Embracing Self-Love: A Journey of Discovery

 Embracing Self-Love: A Journey of Discovery

Have you ever encountered the metaphor of the "Styrofoam cup"? If not, I encourage you to explore it—it’s a powerful illustration of self-love that has resonated with many.

When you search for self-love online, you’ll often find definitions like "caring for one's own well-being and happiness." While these words sound nice, they barely scratch the surface of a concept that many of us struggle to fully understand.

After embarking on my own journey of self-discovery, I realized that self-love is so much more than mere words. Here are some key steps that have helped me along the way:

1. Reflect on Your 'Why.'
I used to shy away from asking "Why?"—a question that often triggers defensiveness in others. However, a pivotal moment for me was discovering Simon Sinek’s message: “Focus on YOURSELF in 2025.” This made me realize that I needed to embrace my true self.

For a long time, I believed that as long as I did good, everything would turn out fine. Yet, my life felt unfulfilled. I was driven by a need for recognition, doing things for others out of fear of being an outcast. This realization was eye-opening.

2. The Power of Helping Really Well.
A story that recently changed my perspective features two friends, Moon and Sun. When Moon secretly assisted Sun with his financial struggles, it backfired—Sun felt disrespected and unvalued, ultimately leading to their fallout.

This story highlights important lessons about helping others:

  • Ask Before You Act: Help must come from a place of request, not assumption.
  • Empower Through Encouragement: Offer motivation and solutions, allowing others to find their own path.
  • Practice Empathy: Be present without interference—sometimes, the best support is to let them walk their journey alone.
  • Awareness of Karma: Remember, every unrequested assistance can weigh heavily on your own life.

The essence of self-love is understanding that each individual is on their own unique journey. We are born alone and will ultimately leave this world alone—our paths are ours to navigate.

You might be thinking, “I practice self-love; I know this already.” If that resonates, why are you still reading? The universe has a way of sending us lessons when we’re ready to learn them.

If you find yourself questioning your current understanding of self-love, consider reaching out to me. Let’s have a coaching conversation centered on purpose and alignment. You can connect by sending me a request or emailing me directly. Together, we can explore this vital journey of self-discovery.

Rebuilding From Within: Healing Your Inner Child to Master Your Destiny

#MasteringOurDestiny: Understanding and Healing the Inner Child When I started off on this journey, I began with a focus on #richness—richness of life, growth, and meaning. Ironically, perhaps it was this richness that led to my Facebook account being hacked. It’s been almost eight months now, and I’m still in the process of trying to retrieve it. What a lesson this has been! In the early days, backup measures were nonexistent, and the recovery process now demands information that wasn’t even required during initial registration. Believe it or not, the hacking happened on a day of discovery—a day when a deep secret came to light. But that’s life. Change happens, and we move forward. I decided to shift my focus to this new chapter under #masteringourdestiny. I began to rebuild—not just my Facebook account but my life. I dug deeper into my #unconsciousmind, and one truth became very clear: the only constant in life is change. Is change good or bad? Well, it depends on how we look at ...

How Does One Achieve a Breakthrough? The effect.

This reflects the experiences of many people in life. They want to break through their challenges, but how can they do it? Some manage it by staying quiet, while others shout their intentions to anyone who will listen. Personally, I've been stuck in a cycle for many years until I began to discover my inner child. When you observe others expressing their frustrations or dissatisfaction, you may have a different opinion based on how well you know them. Generally, these types of people can be categorized as follows: 1. Learned Helplessness They may feel powerless to change their circumstances, believing their efforts won't make a difference, even if they try. For example, I have a friend who is afraid of dying. He perceives news about toxins as good news, which he uses to manipulate people. He relies on fear to mask his sense of helplessness. 2. Negative Thinking Some individuals tend to focus on problems rather than solutions, often exaggerating the negatives while ignoring...

Procrastination - is murdering your energy.

 Procrastination is can be a habit if not address immediately. People who procrastinate missed a lot of opportunities in life. They said, in order to build a habit one just need to do it 3 to 5 times. Others said that it takes about 18 to 254 days. Then what happened to all the sciences when I said that it takes second to build. This is because when I was attending a workshop that encourage us to mouth vulgar words, it just stuck with so much energy to me. I do not even think it is wrong to do so. Therefore, do procrastination needs so long?   #Wikipedia categorized this as the unwillingness to act even though they know that it is a negative consequences. Then you will ask, why one do it? Good question. Now, why do you do it then? Be honest, we have done this before and maybe in future too. However, what is the cause for people to keep doing it? Based on the research done, the following are some of the valid reasons for this habits. To me, I believe it is a secondary gain...
