Happy Valentine’s Day. Did you remember the candy and the flowers? Make sure to take care of those things. They’re kind of important.
And you know what is vitally important? You are. Remembering to love yourself today and every day is crucial. Do not wait for someone else to bring you gifts. Shower yourself in love. You don’t have to go out and buy a gift for yourself if you don’t want to. The greatest gift you can give yourself is to treat yourself with love and respect.
Look in the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and tell yourself that you love you. For some, this may seem difficult or even silly. But do it anyway. Loving yourself is the best way to love the world. Be your own valentine. Love yourself with all of your heart.
"Be the love you want to see"
It is this love for and of yourself that allows you to have compassion for others. Love is the healing balm of life. And when you use love to look at and then heal the wounds within your lives, you truly do become the healing presence of the Divine
What does it look like to love your neighbor as yourself? Only you can answer that for yourself. I do know this, though: If we — no — when we love ourselves unconditionally and in turn love our neighbors as ourselves, we will see shifts happening everywhere.
Be the love you want to see.
