10/24/14 Entry (Loving Ourselves)


Lately, I’ve been thinking about self love and this quote attributed to Lucille Ball. And then yesterday, I saw the following words (attributed to “Unknown”) that made up part of a larger quote: “It takes a level of self-love, of dedication and determination to live your greatest life.” Seeing it, I thought back to Lucy’s quote and came to the following conclusion/reminder: everything we live—the sum of all our thoughts & actions speaks volumes about how much we love ourselves. How much we love ourselves to think more on and do more of what is healing and nurturing. How much we love ourselves to have faith in and champion our ability to be well adjusted come what may. How much we love ourselves to be aware of when we’re entertaining fear thoughts or making fear based decisions masquerading as love. I can look at my life and much of the current energetic space I inhabit and see that the changes I desire underneath it all comes down to consciously choosing more self love.
So I choose more self love. I choose to ask myself if I’m thinking and acting from a place of love or a place of fear masquerading as love. And how might one know the difference? I think one feels it—predicated upon the conscious desire to know/genuinely care where one is coming from.
I’m going to work on it. Maybe you’ll join me. I wouldn't mind the company.  Good luck out there♥
