Loving Myself

I have often heard it said, and know it to be true, that all problems are spiritual problems.

My life experience has taught me to take that one step deeper. I have learned that every spiritual problem has, at its core, the same issue.

It always comes down to “how well I love myself”.

All of the power I have comes as a result of loving me completely.

When I am in-love with myself, peace is easy. It is natural.

When I withhold love from myself, peace is impossible.

My mind wants me to believe that things in the outer disrupt my peace; but my soul knows the truth. If something in the outer interrupts my peacefulness, it is merely a teacher showing me an area where I do not love myself enough.

Nothing; no illness; no loss; no appearance has the power to steal my experience of peace, when I am filled with self love. It is only when I have sought to receive my validation from things in the outer, that I am vulnerable to the loss felt when that external stimulus falls short of my expectations.

Where ever LOVE is, fear can not be! Light always eliminates the darkness. It is called elimination through illumination.

Anytime any darkness reveals itself to me, I know it is a blessing. It is an opportunity to increase my flow of Love.

Peace begins with me when I am able to love myself, absolutely and completely.
