"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserves your love and affection" - BUDDHA
In our society we are taught that loving ourselves is vain and selfish. Therefore we reject any idea to do with loving ourselves because we do not want to be seen as vain, arrogant or selfish. I think that we have totally missed the mark of what self love is, and so are doing ourselves enormous amounts of damage by not loving ourselves in the pure, non vain, non selfish way, and this is how I think we can fix that damage, and become whole, happier people.
Values, morals and principles maketh the man. These are the core traits that make someone truly beautiful. These are the things that make you love another person and therefore these are the things that ultimately should make you love yourself. If you live your talk and live by your morals, values and principles, and you like the ones that you represent and that represent you, how can you do anything but love yourself for the person you are at a soul level? If you don't feel that you do love what you represent, then change what you represent and love yourself for the courage you have to see your flaws and be willing to change them. Be the person you dream to be. Being human is the most amazing gift and our ability to create the life of our dreams through our attitude and perspective is such a powerful tool. We ALL posses that, and that is certainly something to love and be proud of.
As we are not only made up of light, but both the light and the darkness, we have to learn to love and embrace our darkness to. In accepting the dark, we can allow the light to shine brighter. We have all made mistakes, but it is those mistakes which have taught us and molded us into who we are today, so how can we not love them. The same goes for hard experiences that we have had in our lives. They have shaped us, and continue to shape us and teach us.
Forgive and be free to love.
Each one of us is a miracle. We all have the same miracle within us that has created all life in the universe. When I think of that, it makes me tear up at the thought of how phenomenal each and every one of us are!
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." - RUMI
