When I have dimmed my light for another, it did not add light to the other. When I have surrendered my light to fear, it did not make me safer. When I have denied my light to fit in, I never felt more alone. Then SELF-LOVE showed me a better way. When I have allowed my light to shine unimpeded, it always touched those that needed it. When…..
When you walk through the world with your past wounds driving the train, your only destination is surviving. When you pack your bags for your trip with all your grievances and anger, you have just bought a ticket to struggle. When you refuse to notice the beautiful landscape passing you by, you have already arrived at the end of the journey with nothing to show for it. But… When you take responsibility and heal your…..
To move into SELF-LOVE, you must let go of all old anger and hatreds. To continue carrying around anger and hatred is the ultimate act of self-sabotage. Just like an electrical storm, nothing will shorten out the hearts’ ability to love and receive love quicker than holding onto these destructive energies. Instead of being satisfied with a momentary sense of power that anger can produce, take your full power back from these toxic energies by healing those old wounds. Be…..
As you are working on healing and returning to SELF-LOVE, you are going to have periods that you doubt the work. Hey, I thought I healed that so why am I still drawing that same energy in my life? Because healing is done in layers. No one heals wounds that they have been carrying for twenty, thirty, or many more years quickly. It takes time and diligence, and patience. It is easy to believe you have done your work because…..
When you begin the work of reclaiming SELF-LOVE, you naturally begin to understand how your world is created: IMAGINATION combined with EMOTION creates WORLDS. Do you use your gift of imagination to create more fear or more love? What kind of world are you creating? Do you imagine the worst-case scenario fueling it with dread and fear? Do you imagine that people are out to get you boosting it with hatred and distrust? Do you imagine never living your dreams feeding it…..
When your being is rooted in SELF-LOVE, you no longer look for others’ approval or confirmation of what is or is not possible. You trust yourself as the ultimate authority of what is possible for you. Many people spout limiting beliefs as if they are universal truths when in fact they are simply ideas whose validity have gone unchallenged. Beliefs can be like rocks tying you down or like balloons lifting you higher. …..
Why do we listen to our heads and not our hearts? Why do so few allow their hearts to be the compass they were meant to be? Why do so many see the heart as weak or untrustworthy? Deep within your heart is a remembrance that you are cherished, valued, and loved. Your heart knows there is nothing in your makeup that is wrong or unlovable. Your heart knows your dreams and hopes and has kept them safe…..
The path back to self-love must be taken alone. Only you know where you lost your way in the darkness. Only you know where the bumps in the road changed your direction. Only you know where fear became your compass. Only you know where you decided you were not equipped for the journey. Only you know where you lost you! So be brave and return to that place on the road…..
KINDNESS is not for the faint of heart. KINDNESS is for the strong hearted. It takes strength to offer a hand rather than judgment. It takes strength to look into a stranger’s eyes and see a friend. It takes strength to see beauty where others only see ugliness. It takes strength to listen rather than turning away. It takes strength to speak softly when all others are shouting. It takes strength to offer love…..
When you feel like you are hitting a wall in your life, you need to remember the wall is inside of you. Nothing on the outside is conspiring against you. You created that wall and therefore, you are the only one who can tear it down. Maybe the wall served a purpose in the past making you feel safe or protected. But now that safe wall feels more like a prison. LOVE YOURSELF and break down your walls. You have no…..
