Loving Life, Loving Self
In this world of so many different paths to take, different people to meet, different circumstances to face, both good and bad, we often blame ourselves too much. It is normal to do but do we ever Love ourselves for things that happen, BOTH good and bad?
Probably not. I didn't . Until one day I decided to quit judging others...and myself. That is a hard one, not judging self.
The old saying shoulda woulda coulda pops up. Always blaming myself.
If mother natures drops a storm, I would find an excuse to blame myself if something happened.
I have a dear friend who passed over, but still lives within my soul. She was loving, and kind, and always had words of wisdom.
I was helping her with dishes at her house and I dropped and
broke a glass. "Oh I am so sorry.. I am clumsy ," and other things.
She said, "Stop. If I was at your house and broke a glass, or anything, what would you say to me?"
I said, "I would say, 'It is ok, just a glass, no problem, it is all good.'"
She said, " 'exactly' and why not say the same thing for yourself? "
That is how we need to love self. Life is here to BE. We
are here to BE. We must treat ourselves with love, because we matter
too. We do it for others, we need to learn to do it for ourselves.
Forgive yourself, as you forgive others. We all matter.
Love, Judith
