There is no greater power than love! Love has the ability to heal the world. Love is pure and decent, innocent and true.
When the energy of love takes hold of you,It has the capacity to heal old wounds and cleanse you of any negativity that does not serve you.
As stated in Corinthians 13:13, "Three things will last forever -- faith, hope and love -- and the greatest of these is love."
Love can take many forms. There is love we feel for our family, a child and a friend, as well as the love we feel for our pets. There is the in love feeling we feel towards a beloved.
Then, there is love that is referred to as self-love, meaning the love of self. Why is it so hard to love ourselves as we are? Why do we seek validation, acceptance, recognition and acknowledgement from others? The truth is that we are seeking love outside of ourselves. We are putting those outside of ourselves responsible for us loving ourselves.
WHY THERE IS NO GENUINE LOVE
At times, we don't realize that we are seeking love from others in the form of approval. Sometimes we believe our actions and behaviors are coming from a true place, but sometimes they come with an agenda of seeking love.
This is not a bad thing. It is human nature to seek approval and love outside of ourselves.
The key is to be aware that we are seeking love outside of ourselves.
Once we are aware, we can start to look inside of ourselves and cultivate love and acceptance of ourselves.
In my work with clients who came to see me for a make-up and cosmetic, the common thing that I have found that most people lack is self-love. The concept of self-love has been used by so many to describe loving yourself. What exactly is it? What will having it mean for our lives?
WHAT IS SELF LOVE?
Self-love at its core is self-acceptance of who you are just as you are, the good and not-so-good parts of yourself. It's about self-respect and self-empowerment. It's about self-care and looking after yourself and having compassion for yourself when you are going through a hard time. It's about honoring your heart's desires and being true to yourself. It's about knowing deep down that you matter and that you are enough as you are. You have nothing to prove, and you just need to be yourself and give of yourself to others.
Imagine a world where people just loved themselves for who they are. It would be a world full of people resonating love from their hearts, and their state of being would be love.
Imagine this energy of love where people were kind to each other and touched each other with their hearts, their words, with their eyes and their generosity of spirit.
