I read a lot about changing, becoming a better person, becoming a person befitting of the life you desire and the dream in your heart. I even once read a book in which stanley told john,"be yourself" and john replied," what if me is not good enough?" I saw so much sense in that at the time. If you weren't good enough, then change who you are.
Needless to say, my efforts to change failed woefully, time and time again. I felt like I was making progress at a snails speed, going two steps forward and one step backward. I felt like I just didn't have what it takes. In my despair, I stumbled upon the missing ingredient to lasting change in your life. It is acceptance.
Yes, acceptance. True change begins from accepting yourself fully, totally, strengths, faults and all. Change begins from being around people who accept you now as you are and always will, no matter what.
When you accept yourself, your love of yourself is not based on anything, it isn't conditional. This then springs up a sort of confidence that helps you face everything in your life objectively. Knowing that your value doesn't stem from your changing something or the other in your life. You are who you are, you are who God created you to be and you are fine and comfortable with being yourself.
Acceptance aids change. When you have the mindset that you don't have to be different to be special or appreciated, it removes all the pressure of change and then change truly begins to occur.
God didn't make a mistake creating you the way you are. You are special, loved and chosen even now. Accept yourself because God accepts you and keep away from people who do not accept you. Keep in mind though that constructive criticism doesn't mean you are not accepted so when keeping away, be careful the criteria's you use to judge who doesn't accept you. Remember also to always look into your mirror and remind yourself how you accept yourself, kiss yourself, hug yourself.
Love always,
Danny mato.

My New Liking for T-boys

T-boys ( short for tomboys) have recently begun to steal a portion of my heart! That rugged masculinity mixed intricately with femininity blends so well that I am amazed!! There is that sexiness and appeal to it all!
I for one love to go with the T-boy look on some occasions and I have met a lot of ladies who do that too, and yet, there are some ladies who adopt it as a constant look. I spoke to some of these ladies and it was interesting some of the answers I got!!
When I asked one constant T-boy why she was a T-boy, she answered me by asking me why I was a girly girl!! (Laughing) typical Nigerian, won't you say, answering questions with questions! Another T-boy in reply to the same question, told me she had tried several times to be a girly girl but that it was just too hard for her.
I am of the opinion however that everyone should be who they choose to be! The people they date and their families love them and I think they are sexy in their way too. What do you think??

Check This Out!

DANGOTE loved to eat BLACKBERRY but his CUSSONS, as DELL would spell it, went for PEARS instead. NOKIA though scarce in DELTA, his CUSSONS decided to go for the MAGIC MOMENT in the SUNLIGHT of Nigerian IDOLE where they formed a BLUE BAND after a toss of the GOLDEN PENNY. Turns out SAMSUNG too was there with his ACER as a BONUX added to the prize written with BIC. 'CLOSE UP!' Shouted the anchor, Mr LG, as he got ready to announce the FIVE ALIVE at the PEAK of the show.............Dannymato! what do you think about this?

Loving yourself

Hi darlings!! Its been such a long time! I really missed every single one of you! I even got a little confused of what I wanted the main content of this blog to be!
Today, we are a few days from entering the fifth month of the year! That's awesome but a lot of people havn't achieved even one single goal on their list. Some people feel depressed and unloved and unworthy and uncapable, if you're one of these people, I just wanna tell you that your love for yourself overshadows by far other peoples love for you put together!
In fact, when you love yourself, people tend to be attracted to you, and when people are drawn to you, opportunities are drawn to you, opportunities which may even eventually help you achieve your goals. Sure we've heard so much about the benefits of loving yourself and all that, but how do you love yourself? What's the practical way of loving yourself??
HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF
Loving yourself may just be that you take time to rest, that you don't walk about all stressed out with bags under your eyes.
Loving yourself is that you care enough about the sort of clothes that you adorn your skin with. That you care enough to ensure that their neat and sharp looking.
Loving yourself means that you look your best no matter what, not because of other people, but for you.
Loving yourself means that you constantly look for the humour in things around you, even work. It means that you don't starve the world of that sweet smile and laughter of yours.
Loving yourself means that you tell yourself several times a day, no matter how many times you remember that you love yourself. Loving yourself turns you into a lover of yourself.
Loving yourself means never being hard on yourself, but laughing at your mistakes and trying again. It means complimenting yourself for even little achievements.
Loving yourself means eating right, not starving yourself.
Loving yourself means so many things and I'm sure if you start practicing the few here, there will be a remarkable change in your life!!
All my love,
Danny mato

Happy Mother's Day!

I've got the best mum in the world!! I never really gave this fact
much thought until today. After calling my mum and speaking to her, I
did a little task, I wrote out the things I love about my mum and
though its an endless list, this few stood out.
THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY MUM
She's beautiful, very good looking. She's a great conversationalist.
She's very smart. She's a good illustrator. She's very funny. She
loves me. She's a strong woman. She's a fighter. She's always there
for me. No matter what, she makes sure that I have. In the end, she's
always got my back.
These are just few of the many reasons why I love my mum, not like I
need a reason to love her, she's loved no matter what.
I have a feeling you feel the same way too, so make your own list and
tell me about it.
And mom, incase you see this, you're the best mum in the world and I
really appreciate all you've done for me. I love you mum!
Happy Mother's Day to you all!!
All my love,
Danny Mato

Commenting

Hello darlings! How have you been all this while? I really missed you
all! I have a series of exams coming up soon so I won't be posting
regularly until May 2013 by His grace.
I'm writing today cause of a trend that concerns me, dolls. A lot of
darlings read my post but. Very few bother to comment, why? I was
wondering if its because you don't seem to understand the value of
commenting on a post.
Commenting on a post is really important, it doesn't necessarily
have to be lengthy, it could just be a thanks, or yes I agree. Your
comments give the author inspiration, to know that you are there, that
he or she isn't just writing to himself or herself but that people out
there are reading what is being written and either appreciating or
criticizing it.
A post is to be engaging, when you study it, a lot of ideas should
rattle in your brain, you might have questions, suggestions or
testimonies that you wish to share. Don't let the author feel he's on
an island in the middle of no where, let him know that you are there
with him.
And darlings, am not a guy.
Do have a lovly day, and start commenting away!
All my love,
Danny Mato
