We Hope That You Are Giving Yourself The Same Opportunities That You Are Giving To Others
Here you are, always ready to respond to any request for help, any trace of discomfort or sadness. Always willing to listen to those who need to be understood. Always present and so kind. And always with that kind smile, the concerned look and the heart on the hand. Remember to give yourself opportunities.
It doesn’t matter if you miss them, whether they make mistakes with you or even with themselves. Again, you are there providing opportunities for others. You open other ways, you teach other looks. You heal wounds, dispel doubts and reduce fears. Because you know that most of the time people do the best they can, the best they know, even though the rest of us try not to see it.
You are the support of the staggering one, the engine that gives strength and the flame that projects light into darkness. You are still here. Kindness is your hallmark, and love is your most powerful weapon.
Why are you sometimes so hard on yourself? Why do you abandon yourself, forget yourself and make yourself invisible to your eyes? And why don’t you give yourself the same opportunities that you give to others?
Stop demanding so much and take care of yourself
Sometimes you also need your time, your silence, your moment of peace. Helping others is high on your priority list, but what about you?
Nothing will happen badly if one day you are not up to the task, you cannot handle everything or you will get confused. You have the right to collapse, to allow yourself to fall and to drift. I tell you because I know that sometimes you pull strength where there is none, you draw a smile so that you do not notice the discomfort that invades you inside.
It becomes even more worrying when you are so hard on yourself. When you blame yourself, you criticize yourself for simply doing something wrong or simply not being on time. It’s like you don’t have compassion for yourself, or at least not as much as you have for others. As if the error was a heavy slab that you always have to carry.
You are perfect the way you are, with the glow of your imperfections, which, after all, are your undertones. Those that make you be yourself; with your strength, but also with your wounds. Trust me. The traces of your pain, the traces of your suffering, your reluctance and your worries, you must also let them go, instead of drowning in them. Because only in this way will you be able to feel good.
Give yourself the same opportunities
The opportunities that you give to others, you must give them to yourself as well. Speak to each other, look at each other with affection, and collect your tears. Be patient with yourself, try to understand yourself, and allow yourself to be wrong. You have the right to have a gray day. In fact, your duty is not always to be well or to put on a costume to make others believe it.
Of course, don’t forget to put limits on the people around you and yourself. Sometimes a space is needed. Because although your kindness is infinite and limitless, a minimum of respect is essential.
Learn to forgive yourself to give yourself back opportunities
Just as you forgive others, I hope you will forgive yourself. Whatever happens, forgive yourself. Both for the times when you didn’t know how to react and for the times when you didn’t even know how to do it. Be brave enough to give yourself other opportunities, start over and discover other perspectives.
Because if you do it with others, why not with yourself? Transform the level of demand you have with yourself and eliminate the possibility of achieving perfection from your mind. This idea is only a utopia, a standard that tortures you. And if you find it difficult, try practicing this simple exercise: imagine what happens to you happens to a friend, how would you act? Think about it.
It is quite normal to be sad sometimes, because apart from being a right, it is also part of the process, which we go through every day, and which is to continue to grow personally. Forgive yourself and show love and affection with yourself, to maintain the same treatment with yourself as with others.
Realize that nothing bad will happen
Little by little, you will realize that nothing special is happening if at some point you say no, if you need time for yourself. Sometimes you have to make an appointment with yourself. Only then will you know how you are doing, what you want to do and where you are going. Only in this way will you be able to recharge the necessary energy to continue giving love to all those in need.
Remember, you have the right to give yourself the same opportunities that you give to others …
