CAN YOU CONNECT WITH MY STORY ? I grew up not knowing my dad even though I knew he existed. I could not fathom the circumstance under which a normal man could decide to kick his wife out of her matrimonial home barely a week after giving birth. In life I have been subjected to extreme mistreatment both physical and emotional by people who I thought would protect me...I have been called a bastard, a weasel, a baboon, a dolt, undeserving, a good-for-nothing flaneur and many more. I have done odd jobs from house help, digging pit latrines to hawking. My self esteem has been battered and toyed. In a world where education is regarded as the key to success, an illiterate bastard like me has no space of living. I have cried and even contemplated suicide after questioning my legitimacy in this world yielded no answers. Am not sharing this so that you can pity me..Am sharing this so that we all can identify with and be inspired...If I could have let in all that negative energy take control over me, I couldnt have been the success story that I am today. In this world, if someone told you that you look average, you automatically consider that as a degrading, insulting and a very demeaning remark. The media has invaded our homes and undermined the very core foundation of self compassion hence projecting wrong signals on self worth. Our sisters have invested so much on their looks in order to feel appreciated because thats the only way they know how to feel good about themselves. Dear friends, when your self esteem is under attack, you do not become a lesser human. Allow self compassion to kick in. Self compassion is not about judging yourself positively rather embracing and appreciating who you are no matter the circumstances. You do not need anything or anyone to validate your beauty. We will always feel inferior, imperfect, judgmental, depressed and even restless until that time we shall embrace self compassion.......PSALMS 139:14 I will praise thee: for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well ........(2 B CONTINUED) ENJOY YOUR WEEK
