Love Is The Answer!
Why do we get in our own way of what we want in life? We dont accept who we are and where we are at. When we resist where we are or something about ourselves as it is, we end up fighting against it, getting upset, and judging ourselves. We deny and withhold love and acceptance from ourselves, because we want to get to a certain place to get the love and acceptance from others so we can feel good about ourselves.
We learn to deny ourselves and not accept ourselves as we are. We begin to focus on what we dont do well, not getting the results we want, what we dont like, whats wrong with us, and all the negatives, which only makes us feel worse, not good enough, and unworthy.
Our suffering is in denying ourselves, the love we are, and believing we are unlovable, because we are somehow flawed, not good enough, or think something is wrong with us. It is our own struggle in not loving ourselves as we are and trying to get somewhere else to accept ourselves that keeps us stuck and unhappy.
We think if we are good enough or perfect enough, we will be loved, accepted, feel good, and be happy. If we only could lose the weight, get a better job, pay off our debt, overcome our anxiety and depression, or organize ourselves and get our lives in order would we feel better and be happy.
We put so much pressure and demands on ourselves to be a certain way or to get to where we want to be. What we find out is that we end up living most of our life chasing love and acceptance from others or outside ourselves, when all along we are the ones withholding it from ourselves.
When we finally realize that we can get what we want from ourselves, we can let go of the old cycle of beating ourselves up, treating ourselves harshly, and judging ourselves and choose to forgive ourselves. We can love ourselves as we are, right here, right now. We dont have to do anything, be anything, or have anything to love ourselves. We can just be the love we already are.
We can give this love to ourselves and be in a place of feeling good, joy, happiness, freedom, and inner peace that we all crave. This is what we always wanted, desired, and yearned for, because we denied it and deprived it from ourselves for so long. When we love, accept, and feel good about ourselves, anything and everything is possible! Love is the answer! It always has been and it will always be!
