Live, Learn and Love Yourself

Life has brought me through an awakening. I have discovered that as much as I thought I loved myself, I could love myself more. I have gotten to know myself, what I want and what I am here to do. Today, I begin to trust myself, to share my story. Not for myself, but for those who need to hear that there is someone who has been there, who understands and who can share hope.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life…..again!
I love that I can live, learn lessons and love myself by starting over, no matter how old I am.
Tomorrow is a new day and I still may not get it the way I want it in entirety, but I can keep on trying.
Even though it won’t be like the movie “Ground Hog Day” where I can go back to the same incident over and over til I get it just the way I want it and have all of the consequences following the incident all lining up perfectly until the day is … JUST RIGHT, I will still learn something as I go through what I must and probably even some things I could have avoided.
My trying is what has changed! I used to have this long list of things that I would like to accomplish. Now, the first and most important thing on the list is sit still and listen. What am I supposed to do today? I never used to sit still. If I did, the day could never be right, I would run out of time. I used to say the day isn’t long enough. I have learned it is just right!
Well, you know that whatever you believe is true! So, maybe you have to change your beliefs. You know that is NOT as easy as it sounds. I have found some great resources online that have helped me and I am happy to share those with you over the rest of the year.
Everyone has just finished thinking of those they love, so now it is time to focus on loving yourself. This is a verb! Not just a warm fuzzy feeling.
As I help others, I help myself and the pieces of my life which have seemed disconnected, come together. And by helping myself, I help others. I used to think this approach was selfish. But, it has become life sustaining and healing.
So, now I am envisioning the life that I always wanted from the beginning. The one that I got sidetracked from, discouraged from, stuck away from for way too long. If you’re feeling the same way, I share hope.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life! So Live, Learn and Love Yourself!!
