Self-help books are full of this advice – “Love yourself”. Friends, have you ever wondered why, why should you love yourself. I used to ask ‘what is so special about me’ that I am supposed to love myself? No, I did not suffer from ‘I am not lovable’ or ‘I am not good enough’ syndromes, still I, or rather my logical mind, could not accept to loving myself. So, friends, let me make it easier for you to understand why you need to love yourself. There is no option ! If you wish for a happy and successful life you must fall in love with yourself. Yes, you must !
Before going into the ‘Why’ let me tell you a little about the love I am talking about. Love is the unseen essence of our creation. It is omnipresent but, paradoxically we go about our lives completely unaware of its magical presence.
Now we come to the question ‘why love yourself’. If you do not or cannot love yourself you would not be able to genuinely love anyone or anything, and worst of all, others would not feel that loving attraction for you. You see, the Source is within YOU ! If you don’t feel happy, no one can make you happy. If you don’t feel gratitude within your own heart, nothing can make you feel grateful. Everything starts from within you.
Why do you think happiness and love seem so illusive ? Well, actually they are not illusive. You are looking at wrong places. They are not out there, nothing is out there. It is an illusion. Bring back your focus to yourself and you will find them there, and, what better way to do that than fall in love with yourself ?
In short, love’s presence in your life will keep you unconditionally happy. It would make life effortless. When you feel love, you are vibrating at the frequency of love which aligns you to your True Self, which, in turn, ensures nothing would be impossible for you!
I encourage you to practice seeing, sensing, perceiving the world through a lens of love and see what happens.
Very true! We have to Love ourselves and let the love within us overflow.
As always your Blogs show us the path. Thanks.
