Self-Love

This idea - that the love for oneself equals one’s capacity to love others - keeps coming up.

So, a little experiment - A Love Letter to Myself, 10 things I Love about Me
It started off pretty well.  My darling Self.. then, like a blank stare, there was nothing.  It was as if, I’m not wired to think that way.  Turned out to be quite a challenge, had to dig really deep.  Even after coming up with something, it seemed far-away.  Like making up some distant ideas, just to finish and not think about this anymore!
But there’s another part, that can’t stop thinking about it.  We all know that kind and loving thoughts create a frequency of harmony and healing.  So wouldn’t we want to create harmony within ourselves, above all places?  Why is it so difficult?
This whole self-love thing, appears to be no joke!  It just may be our life’s work.  It will definitely require a rewiring of sorts; new thoughts, ideas and attitudes about the self.  A new way of seeing things – a new way of being? 

*Perhaps what we love about others, is actually a reflection of what we love about ourselves.  If this view was accepted, realized and experienced, I wonder what the results might be.
