Why do we sell ourselves short so willingly?

Why do we sell ourselves short so willingly?  It so easy to believe it when someone criticizes you, or say something bad about you. It’s so easy to tell yourself that it doesn’t just go like that in your home, life, relationship… WHY are we comparing our life’s to other peoples?   AND when we compare, WHY ON EARTH do we compare it to people who are in the same boat at rougher sea’s?
I’ll tell you why… because we’d all like to believe our lives are not so bad. There will always be someone who’s relationship is worse than yours, there will be someone fatter than you, someone with less, just because your husband or boyfriend doesn’t necessarily hit you, doesn’t mean what he is doing isn’t another form of abuse.
This blog may seem a bit feminist, but I’d like to get a couple of things off of my chest… We deserve to be loved, to be spoilt, to be given a chance to excel, and what do we do?  We stand back so the men in our lives can excel, can become a big shot at his work, can go out and do what they want, when they want. We go out of our way to be nice, arrange things, to make them feel better. . .
We DESERVE better, no matter who says what! We deseve to get flowers at least once a month! We deserve to be loved, and appreciated.  We deserve a chance to excel in our job’s or whatever we want to excel in. We deserve to be told that we are beautiful EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Why do we think we don’t deserve these things? OR why are we okay if we don’t get it? Think, take a minute and really think. . . . . . . . .
What did you do for your man today? Did he appreciate it, or expect it?
How was the good bye you got this morning?
It shouldn’t be like most of you answered!  Every morning you should say good bye like you are never going to see each other again, because you don’t know if you are going to make it home that night.
We are not always innocent, I know, we also do bad and wrong things sometimes, but making a list, we as women sell ourselves short so often…EVERY SINGLE DAY OF OUR LIVES!
Today do something for you!
Know your worth, because you are worth more than your weight in gold and diamonds!
