When you love yourself, be deliberate and tender. You are uniquely you and no one can be a better you. You are God’s gift to the world; His masterpiece.
When you look at yourself, say those same sweet things to you that you’d say to the person you love. Be unconditional while at it. Invest in your whole being; tend to your physical body, your mind, your soul purposefully.
Invest in your dreams; they are valid.
Forgive your failures and celebrate your triumphs. No one fails on a path never trodden. You came, you did, you gave, you failed, you lost; it’s called living… You’ve lived. You were born to be real not to be perfect.
Embrace your scars because therein your stories live; they are simply a warriors beauty marks; the victor’s decor.
When you embrace yourself touch lightly and soothe the hurt that only your soul can comprehend; because you alone have felt it’s magnitude.
Look at you and love within; look into the past and look at the present and see that all roads and encounters have led to this moment and today is subject to tomorrow; the sun will rise. When it does, be sure to embrace the day – live, love, laugh through it.
And when you love yourself tenderly, you will know when you’re being truly loved by someone else. I hope you will know to accept and receive the love when you see it. Because it is your first nature to give out; it’s okay to receive from what the universe gives that is good. After all, love is best when it is shared.
Showers of blessings.
