I Choose Me

By Chandini Ravikumar

It is unfortunate that we all are not born on this earth with a guide to life. If that was so, wouldn’t that have made things easier for us in every possible way? Sadly, we must learn the purpose for our life through our experiences, be it good or bad. The mistake we as humans generally make, is living our lives in the image of what others might think we should be. We tend to live for others, taking care of everyone else, and ultimately forget to take care of ourselves.

What does choosing yourself mean? It means:

1. You live your life for no one else, but you.

2. You bring in immense positivity for yourself without allowing negativity to settle in

3. You set standards in your life.

Reasons why it is important to choose yourself:

1. To remember you are your biggest fan.

2. To take control of your own life.

3. To take control of your own happiness.

4. To never give up on yourself.

5. To know your worth.

6. To take pride in yourself.

When you choose yourself, it does not mean putting people last, it just means you are putting yourself first; taking enough care of yourself to eventually help others. When we take care, and love ourselves in abundance, we open a world of happiness not just for ourselves, but for others as well.

So go ahead, look into the mirror, and say, “Today… I choose me.”
