PRIORITIZING THE BEST - Elvira Jordan

Good Morning Beloved! 🧡

Even if I may not know you personally, you know that I love you dearly and I keep sending these morning messages because I care for you and I want the best for you.

But then, no matter how much I love you; no matter how much another may claim to love you, no one can truly love you more than you love yourself. No one can t make the best choices for you if not you, and no one can wish better for you than they wish themselves (except maybe your parents).

It is good to have a benevolent heart that wishes the best for others, but why will you relegate your own needs and wellbeing to please another? Why will you value another person’s happiness above yours?

As much as we all claim to reject the spirit of “people pleasing”, there are times when we just feel the need to make others happy which is very good, but not at the expense of our own happiness. No!

You deserve the best of everything and if life gives you the opportunity to choose today, you better choose wisely.

All that glitters is not good, that is why you have to be conscious of life’s choices today. Nevertheless, I urge you to choose the best, the shiniest and the most beautiful of things, before thinking about evaluating how authentic is the shine. YOU DESERVE THE BEST!

This time around, we are not mortgaging our wellbeing for any reason. We are not putting ourselves down so others can feel lifted. We are not depriving ourselves of what we love in the name of propriety. WE DESERVE THE BEST!

My message today is very simple and direct.

As we officially move into the first working week in June, remember that you deserve the best. Prepare your mindset for the best. Position yourself to attract the best. When there are many options, choose the best. Do all you can to hold onto the best.

YOU DESERVE THE BEST!

We are moving out of the era when we purposely hold on to things that do not serve us, places we don’t like and people we are only holding onto for convenience.

Ask yourself a question today. Is this the best that I can do? Is there something better for me? Am I happy with what I have?

If there’s even the slightest doubt in your mind, I want you to know that you deserve better.

Prioritize Yourself and Choose The Best.

Bible verse: James 1:17 (NIV)

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Prayer: Dear Lord, today I declare that I deserve the best of everything that life has to offer. May new doors be opened unto me and may heaven’s best gifts and treasures flow to me today. Amen.

Do have a Blessed Monday and a Successful Week ahead.

🧡🍀💜🌼💙🌹💚🌸❤️🌻🖤🍁🤍
