How Can I Believe In Myself?

How Can I Believe In Myself?

BY Alece Chanel Dickerson

How can I stop my intense need for acceptance and love?

How can I love myself better?

How can I accept criticism from people I don’t like, even when they are right?

How can I believe in myself and believe more in my god-given abilities?

How can I manifest these abilities and use them in the best way possible?

How can I become more prayerful and faithful?

How can I resist sexual temptation?

How can I find my balance between the spiritual world and the secular world? Is there a balance? Is it all or nothing?

How can I strive to be genuinely happy for others, when I want the things they have?

How can I NOT be envious but instead celebrate peoples best accomplishments?

How can I forgive my parents? How can I FORGIVE myself?

How can I forgive other family members?

How can I stand up for myself in intimate relationships?

How can I feel comfortable saying “NO”?

How can I break the connection between sex and emotions? Sex does NOT = LOVE so how can I stop equating one with the other?

How can I stop feeling rejected after a bad date or no dates at all?

How can I be consistently happy with just the “little things”?

How can I already be complete when I meet my mate instead of allowing them to “complete me”? What can I do to further spark my creativity?

How can I be comfortable in my path in life? No comparing, no contrasting- just true acceptance of who I am? So somebody tell me, How Can I?

    By loving yourself. And if you can’t love yourself, then love something else. Keep loving it and let it’s feeling flood you, and you would find that when you gaze upon yourself, you are looking at yourself with eyes that have been trained to love, and so they do.

    Love yourself. Everything else is secondary.

    Wonderfully raw, honest and vulnerable. Admire a writer that isn’t afraid to write outside the comfort zone. xxo
