Call-to-Action & Reform

This painful tragedy should never be repeated. We cannot continue to lose mothers and children to negligence. It’s time to demand change: stronger accountability, proper emergency coverage, and healthcare leadership that prioritizes patient safety over excuses. Our voices can spark reform. Let’s raise them.

Hi everyone, trust we had a good valentine’s week.
On our previous post we did an introduction on Self-love. Today we will focus on Self-love as it pertains to success.
Before we go further let’s define success. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary success is the satisfactory completion of something, satisfactory being the focus. There are a lot of motivations to success e.g. financial freedom, family, faith, societal status, even revenge etc., a lot of people are successful because they want to show someone who hurt or mocked or left them in time past that they can be successful without them, they get so motivated and often time they actually achieve success but most times they tend not to get satisfied because they didn’t get the reaction they anticipated and this leads them to go over and beyond just to prove a point, this is an unhealthy type of motivation. You can be successful in a thing without being satisfied and fulfilled because there is something missing…
Self-love is the missing link.
It is the motivation that stands out in success. Selflove is a bedrock on which passion, dedication, commitment, consistency and discipline rest on, it is like nuclear energy that can power literary anything for a very long period of time but can be dangerous when it isn’t understood and used properly. Just like everything in life, self-love has its counterfeit (evil twin) which is selfishness or self-absorption, don’t be self-absorbed that you do anything, hurt anyone just to achieve success. People with narcissistic personality disorder are an e.g. of people who will go to any length to succeed without caring about who they hurt in the process. Self-love in its true nature propels one to love others and seek their success too. Self-love is that protective bubble that shields us from that negativity from the outside, it is from there self-confident, self-preservation, contentment, gratitude, peace, generosity, kindness emanate from. But to fully understand all these you must seek to know yourself enough to love yourself
Ps: In our next post we will be talking about seeking to know one’s self enough to love one’s self

14th February is here again. A much anticipated day, a day of love. Lovers planning to give and show love to each other. But wait a minute, can you truly give what you don't have? What if we view this valentine's day a little differently? What if we focus on SELF LOVE? what if we ponder on the kind of love we are accepting? Are we accepting a love that is less than what we truly deserve? Are we giving so much and receiving so little or nothing at all? Do we mistake lack of self love for Selflessness? Lack of self love is synonymous to low self esteem and lack of self worth. Lack of self love can emanate from societal standards & peer pressure, environment, how you were raised (poor parenting), abuse of all forms and even some religious doctrines, etc.

Selflessness comes from a place of knowledge of yourself, if you don't know yourself you will be easily abused and manipulated which may lead to depression, self resentment or worst case su***de. There are people who in the process of seeking love have fallen into the hands of people who ended up manipulating, using them and then left them for nothing. Please don't mistake selflessness with lack of self worth, a lot of people manifest lack of self worth and they think it is being selfless. When you know yourself you know your boundaries, In those boundaries you can now exhibit selflessness. You can't give what you don't have but as a giver you should know your limits because takers have no limits. Your Time, Energy, Thoughts, space and Resources, these are important things that makes you, you should know how to value these things least someone who knows you don't know their value will come and manipulate you, milk you, abuse you and when you are spent they leave you high and dry. Love yourself enough by setting boundaries and deciding what to accept or not. Remember how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.

In summary seek to know yourself so you can love yourself and ultimately know how to translate that love to others.
Have a beautiful valentine's day ❤ 💕 😘
