In working with self-love and finding inner strength and peace, I see just how difficult this is for me. I truly see this being my strongest and most difficult habit to change. I can't remember a time when I didn't look outside for love, support, strength, encouragement, etc. I feel like I have always told myself the lie that I don't need anyone and am fine on my own without others support, encouragement, etc. but I never truly felt or believed it.
I so desperately want to uncover, appreciate and embrace that part of me. The self-love and acceptance that allows me to find all the love, peace, joy and freedom I need within myself without external influences.
I feel like this simple task of feeling completed and utterly loved on my own would allow me to heal so much of what causes suffering in my life. All this desiring of things and people, all this need for acceptance and appreciation from others, all this seeking connection and support....it all stems from not seeing myself as being complete and loved on my own.
This desperate seeking for completion from the outside only serves to promote the idea that I am incomplete and in need of "other". There is no other, we are all connected, interconnected and complete and lovable on our own. I don't need anyone to tell me this or show me this. I am all the love that I could ever want.
