HOW TO RESPECT YOURSELF...

1. Stop looking for who is not looking for you.

2. Stop begging.

3. Stop saying more than is necessary.

4. When people disrespect you, confront them immediately.

5. Don't eat other people's food more than they eat yours.

6. Reduce how you visit some people, especially if they don't reciprocate.

7. Invest in yourself. Make yourself happy.

8. Stop entertaining gossip about other people.

9. Think before you talk. 80% of how people value you is what comes out of your mouth.

10. Always look your best. Dress the way you should be addressed.

11. Be an achiever. Get busy with your goals.

12. Respect your time.

13. Don't stay in a relationship where you don't feel respected and valued. Walk away.

14. Learn to spend money on yourself. That's how people will learn to spend on you.

15. Be scarce sometimes.

16. Be a giver more than a receiver.

17. Don't go where you are not invited. And when invited, don't overstay your welcome.

18. Treat people exactly the way they deserve.

19. Except they owe you money, two call attempts are enough. If they value you, they will call you back.

20. Be good at what you do. Be the best.

Today, and every day...

I hope you wake with an army of stars in your eyes.

I hope you march through darkness like the mightiest torch.

I hope your footsteps light the wicks of every room you walk into.

I hope you are brighter than a million suns and warmer than a handful of galaxies.

I hope it is difficult for you to hold on to doubts and easier for you to remember how wonderful it is for you to carry your light.

And how miraculous it is for you to shine the way only you do.

And I hope you wake knowing that it is a gift to be you.

today's Donna Ashworth...

Not everyone will like you.

Not everyone will agree with the things you say, or do.

Not everyone will understand why you are who you are,

which trials and tribulations made you stronger, weaker, braver.

Not everyone will care enough to look beneath, peek behind,

Or read between.

That’s ok.

Some people will.

Some people will find you so fascinating that they will delve right into your depths.

Some people will devour your words and commit them to memory, should they ever need to revisit them again in times of pain.

Some people will crave your company like a flower craves the rain.

Some people will not only appreciate your light but they will reflect it right back.

They will charge you from the soul, like being plugged into the sun.

Those are your people.

Accept no shade from haters my friend, life brings enough of that.

Always seek out the light.

from Donna Ashworth, one of my current favorite writers...

Don’t prioritise your looks, my friend, they won’t last the journey.

Your sense of humour, though, will only get better.
Your intuition will grow and expand like a majestic cloak of wisdom.
Your ability to choose your battles, will be fine-tuned to perfection.
Your capacity for stillness, for living in the moment, will blossom.
And your desire to live each and every moment will transcend all other wants.
Your instinct for knowing what (and who) is worth your time, will grow and flourish like ivy on a castle wall.
Don’t prioritise your looks, my friend, they will change forevermore,
that pursuit is one of much sadness and disappointment.
Prioritise the uniqueness that makes you you, and the invisible magnet that draws in other like-minded souls to dance in your orbit.
These are the things which will only get better.
