Do You Love Yourself?
So, do you love yourself?
Shouldn't really be a difficult question to answer should it?
For many people this question makes them feel more than a little
uncomfortable. In fact, if you've suddenly become short of
breath and your palms have gone a little sweaty, then you should
definitely continue reading this article!
A mad passionate love affair!
Have you ever considered what it would be like to have a mad
passionate love affair with yourself? And I'm not talking about
a one night stand here either! I'm talking about a beautiful,
blossoming, burgeoning romance. The kind of romance where your
love, understanding and compassion for yourself deepens on a
daily basis, over a lifetime. Have you any idea what sort of
impact that would have on your experience of life?
All love begins with self-love.
Often we start looking for love in all the wrong places. For
some reason many of us believe that love actually resides
outside of us, when really it resides within us. If as a
starting point, you make the decision to love and accept every
aspect of yourself, the good, the bad and the ugly; you will
find that love will naturally begin gravitating towards you. Not
only that, you will begin to see love and beauty in all things.
Radical new dating service!
I'm so passionate about this whole self-love stuff, I'm actually
considering setting up a radical new dating website around the
concept. Here's how it will work. You jump online, go through an
extended questionnaire where you list everything there is to
know about yourself. The information entered will then get
processed by the world's most sophisticated internet dating
match making software. Before it actual spits out your perfect
match, you will be asked one final question. 'Are you prepared
to love, respect and cherish this individual for the rest of
your days, regardless of circumstance?'
If you answer yes, it will announce that you are now ready to
meet your true love (drum roll). A virtual door will then slide
open and standing on the side will be the most stunningly
beautiful human being you have ever laid eyes upon in your
lifetime. You!
Your outer world mirrors your inner world.
Let's think about this for a minute. If you want others to love
you (which deep down I really believe we all do), you absolutely
must love yourself first! How can you expect someone else to
love you if you won't love you? It's complete madness!
The time has come to become your own secret admirer. Go out of
your way to really make a lasting impression upon yourself. Blow
a couple of kisses, buy some flowers and turn on the charm.
Indulge yourself with the things that make you feel amazing.
Adore your body, nourish your mind and cherish your soul.
If you keep up these sort of antics, before too long I have not
doubt that you will come to the unmistakable conclusion that
you're a 'bit-of-all-right'!
