Inspiration & God said “Love Your Enemy” and I obeyed him & Loved myself. Khalil Gibran. Search for Self Love By: Zahra Said As I begin this piece, I can’t help but realise my personal battle of procrastination. As I reflect on the time I was given to research and write, there lies the blatant fact that I have waited until the very last minute. Is this the pace at which my new year is going to unravel? Well I certainly hope not, especially since I have made a very strong intention for 2016, which is to learn and adapt discipline into my daily life. It has taken me some time (a few years to be precise) since I have begun my journey of self-discovery, to be able to identify where I fall short. Hence my opening statement with regards to procrastination. Although being able to only identify this ‘poor characteristic’ which is ultimately detrimental to my vision, isn’t helping my cause. Hmmm, a cause you ask? What is it she speaks of? I am happy to share that I am on a journey of self love. The benefit of this journey is that I get to create the very best version of myself and I am sincerely enjoying every step of the way.
