Self love gone wrong

Self love is very vital in one's life.  It is the core reason for confidence and maturity.

In today's world, people have discovered that self love is important and are using it, however, others are using it wrongly.
Promoting:
  • self gain
  • Ignoring other people's needs
  • Pride
  • Unforgiveness
  • loss of relationships 
Self gain
In the name of self love, so many people have become selfish, ignoring how many individuals might get hurt in the process. They do what they feel is right for themselves, all in the name of "self love".
A lot of lives' happiness have been stepped on, orphans who once had a place to lay their heads on, have been robbed of their shelter, all in the name of "self love".

Ignoring other people's needs
You have a good amount of money in your pocket, a person in need of urgent help,  approaches you and asks for help,  but because you want to use that money for a chill or your hair or something to make yourself feel happy, you say " I am sorry but,  I don't have money at the moment,  I wish I could help. "
You latter comfort yourself and say, " I won't sacrifice my happiness for anything,  self love is very important,  even the scripture says so."
A lot of youths have been deprived of education,  all in the name of self love. 

Pride
Self love has built pride, a lot of individuals cannot take responsibility of their wrong doings, they prefer walking away in the name of " I love myself, I am me and nobody can change me." failing to swallow the truth.

Unforgiveness
Others think, not forgiving and avoiding the ones that hurt them, is a way to self love. 

Loss of relationships 
A lot of relationships have been broken,  people just don't care about other people's emotions, to save themselves from facing the truth or trying to resolve problems,  they end up hurting others and breaking relationships. 

Well listen 
If it hurts the people around you,  it is not self love,  it is cruelty
We all need each other because we only have one another. 
Self love is the act of loving yourself,  doing things that will build you and taking care of yourself. The reason for it is that,  you cannot love others if you don't love yourself,  it comes from within,  then to the world. 
Avoiding pain is not self love,  it is weakness in disguise. 
Cheating and lieng is not at all self love
 ,  It is Hippocratic.

5 top productivity tips

What is productivity?  In professional terms,  productivity is output measured by input.  Meaning,  the results will be measured by the amount of work put in.  The definition explains more than enough. You will agree with me when I say that,  being productive can be difficult. Many times we find ourselves complaining about how we haven't achieved anything in a day or even a month because we weren't more productive. You need to come up with strategies to become productive effectively, you need to step out of your comfort zone and make the most of your time.  1. Set goals daily This might not sound ideal because most people prefer having a plan in their heads and just going for it randomly without any order.  You need to understand that you are only human filled with a lot of thoughts and things to do. As soon as you talk to three to four people you will have forgotten about the plans that you kept in your head, therefore it is significant that you...

A letter to my fellow youths

Dear youth It is not a must that for you to be considered,  you need to have the best clothes,  information about what's trending, new designer clothes and so on.  Some people have less to show and some have more but still don't show it at all.  It is important that we recognize  our position and still make the best out of it and show it off.  Showing what you have is so important,  some people think its bragging,  but it isn't..  It is a way of sharing, it is a way of enlightening one another,  encouraging one another to do more or work extra hard,  it is motivation in disguise.  About me I have less to show, I don't have my own house or car,  I have a few clothes,  I don't earn a salary every month, I do follow up some celebrities but have less information about them. But I still make the best out of what I have and show it off for everyone to see.  I don't wait  to have more , for me to s...
