I love myself because…

Last month, we had asked our Dream Centre girls to brainstorm why they need to love themselves. The objective was to make them feel positive and optimist about themselves. They brainstormed and wrote a paragraph each; and those paragraphs have surprised us with revelation of immense strengths they have for which they deserve love, affection and motivation.  

Want to know what attributes they have to be loved, first by self and by others?

1.       Nisha Rajdhami: I love myself because no one can love me unless I do. I know that I need to be psychologically strong and confident to become friendly among friends. I don't get tempered with friends, love younger people and respect elders – and that make me lovable. I can't achieve my goal (0f being a doctor) unless I love and believe in myself.

2.       Asmita Tamang: I love myself because I am lucky to get admitted in a school and also at the Dream Centre. I have learnt many things about my life here, including the goal, source of happiness etc. I love myself because I have a definite goal for my life. Also I love me because I am helpful toward my friends and they too help me.

3.       Anjila Napit: I love myself for the good habits I have. I like to help everyone. I support my mom in domestic chores, my friends and sister in study, my brother to fetch water from well. I am punctual, obedient and fast in learning. I respect the elders and love the younger ones. Also I love myself because I have been improving my score in the class.

4.       Sajita Chaulagain: I love myself because I am punctual and obedient, I help my parents in kitchen, and I am confident that I achieve my goal.

5.       Mandira Dangol: I love myself because I am helpful, I feel happiest when I can solve some problems of my friends.  I help my mom in domestic chores. I think everyone is equal; thus I am friendly with everyone. Being friendly also enables me to achieve my goals more easily.

6.       Sonu Shrestha: I love myself because I know my goal in life (to be a good teacher) and I am following the right path for that with hard work in study. I also have some good habits like helping my friends, respecting people, caring and not being short tempered.

7.       Sirjana Gurung: I love myself simply because I deserve it as a human being equal to everyone else. I am hard working and punctual which are necessary for me to be a nurse in future. I am confident that I will be a good nurse one day.

8.       Sumitra Sunuwar: I love myself because I think I am nice; for I am friendly with my friends, polite with my neighbours, and obedient in my family. I have my parents, elder siblings, teachers and friends who love me so much.

9.       Nitu Rana Magar: I love myself because I believe I am a nice person among many in this world. I am good in solving many problems that arise in my family and among friends. I can dance and act well. I am lucky to find an opportunity to study well and helping hands to help me there. I am helpful, cooperative and hard working.

10.   Priyanka Kumari Jaiswal: I love myself because I am cooperative, respectful, disciplined and willing to learn.  I am punctual as well.

11.   Sangita Magar: I love myself because I have some talents inside me and I don't feel shy to expose them. I wish to learn many new things. I am cooperative toward everyone. I am interested to solve many disputes in my neighbourhood, and I think we children too can suggest the elders about importance of cooperation.  My parents become happy when I can suggest something good to them and the neighbours; and their happiness further motivates me to be good.

12.   Meena Gurung: If I don't love myself, I cannot become friendly with my friends. Besides that, I cannot achieve my goal if I don't love and believe in myself. I love myself because I have very good friends.

13.   Sajina Deula: I love myself because I am respectful, caring, punctual, obedient, disciplined, helpful and good in sanitation.
