Love is Everything
When it comes to Love, have you ever questioned how much of our energy we put into convincing other people of our self-worth? It’s so easy to want to get people to like us. It’s validating when they do. However, it can hurt when our efforts pay no return. Are you familiar with this life strategy?
This is a common theme for many. “We hurt our own feelings by thinking we mean more to people than we really do”. Such disappointment! How in the world did our thinking arrive at such a conclusion to act this way towards ourselves?
It’s in our culture, it’s in our family lineages, in our belief institutions to put our energy out towards others first. “Others are more important than ourselves.” But it is a set up really.
Begin by being your own friend and Ally first. Unless we begin to come inward and find out who we really are, we will be slaves to the dynamic of putting others first, and wanting something badly in return. The love we think we want isn’t’ “out there.” It’s living inside of you. You only need to find and discover this internally to stop hurting yourself. Mindfulness is a good place to start. Moving toward restoration of mind, body and spiritual alignment is grounding and fulfilling.
Now I am not saying that we shouldn’t care about each other. We are all part of the interconnected web of life. But we can’t afford to neglect ourselves at the expense of others. It does us no good to demand from others what we won’t do for ourselves. Fill your wine glass right up. Take in pleasure and nourishment. Love yourself enough to welcome joy into your heart. Clear away the cobwebs and discover your own true nature and the rest of that flow has a bridge to stream out and from to clear a path to connect with others in a healthy way.
We all have love within simply through Being Who we are.
I recognize the love of all humanity within each human being. Even if it’s not always clear. The more I clear in myself though, the more clear I get in knowing this experientially in relationships. I only know this because I know myself. Get to know yourself too! Love is you!
With love,
