Self-Love Is Not About This

Have you forgotten yourself? Have you abandoned yourself? If you have, you are not alone.

But you can reconnect with your life. You can be with yourself again. You can make your life matter again.

To do that, you have got to love everything about your life. Everything starts with self-love, but it doesn’t end there.

Because self-love is your foundation. It is your pillar. If you are okay with yourself, you will be okay with other people. But it doesn’t mean that everything is going to be perfect, that you are not going to face challenges.

That is not the point. The point is that things are going to happen. Some you can take care of. Others you are going to need other people to help you out.

But when you are in love with who you are, you can face anything. You can put yourself together, no matter what.

You can love yourself, no matter what is going on in your life. When in doubt, remember that self-love is not about being perfect.

Self-love is about being comfortable with your imperfections. It is about being okay with who you are. It is being alive. It is about loving yourself, whether things are going well with you, or you are just getting by.

It is about having the courage to be with yourself, to see the world around you in a new way.

Self-love is about knowing that other people are different, that they are going to act in different ways, that you are going to accept them, no matter what.

Self-love is not about self-abuse. It is about self-respect. It is about self-care.

It is not about being arrogant. It is not about being who you are not. It is not about thinking you are better than other people.

Self-love is your inner voice that is always there for you, especially when things are tough.

Self-love is about allowing yourself to fail, to make mistakes.

Self-love is about having the courage to do what you love, not what people want you to do.

Self-love is about enjoying the little things around you. It is being in the moment. It is about making your moments count.

So if you want to stay in love with yourself, you must work really hard to keep loving yourself.

As always, you are more, not less!

Living Your Life Means…

If you are living your life, you have nothing to worry about. But if you are not living your real life, if you are trying to fit in, if you are trying to be who you are not, if you are telling yourself lies, if you do not have the courage to express your authentic Self, you have everything to worry about.

Why is that? Because authenticity builds life. Lies destroy lives. When you are real, when you don’t fake your life, you are in a better position in your life. And you are in a better position to face what is coming, what you do not yet know.

Living your life means you are just you. You are not scared to express who you are. You are comfortable with yourself.

You are not living your life if you are still hiding your real self, if you are still thinking about what other people are thinking about you, if you do not have the courage to ask for what you want and need.

You are not. You are living your life when you are free to show the world who you really are, what you can do to change the world, when you are not afraid to speak your mind, when you are not pretending to be who you are not, when you are comfortable with yourself, when you are comfortable talking about your weaknesses, when you take your life seriously, and when you are who you are, no matter where you are.

Living your life means doing what other people are afraid to do. It means you are living your real life, not faking anything. Living your real life mean you know what you do not know. It means you are willing to make things better, no matter what.

In order to do it really well, to live your real life, you have got to believe in yourself. You have got to have a solid foundation. You have got to love your life, no matter what is going on within you. Because self-love is everything. When you love yourself, you can bear anything in life. You can handle anything in life.

The question is, ‘Do you have the courage to live your life?’
