Some points about Self-Love
The most important being that it is an inside affair
In other words it is, in my opinion,
something that grows as a result of your
Choices and actions and decisions about yourself
Although people can help and contribute,
you and I have to give it to ourselves.
The shift is internal
It has to do with
The way you think about yourself
The way you treat yourself
And also the way you talk about yourself, (to others, and to yourself.)
And you may have noticed that your actions and words
Set the stage for how others treat you.
I have a friend from a long time ago –
and he has me stuck in the time when he first met me.
So when he gives me a gift, he gives me something
that fits the way I trained him to think about me.
I noticed he gives better quality gifts to other friends.
Not because he loves me less, but because I trained him....
With my action and words...
To see me as someone who thinks less of himself.
Ha! Life is wonderful.
I enjoy his gifts as double gifts now.
I love that he cares about me
I love that I care about myself
I love that I can laugh at how things used to be for me in the world.

Edward,
ReplyDeleteI think the comments are being over-moderated and many are not ending up on here. The idea of a "blog" over a "website" is the ability to comment and interact with readers. Your moderator is blocking many of the comments and we are not hearing back from you. ...
