The ultimate healing comes when we truly love ourselves. But it's a phrase thrown around so much that it has lost meaning, and now is borderline cliche without meaning. It's important to first understand, that not everyone wants to love themselves. That can be hard to grasp, but it is true.
My primary relationship is with myself- all others are mirrors of it. As I learn to love myself, I automatically recieve the love and appreciation that I desire from others. If I am commited to myself and to living my truth, I will attract others with equal commitment. My willingness to be intimate with my own deep feelings creates the space for intimacy with another. As I learn to love myself, I recieve the love I desire from others."

"Why is is so difficult to love oneself?...Or does it have to be difficult?... I was trying it for years! I was following Louise Hay's philosophy and exercises and never got results. Sometimes I think this only made me love myself less."
