How many times in a day do you find yourself doing things that others have asked you to do, or that you know someone likes so you do it for them? Why do we all find solitary meals to be a bane on our existence? Why are we obsessed with what people are writing on our Facebook profiles or what they think of us? We’ve started to define ourselves by what people perceive us to be. We want to be accepted, we want to be loved. But does that mean we give up our individuality just to please others? How will someone like us if we don't like what we make of ourselves? If every day, we start doing things just for ourselves, we’ll be fifty percent happier with our lives than now. Why? Because we’re doing things we like, it will make us feel appreciated, by our own selves! As someone famous said,
"The first step to make people love you is to love yourself"Next time, prepare a nice meal for yourself, set the table, dim the lights and enjoy your meal in your company. You will feel loved by your own self in a way you’ve never felt before. You will be doing something worthwhile with your moments :)
