Love Yourself


(04.01.10)

Height: 5'9" Weight: 143 lbs. Waistline: 32 in Chest: 34 in. Glute: 36 in. With very thin legs. Very unfit. A former lactose intolerant and insomniac. A frustrated runner, a former ultimate frisbee athlete that still has a lot to improve on. Can't speak english well, has 3 cats when he want 6, wants a sporting canine when he has a soft and sweet pet dog. Took up 2 courses in college and still wants more. Yep! That's me!

BUT...

I Love Myself.

I have learned to accept who I am, what I'm not and what I have and don't have and that is what I think is the secret to truly loving yourself. I still wish for something else or better, but I let go of that and just believe that I'll get them at the right time. Or maybe I won't get them at all... And that's fine with me I guess... :)

Since I started being contended, I had less frustrations, I mean, sure I still want to study some more, I still want an agility dog, I still want to run faster and I still want big tight glutes! But guess what!? Doesn't mean I can't run my dog even if he's not athletic? Doesn't mean I can't take up another course in the future, it doesn't mean I can't practice running whenever I can? And it doesn't mean I cant improve my physique when I get the chance right?

So go on! Accept who you are, how you look, who you're not, WHAT your not and live a life that's worth living! It is in that way you can only, truly love yourself Ü

hmmmmm ... definitely difficult for most of us even at the best of times ... but also definitely worth the effort, at all times.

Hi there Mr. Anonymous,

Thanks for dropping a comment, I still struggle sometimes but I just try to accept things as it is. It is never easy to do it but I practiced a lot I guess :) Hope you can work on doing it too, it gets easier in time :) I appreciate it more if you can include your email btw...

Thanks,
-Brad
