Foes are our best friends. When you are working on returning to self-love, something a little unusual will happen to you. You are suddenly going to realize that your foes – those supposed enemies – on a soul level are really your best friends. Now, these people are the ones who separate you from your feelings of self-love. Foes kept you from feeling valuable – that you mattered and that you were good enough. Foes are your best friend. They…..
When you are working on returning to self-love, you are going to discover something quite tremendous. You have the power to change yourself. Now, most of us have been taught that people don’t change. But in truth, if you are willing to do the inner work, you can change yourself. I recently was talking to someone who had not been a good father. When I said do it now, they said it is too late. If you still have breath…..
When you are working on returning to self-love, there is going to come to a point when you realize that every decision you have ever made and will ever make is coming from you. All decisions are yours. You can no longer blame other people for making you do something you didn’t want to do. You can no longer blame people for forcing you to move forward in a direction you don’t choose to go. Every decision you made in…..
When working on returning to self-love, you are going to have to learn to be kind to yourself. You are going to be healing wounds and changing negative beliefs. And along the way, you are going to make mistakes. When changing a negative belief, it is going to take time to lock in this new belief and have your behavior follow that new belief. So, you are going to have to practice kindness with yourself. You are going to have…..
When working on returning to self-love, you will have to learn to accept yourself. I was recently talking with a group of people- transgender people about the need for acceptance. This group said they don’t feel accepted by other people. I had to remind them that acceptance starts within. It does not matter if others accept you. Because their lack of willingness to accept other people is a sign of them, in truth, lacking in self-love To learn to accept…..
When working on finding your self-love, you will have to look at how you receive compliments or unexpected blessings. It will tell you a lot about where you are on your journey. Unexpected blessings I had a friend who I gave some New Year’s gifts from the dollar store. They literally cost me a dollar. I filled a bag full of them just to say thanks for being in my life. When my friend saw the bag, she seemed –…..
It is essential to be kind to yourself, especially during tough times. The saying that relationships are determined during tough times is true. However, the rough times also show your relationship with yourself as well. Are you kind to yourself or compassionate with yourself? Are you gentle or nourishing with yourself during tough times and difficult times? Being kind to yourself during difficult times makes those a bit easier to deal with – and actually makes those horrible times…..
Story of a loving heart A loving heart for Thanksgiving. This week’s inspiration is a story about how a teacher impacted her student’s life. She asked everyone to draw pictures of what Thanksgiving means to each. She figured each would draw a turkey or potato, or pumpkin pie. However, one little boy did something different. He was her sad little boy, rarely going out to play and always standing beside her. He had such lonely eyes. The teacher could only…..
We are now entering the holiday season for many of us. Perhaps it is time to do holidays differently since they consistently do two things. They stress out – with all the planning, shopping, cooking, traveling, and trying to keep everyone happy, which is frankly impossible, yet we try. They stress us out. We allow people to step over our boundaries. I don’t care how strong you are – you will end up doing something you really don’t want to…..
You Make Decisions For Yourself. When you are working on returning to self-love, there will come the point when you understand that you cannot decide for another person. Most of us like to give our opinion or judgment o what people should be doing. But if you are in self-love, you know you have no right to tell someone what to do. It is their decsion.
