Self Appreciation

Do you know how many people in this life feel that other people are better than them? , People that feel that they are not good enough in this life? People who feel unworthy? People who feel inadequate in society? People who think good things should not happen to them?

Well, this does not have to be you. If you want to start living a full life, then, rid yourself of such negative thought. You are worthy, you are great.

Marianne Williamson said it more clearly!

 "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

—Marianne Williamson "

We are all fearfully made in the image of God. Each of us has unique DNA. We each have a part to play in this Universe. We have journey's to accomplish. However there is no way we will achieve our destiny if we keep feeling unworthy. Acknowledge that you are special today.


You can begin to love yourself. Everything you have about you is special and God made it that way for a reason. Appreciate your looks, wisdom, knowledge, strength and use it to the best of your ability.
You need to make these affirmations if you are victim of this on a daily basis till you break out of this cycle.
  • Am beautiful and it does not matter what the World says.
  • I love my self
  • Am thankful to God for the gift of Life.
  • I hold the keys to change in my life and my society
  • The world is watching me earnestly to see that i make my mark
  • Other People's opinion of me will not shape my reality.
  • Am not just passing through this life as a statistic
  • I will change someone's life every day.
  • I will not fail you God in the journey am making
  • I enjoy and embrace all the joy in my life.
  • I choose to see good in every thing around me
Well, this is just a list you can add on to. Look at yourself as a jewel. You have the power to change the course of whatever happens to you based on your reaction and your very own self appreciation. Make a choice and make that change today. Appreciate yourself today because tomorrow may be too late.

Self Motivation - A Daily Necessity

What an age we live in today. The pressure and speed of life is not the same as the years go by. There is a need to do things better and faster with less resources. As the population grows, resources continue to be more scarce as the demand increases at constant supplies. Well, you may not be understanding what am talking about, but i can put it in this perspective. I live in a country called Uganda and i have been in employment now close to eight years. As i have grown in career, year by year, demands have really increased on the job and i must say rewards have grown too but not really commensurate. These are the days we are living in.
This is not happening only in the employment sector, even the age of entrepreneurship has been swamped by schools of fish. In almost all fields of life, we now have to face cut throat competition to survive. I can only say that this will only get much worse in the future unless we prepare. In these instances, we need to keep recharging our batteries of life and also having a daily dose of self motivation. I certainly want to share about self motivation after getting to appreciate the underlying need for it to survive in this age.
 The path to achievement in the past was still the same but much easier than it is today because of the growth in our population. We need to fight to survive in this age and therefore need to be self motivated each day. The day you stop fighting is the day your life will take a down ward trend. If you see this as where you are now, you better re-organise and start fighting to get back up to where you should be.
I have realised that to do the extra-ordinary is the new requirement of this age and those who do not accept this will be eaten up and left to complain about life. Life is what you make it. I want to encourage you that it is possible still to achieve your goals and the extra-ordinary today. It is possible.
Self motivation requires a certain state of mind that keeps the brain healthy, the soul alive and the spirit on fire. I recommend the need for having a vision of what you want to do in life, something you like and a daily re-affirmation that it will be done in your time. Get plenty of exercises done on a daily, self help study, prayer and inspiration of those working harder than you. As you do this, you will be working smart and the joy of achievement on a daily as you grow closer to achievement of your goal will keep you on fire to do beyond your belief. We are all fearfully made in the image of God and i will be very glad to see us all live to our fullest potential. Get on the motivated side and victories will then be a way of life. Self motivation is a daily necessity.
