Self Appreciation

I’ve learned a lot of lessons in my life up to this point. I’ve learned to laugh, know when to play the cards I’ve been dealt, and know how to pick myself back up after tripping. But I love learning new things about life and myself everyday. Keeps life interesting ya know?

The past couple of weeks, I’ve really learned to love myself. I used to look at myself and think I have a lot of work to do. Improving myself to the best capacity of what’s possible has been a goal of mine for a while, and it still is.

What I learned is how to look at how far I’ve come from where I was. I don’t think we as humans do that enough. It’s always self criticism, and rarely self appreciation. I look at all the skills I’ve acquired, all the knowledge I know, what I look like, what my personality is like, and I can say I’m proud of myself now. I never focus on that part, only improvements.

Instead of criticizing everything, appreciate what you do have. Someone in this life will, even if it’s not you all the time.
