As we begin this month of love, I would like to emphasise on an area in which we don’t pay much attention to having a love affair with oneself.
In order to create and sustain this relationship, we should be positioning ourselves for change, transformation and renovation.
Why do I say this? Well, I believe with moving forward and falling in love with oneself, change has to occur within for it to be sustainable.
Waiting for others or that one person to fill the gap within you, might or might not take place when you want it to.
So, are you waiting for something or someone? Maybe you’re waiting for the ideal guy or girl to fulfil your romantic dreams or for everything to just fall into place. If you sit still, waiting for your life to change, nothing will happen. That’s because your life depends on you, and what you do.
You happen to life, and each step you take leads you further and deeper into who you will become. This is the process of falling in love with oneself. New experiences that we expose ourselves to, change us, like adding sweetener to tea, or spices to a stew. We are affected and transformed by the things that surround us and touch us.
How you think about yourself will transform you?
When you try something new, you learn more about yourself and what you are capable of, what your limits are, what you enjoy, and what mistakes you would rather not repeat.
When you move, you learn more about the world-what is good, what is tragic, and what needs to be revised, repaired, and restored.
When you invest, you learn more about your place in the world. Whether it is a person, an event, or a cause, find something that is worth loving, and pour your all into it.
Don’t wait for life, because life is not waiting for you! Play an active role in developing your life and your world. So you can fall in love with yourself, each passing day.
