It finally rained today….. Think Earth really needs some cooling down… it’s been so hot these day, i could fry an egg on the top of my head.
Was watching Ellen Degeneres show today and she was talking about giving yourself an applause each day when you wake up in the morning… ( Whoohoo!!! I’m awake! I’m awake! *claps* ) Yes, it sounds hilarious. Even more so when it’s her saying it ( i just love her comical voice! esp her voiceover for Dory in Finding Nemo ). But i think she’s right. We should really be grateful for being able to wake up each day, with a roof over our head, food for our body and soul, work for our accomplishments, friends for company and kins for support.
Often we overlook the good in ouselves and we focus on the not so good. We tends to give ourselves a hard time and seldom give ourselves compliments. We think that compliments can only be good if it comes from others. Thus we seek acknowledgements and approvals from others, even if it’s those who doesn’t matters to you at all, their views about you does. And that can be very damaging to your self-esteem. Coz we are trying to base our self-image upon other’s opinions about us, which sometimes may be misleading.
I guess what i’m trying to convey is that We all have flaws. To those who matters, your flaws are merely skin-deep. They will see pass through that. In fact, they may even be oblivious to any flaws you have until you mention it. Try to learn to accept whatever flaws it may be and if there’s anything you can do to change it, then take baby steps towards achieving that change coz it’s not gonna happen overnight. And be patient. If there’s nothing you can do to change it, then learn to accept it and maybe even use that flaw and create something good outta it.
If you choose to be happy, you will be. Happiness is a state of mind.
So yup, let’s all start giving ourself a compliment to start each day with a bang!
I’ll start by saying….
” I can sing weird happy tunes and make it sounds nice!” 
See, when i talk like this, i’m really just talking to myself. So if anyone finds that useful, please feel free to apply it to yourself. Although i’m not responsible for any emotional, mental or physical distress, trauma or enlightenment it may cause.
