Many
of us believe that loving oneself is being selfish and therefore, we experience
a sense of guilt. Loving your own self doesn’t mean ignoring your imperfections
or being selfish — it doesn’t mean that you say, “I am perfect and don’t need
to change.” Loving yourself is not a selfish act. It does not imply that you
must ignore the needs of others. Nor does loving oneself need to involve doing
so with arrogance.
Self love means you pay attention to your feelings,
your perspective. You are fully aware of your own needs while recognizing the
needs of others.
If you don’t feel fulfilled within, how can you properly reach out and become deeply fulfilling to others? If you cannot love and respect yourself for the person you are how will others accept and love you? If I don’t enjoy my own company, how can I expect others to find me interesting? Ask: Could you live with yourself on a deserted island?
Self love means loving and accepting yourself the way you are, while acknowledging fully the changes that you need to make in your life. Recognize the areas in your life that needs improvement and enhance it.
It’s human to err, to make mistakes, to know defeat and to face failures. We grow from this. However, what is important is to not to indulge in self-blame but to accept what needs to change, while acknowledging and respecting what is good in you. Release the past and move on.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, what do you feel? What or who do you see? Can you look in the mirror and say, “I love you exactly the way you are?” Can you say, with conviction; “I love you, because I recognize that you are unique and wonderful?”
We often feel that forgiving and letting go is for others. We forget that when we hold on to the pain and the grief and hurt caused by others—and if don’t forgive — it is like holding hot coal in our hands, refusing to throw it.
Do you trust your abilities and know what is good, unique and wonderful in you? If your answer is in the affirmative, it means you are manifesting a life of your dreams. If negative, then you need to delve deeper into your mind and soul to find what is stopping you from living your dreams.
We talk about loving others and of doing things for others, but, if a part of you, somewhere deep down, is aching, frustrated and belittled, how can you do justice to others?
Reach within and find the real you; feel assured that you have great potential. Use it.
