For a long time I did not understand what SELF LOVE actually is. To me, it represented egoism, conceit and unreasonable pride. I did not understand why it kept being promoted, why it kept being encouraged to be cultivated and in all honesty I didn’t even know how it should have been cultivated. Standing in front of a mirror and admiring own self ..??
As funny as it may sound to some of you, those were my exact thoughts. It was only thanks to the time that I have invested in my personal growth through meditation and introspection when I realised the true meaning of SELF LOVE.
SELF LOVE isn’t unreasonable pride but self-belief and healthy confidence. It isn’t a conceit but a boundary. It’s not selfishness but self-respect.
SELF LOVE does not represent doing more, so we feel valuable and worthy. But it doesn’t represent stagnant state either. It means that we know our worth and that we value ourselves enough without the need of outside approval or validation. Yet, we keep working on becoming better whilst forgiving mistakes we may make in life.
SELF LOVE is one of the most important things to understand and cultivate because it literally subconsciously directs our life.
And if you were confused about it just like me, then mind that finding SELF LOVE is like finding best friend for life❤️🍀.
