. I tell you though, God will make you happy. God is everything. We keep chasing everything to please ourselves, but ourselves will never be happy. We always want more, to the point that we can’t keep up anymore. Why do you think people deactivate their accounts for a while when they are down in life, it’s because they can’t keep up anymore. So they take a break to come back to the same vomit. My friend, it is a rat race. The narcissism in this generation is unreal. There is more to like, not chasing fun to please you. My friend you will never be satisfied. Find God and please Him. He is the only person, thing, book, ads, video, music who can satisfy you. There is more to this thing we call life. Like does not exist for your happiness. If you die today, guess what, Life could care less. Everything does not evolve around you. Why do you think the suicide rates are up? People, there is more to life. Don’t watch it waste away. We think we are living life, but we are just passing time. We have all made everything about ourselves.

The best advice I can give you is to live life for God and serve others.

The best view to have about yourself is to think nothing of yourself. If you think to low of your self, you will get sad and depressed, and if you think too high of yourself, you will get sad and depressed if you are not meeting those standard.

Humans, there is more to life.
