Hello, love.
Reading through this, I remember the book I started reading which I told you about. The truth is, no matter how much we try to avoid negativity, it will always come to us but the one that we have to be weary of is not the one that come from people because most times it’s actually the truth about us though our weaknesses. The negativity we should be waging a war at is the one that comes from us.

I have seen cases when someone tries to tell someone how ugly they look and the person’s response was just out of this world and that goes to tell us how much that person has been able to work on herself. She was like, oh! Yes that’s not a new thing, can you be ugly? Being ugly is not what makes us the best or worst people so, we shouldn’t let these things affect us but then, most times we just can’t help it. It takes a lot of work to be able to start turning negativity into positivity. First, we will have to win that battle in our minds because that where the whole problem lies.

I have had days when I have low self esteem and since I started recognizing that I fight most of this battle in my mind, I stopped seeing every criticism from people as an offense. If it’s something that I can work on, I will do so but if I can’t, it means it’s the truth and though it’s bitter, I just need to accept it or else it will keep weighing me down when people tell me about it.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, love. ❤️

Hello there, love. This is really a beautiful comment.
First off, I'm happy that you are ready that book; it is obviously loaded with many “rare gems.”

The truth is that, it is difficult to overlook what people say. I understand that the best way to battle these wars is to, OVERLOOK THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS. But the truth is that this process is not easy at all, particularly for people who have big insecurities.

It takes a lot to be like your friend. Your friend is strong, but not everyone is strong love.

Thank you so much for the beautiful compliment, love. 🤭

The truth is, not everyone can be like my friend like you’ve mentioned, not even me. I know and that is why I’m working on myself because it’s the best. I don’t want anyone to be like my friend, I just want everyone to see that there is a way to get over these things and we shouldn’t give up on trying to work on ourselves. I mean, we can be better so why hold ourselves back?

And yes, negative words get to most of us and it’s actually really hard to just discard them but those who easily discard them or turn them into something more positive, live freer and happier.
