Courageous Self Love

To truly love oneself is a very courageous act.  In order to be able to honor your soul’s needs and desires there sometimes comes a time when you decide that going with the status quo is harmful to your emotional health. Making this choice however does come with a price, you just need to decide what exactly you are willing to sacrifice for which choice. Women do this every single day that they stay with a man who does not treat them the way they deserve to be treated, with kindness and respect. Men have turned the world upside down and have learned to use feminism to their advantage and have learned to prey upon women’s insecurities to manipulate situations in their favor.

 

This is not to say that every man is like this, just the bad ones.  They would have you believe there are many more women vying for their attention who are more willing to do whatever it takes to end up getting used by that male. Accepting this way of thinking as truth results in you being vulnerable to falling prey to the types of men who would have you believing it. Of course they are going to do everything to convince you that loving yourself first by not giving into the pressures to let him seduce you is the wrong thing to do.  That’s the game. You have to learn to understand the game. Actually, no you don’t. Understanding the game is irrelevant. All you have to do is make a conscious choice that you are not going to let anyone else use you (your mind) or your body for defilement.
