I don't know who said it but have always found this quote very interesting: "We treat ourselves as we wouldn't treat our enemies." Yep - the insults we heap on ourselves are incredible!
As if just on cue, my today's message from the Abraham Hicks website says: 'So many people need you to behave in a certain way for them to feel good. They condemn you for your selfishness. "How dare you be so selfish as to follow what makes you feel good? You should follow what makes us feel good." At an early age, you were convinced that you weren't smart enough to know, and that somebody else should make the decisions... ' Tell me then, how much of the above is true for you?
Because if the above is true, and you are giving in to this kind of manipulation, are you then not treating yourself worst than you would treat your enemies? How come, you ask? In response I will remind you that you are more than your body and your physical body houses a soul. Each soul uses the body as its vehicle... and the primary purpose of our being born as human beings is to discover our soul path, and walk on it. How then can someone else tell you to not take care of yourself? Why is taking care of yourself and your needs, selfish? The greatest need of a soul is to be allowed to thrive, and one of its sources of nourishment is unconditional love. Who, I ask, can it receive pure and unconditional love from, but YOU? So, BECOME YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND, and find time for YOU this Valentine's Day to spend sometime to get to know YOURSELF better.
I'll end once again with my favorite mantra: "I AM LOVED. ALL IS WELL."
