There is no intrinsic significance in life. We are the ones who give our lives significance. We are more than our affiliation with our work or our physical appearance. We're much more than that. Our birth documents do not define us. We are not the identities that our parents have bestowed upon us. We are unique, attractive, strong, and creative creatures. We simply need to rediscover our strength. And the main thing that will alter that for me is self-love. We are our own harshest judges and most cruel to ourselves. We often begin to question and mistrust ourselves. For me, the most miserable thing in life would be to be alone when I'm not friends with myself, which means I'll be in solitary confinement. For at least 80 years or something, we are pretty much stuck with ourselves and that relationship needs to work.
The process of embracing oneself is a natural one that begins within our spirit when we are ready for it. It's a process, and it's a pleasant one. There is always more to learn. There are always more levels to be discovered. We have a different relationship with a difficult element of ourselves every time we revisit it. It doesn't imply that some aspects of ourselves aren't still important. It simply means that when that aspect appears, we know how to deal with it and have an encounter with it. The more we can embrace and bring back into our hearts to be cherished, the more whole we are, and the more we can just be ourselves. Just learning to accept yourself as you are and to allow yourself to express yourself, no matter what that looks like. And to not care, to not give a damn about doing it anyway.
Our true creative expression is so unique to us that if we do not learn or discover a way to express it, it will never be seen in the world. It will never be expressed. And it will die with us, unacknowledged. Because it can only come through us in our own unique way.
If we wish to live an open-hearted, loving, and compassionate life, we must open the doors of our hearts. We'd be secluded and alone otherwise. When you begin to belong to yourself, to your own heart and your own life. Then you develop sympathy for others. It allows you to love the people around you more profoundly and authentically.
