Notice how you love yourself is how you show others to love you. Falling in love with yourself can seem difficult. We tend to be the hardest on ourselves because we see and feel inside what others do not. Each of us knows ourselves better than anyone. The heart knows we only control our response to situations. Falling in love with self consists in being authentic, seeing through self-created illusions, and being willing to shift and deepen self-love and acceptance. Be true to Soul.
(Seeing our true selves and breathing new life into what is truly possible- Ladybug macrophoto by Linden Gledhill)
Notice what happens as we begin to see extraordinary moments are dots to join for our new normal. A simple insect or creature in passing suddenly becomes a remarkable inspiration to shatter our own myths about what is possible. We see mirrors of our true selves in these little marvels, see existence through their eyes, experience the exhilaration, the wonder and awe, that is an energy of shared consciousness. Suddenly, our life shifts to operate in parallel with a limitless version of ourselves. We jump further, soar higher, savour simply being and effortlessly reach new heights.
Notice what it is to find out for ourselves that there is no-body behind awareness. No deeper return or realm exists to reach. It is like taking a backward step (rather than moving forward or seeking). From the point that flash of recognition dawns, like a spontaneous flash in an empty sky, pure radiance arises and polishes the mirror. The light and dark merge. All urges to compare and conquer, dissolve.
For many of us, the idea of opening up takes us outside our comfort zone. It may trigger goosebumps or restlessness. Yet, by choosing to be more vulnerable, we also show ourselves we are worthy of love and acceptance. The quest for worthiness is widespread. We are taught to fear the judgement of others when we are actually our own most critical judge and jury. Transparency empowers us as we have nothing to hide and heavy emotions no longer exert power over us. In her TED Talk, Brené Brown explains, "There was only one variable that separated the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging and the people who really struggle for it. And that was, the people who have a strong sense of love and belonging believe they're worthy of love and belonging. That's it." As we resist the urge to put up walls, we feel vulnerable. Trust you can deal with whatever arises. We may risk facing indifference, criticism or rejection, but being open is also very liberating. When you leave your comfort zone to open up to vulnerability, you make the conscious decision and show others you are worthy. That is a pretty empowering place to be. The world is a mirror. As you choose to be transparent, and love the world, this love is mirrored back.
