Diamonds

This piece of writing is inspired by my beautiful mother. My first inspiration and the person who taught me to love the self before the world. This I believe is a classic example of self love, self belief and a lesson on being the best version of yourself and the strongest you could possibly be. Let me start off by sharing something that has always stayed with me. My mother always said that “My child, you are a diamond, no matter what people say, no matter what people think, don’t consider yourself to be less beautiful than anybody”. Everybody in life faces some kind of discrimination and very often people say things that demotivates us and affects us deeply, making us feel empty and hurt. I too faced a lot of discrimination for my dusky skin tone and I used to feel insecure about it. I never found the confidence to accept and love myself the way I am.

So, what should we do ?

The answer is “believe in yourself”

Believe that you are a diamond, each person should believe that he/she is a diamond and that you are no less beautiful than any gem. As a diamond remind yourself to learn to love yourself and hold your respect in order to be loved and to be worthy of love. We humans have all the qualities of a diamond – gentle, proud, strong, bright and charming. All we diamonds need is a little polishing in order to keep shining in life. A true diamond is the one that is strong and which can never be broken and nobody can dare to break it. Lets all aspire and take an oath to be the true diamonds that shine from within and be the light that people are inspired to be guided from.

The most important thing we forget sometimes is to love ourselves and believe in ourself. I have carried my mother’s words in my heart and this gives me the confidence to face the world, to stand still in any storm that I face or will face. I would like to know from my readers on what is the one thing that your mother has said that will always stay with you ! 🙂
