You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.
-- Buddha
This past weekend, I attended classes for the training I am taking to become an Interfaith Minister. Among the many wonderful things I will take away from the classes is the above quotation.
It is easy to forget that we deserve the self-love and self-care that comes with it as much as anyone on this planet. In fact, without it, we are not at our best and cannot serve the world as effectively.
What does self-love look like? I imagine it’s a bit different for each person. For me, it’s getting enough sleep and focusing on peace every day, as well as making sure I get my daily quota of joy!
How about you? How would you describe self-love for you? What are you doing now? What is the next step you could take to go deeper with loving and caring for yourself? When will you start that new step?
You deserve all the love and affection you can lavish upon yourself. We all do. Consider this your reminder to take the next step.
