Are you like this? Always thinking you'll love yourself when you aren't so nervous anymore or when you lose a little weight or when you get a wonderful boyfriend or when you earn a little more money? Is that you? Waiting to achieve whatever it is you think you need to achieve to be worthy of your own love?
It's really amazing to observe how we treat ourselves! We who all want love so desperately! And where is our love? Because if we can only love ourselves when we become these so-called perfect beings, well is that love at all? It looks more like cruelty to me than love.
Love - true divine love - is unconditional acceptance and support and understanding no matter who you are. True divine unconditional love has nothing to do with achievement, prestige, appearance, money or any of the other crazy things we attach to love. True love is well... that completely wonderful feeling that is at the very heart of you. It's your true nature, it's the essence of your being... but this wonderful, magical experience which we all are seeking so desperately is usually covered up and hidden away by all our crazy ideas about what we think we need to achieve to let this love shine in our lives.
I suggest you try dropping all your conditions for loving yourself just for a few minutes - and see how it feels!
