In his popular hit song, Bo Diddley asks the question, “Who
do you love?” Today, I’m going to
ask you the same question: Who do “YOU” love? Now I’m going to give you
the right answer: “You.” You must love yourself
first to achieve the joy, inner peace and happiness in your life.
Don’t think it’s selfish to love yourself. In
truth, we cannot love anyone else without first feeling that same love for
self. It also holds true for if
you do not honor and respect yourself, you cannot give those characteristic
traits and benefits to others.
When we are in balance and in harmony with the Universal
Force, the Creator, we are love. Do you realize that we are born of love and
one day we all will return to this love?
The only question we will have to respond to is: “Have we loved with
a kind heart?” There is great power in love and when we expend
loving energy to others, we have the power to shift their energy in a positive
way. I have experienced on
numerous occasions in my life the power of sending love energy to those who
have been difficult, angry and resentful and also down right mean and I have
seen how those negative people shifted and become tolerable and even agreeable.
All I did was send concentrated intentions of love to the person and I sent the
intention to shower them in loving energy. Never underestimate the power of
‘love’ energy. “Nothing beats love, love is the greatest healing
power there is, and nothing else comes close. Not ancient cures, modern medicines and technologies, or all
the interesting books we read or the wise things we say and think. Love has a transformational power.”-- Naomi
Judd
Many people including some of my family members have laughed
at me as I discussed the value of self-love and it power. I speak to my body and let it know that
I love it and am grateful that I have the body that has treated me well through
good health, nice skin, good looks and on and on. All those who have laughed at me have had sickness, disease
and severe health condition including the deformities of their fingers due to
severe arthritis.
I know that through the practice and/or ritual that I do on
a daily basis, I have been
able to enjoy a healthy body, mind and spirit. In my book: “Hello,
is Anybody Listening” I have shared the
exercises that I use on a daily basis to let my body know that I care about it.
I call it my early morning meditation with self because that is the time that I
clear the rubbish from my mind.
Then I am better mentally and emotionally prepared to rise
above various situations that arise, and enjoy the beauty of my body and mind
that is made up of me. This is
what being in love with yourself is
all about – it’s about being comfortable in your own skin. I want you to ask
yourself, “Who do YOU love?” And when you do, I want you to acknowledge that it’s” YOU” who matters; and “YOU”, who hold the key
to your fortune in good health, that is
emotional, mental, physical and spiritual health. You are, after all, a spiritual being capable of greatness
in every way. Go ahead – love yourself today.
