According to self love empowerment manifester
Vanessa white
better known as OlanikeeOsi
People in general but
Particularly women
should love themselves by be more selfish and authentic.
Now I know what you’re probably thinking like
what ?
be more selfish ?
now You can see authentic but selfish!
Yea you all probably thinking I’m trippin right
So let’s just take a moment to define selfish.
Selfish is an adjective
it’s meaning is
of a person action or motive lacking consideration for others concern chiefly with one’s own personal profit or pleasure.
Me personally. I live a Egocentric lifestyle
which is kinda egotistical
right
But it took a while for me to get here.
to change my self perspective even some Of the perspectives I had on life
To selfishly love myself
Now I know your all thinking like
we can all be selfish at times
but egocentric
Sounds more like
conceit or jus being plain ole narcissistic…
but jus hear me out ok
It all started a few months ago 10 moths ago to be exact
I had been reading a lot of self help books and listening to a variety of podcast
So I decided I was going back to school to pursue my dreams of becoming a well respected actress.
But I had no high school diploma so
I utilize my resources and I found a awesome six-month high school diploma program which cost about $1200 over the six-month period and I aced it
Then I obtained my act235 certification So that I could work to provide for my family as an armed security officer
& lastly
I took the steps and enrolled in Ccp without procrastination.
Which was a selfish-act on my behalf indeed.
I STARTED LIVING MY LIFE ACCORDING TO A QUOTE FROM EARL NIGHTINGALE :
WE R ALL SELF MADE BUT ONLY THE SUCESSFUL WILL ADMIT IT.
That quote caused me to reevaluate my life and
begin to live less selflessly but more selfishly
You see I’m a mother of 4 daughters
I work two jobs
And
I didn’t care how my going back to school would effect
my jobs
my children and
to be honest I didn’t even know how I was going to Cover the expenses .
I told myself I got this
I would selfishly tell myself
its all gonna work itself out . I’m doing me by any
means necessary.
You see
Most of us are taught from a young age to always be consider of others to be empathetic all of that stuff
yet if I had done so I wouldn’t be standing here speaking in front of this class today.
All the content I had been engaged in suggested
saying daily affirmations
But
I didn’t know any affirmations and I wasn’t comfortable
making up my own at that point
so I searched out the hashtag affirmations on Instagram
which is how I came across OlanikeeOsi the owner and ceo founder of both Goddest Detox Inc and Selfishbabe podcast
Listening to the SELFISH podcast has empowered me to not feel guilty for being selfish
OlanikeeOsi gives advice on how to manifest the things u want into your life
In 2019 we have to learn to be more selfishly authentic within our every day lives
we have to put our feelings and our emotions before anything
we have to be more conscious of the people who are around us
& the energy they bring into our environment not to mention how the energy effects you
We have to manifest the things that we want into our lives by
Setting short term goals
then taking the steps to accomplishing them
by removing all negative self talk and meaningless conversations
Most importantly using daily affirmations
Because you have the power to Manifest The unforeseen
if you tell yourself you’re going to fail then you’re going to fail if you tell yourself you’re going to win
then nine times out of 10 you’re going to take the steps necessary to ensure that you do indeed win
As a child growing up when our parents gave us boundaries and told us to be considerate of the feelings of others
they never tell us how harsh and cold the world really is
SO WHEN U LEAVE HERE TODAY ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
everyone is not gonna be considerate of you or your feelings
so you have to protect your energy your space
You have to control your life
even if that means being selfish with your time, your company
