Have you ever wondered how popcorn pops?
The heat from the microwave or stove cooks the inside until it pops open, right? YES, but let’s really look at what happens!
There is this little drop of water inside every kernel. The heat basically makes it come to a boil, the evaporation needs a place to go, and then pop! The kernel of corn turns into popcorn.
There is a chain of events that have to happen before it just becomes some delicious snack. Yes, the concept of putting heat to some corn and it turns to popcorn is right, but without that little drop of water….it burns and nothing magical happens.
That little drop of water has to be your love for yourself! It has to be the faith you have in yourself every single day. Without that love and faith in yourself, you’ll burn up. The heat, the pressure, the bills, the selfdoubt…. will burn you up. Sometimes the love and faith in ourselves is missing so we feel depressed and overwhelmed.
Without those things, we miss out on so much because we are thinking about all the negative around us. Your life is so much more than the negatives. I understand that bills add up and have to be paid. I get those bad things happen to us and it’s okay to not be okay. What is not okay, is when you lose the faith that you will eventually pay those bills off and that good things are coming. It’s not okay to not love yourself and believe that what you have to offer this world is much more than the negative that happens. Because when you don’t have those, you miss out on the best part…The POP!
I read self-reminders every single day that tell give me the importance of who I am and the amazing things I have to offer. They are simply in my notes on my phone. I’ve seen sticky notes on the mirror in the bathroom, I’ve seen little notes randomly placed through the house or a car, and I’ve even seen reminders tattooed on skin.
Whatever you need to hear and where ever you need to put them, post some reminders.
Remind yourself daily of how amazing you are, the worth you have, and that eventually that magical pop is coming! Don’t miss out on it!
If no one has told you lately that you’re loved, you’re enough, and that the magical pop is coming so hold on just a little longer……..well I’m telling you that now!
Until next time!
