Who, What, & How do You Love?
Think of the people you love -- do you compare them to others in order to decide how much you're gonna love them? I would hope your answer is no...Ask yourself the same question, but replace them with yourself. Some of you will probably answer yes to this one. How do you justify doing this because it doesn't really make sense? If you wouldn't do that to the people you love most, then why would you do it to yourself? Now, what are the things you love most in this life? Take a minute to think about it because there are so many lovely people and things to choose from. Finished? I bet so many awesome things came to mind, but how long did it take for you to pop into your head? Did you even consider yourself at all? If you didn't or took a while to, I wonder if it's because you love so many people and things that you forgot about yourself. It could also be that you feel wrong to say it. Or, maybe you're just not there mentally yet. Well whatever the reason is, you're the one who gets to change that if you want to and I highly recommend it.
"Once it's enough to see your true worth, your standards for the way people treat you will change for the better."
My entire life I've been all about sharing my love and making sure people knew how much I loved them. I actually found myself bending over backwards for people that didn't deserve any of my energy. I guess I was so busy catering to them, I forgot to give myself some of that love. I'm not saying stop loving everything and only love yourself because that's just being a jerk, I'm simply saying that you're allowed to love it all at once. Try it and you'll see that once you make your well-being a priority, positive vibes will fill your life in every sense. You'll grow to heavily appreciate the good things in life. I'm sure you've heard the quote, "You deserve the love you try to give everyone else." There are different ways to look at this, but I like to think it means you gotta start with accepting & loving everything you are. Your past self, your future self, and most importantly -- your current self. Once it's enough to see your true worth, your standards for the way people treat you will change for the better. This will make it easier to avoid toxic people and pick out the ones that are currently in your life, if any. Those people can be anybody -- friends & family too, so don't be fooled.
"...there's a huuuge difference between self-love & self-absorption."
Misery loves company and sometimes the people who are not comfortable with loving themselves won't want you to be either. Don't let that stop you. Just remember one of the most important things as you make this shift -- there's a huuuge difference between self-love and self-absorption. Don't be walking around like a conceited asshole who thinks they're better than everyone else...nobody likes that guy. We can agree that he has some work to do within himself. So yeah...you shouldn't try so hard to make people see it, just be humble & be yourself and those who matter will see your worth on their own.
Keep killin it,
