In honor of Valentine's Day, let's speak about love. I think the most honest, respectful, loving things we can do for ourselves is to accept who we are and where we are in our journey.
We always hear and are told to "love yourself "...."no one will accept you until you accept yourself". And they go in one ear and out the other, until you start to gain an understanding of what those statements mean! We tell ourselves I'll love myself when -insert unachievable goals here-. But truth is when or if we reach those goals we will continue to push our standard of loving ourselves further out of reach.
Truth is....we are already enough just as God made us. We are already worth loving NOW. Flaws and imperfections, extra weight and unwanted addictions, a mom that lost her temper and a dad that felt like he will never measure up. All of these things do not change your worth!
When you find that you are judging yourself, stop and ask yourself why? What expectation have you placed upon yourself? Release it! Allow yourself to be the amazing human being that you are! Don't compare and remember we are all on our own journey!
Much love! Remember to smile and find something to be grateful for. 💙
