Keep Shining!

We are who we are. With all our flaws and frailties. With our wounds and our scars, we are who we are. With our wrongs and rights, with our lies and our truths, we are who we are. We need to only be aware of what we consciously believe is right for us. We are good as we are. When we become aware of our consciousness, our core, we realize that there is transformation that is waiting to happen. Once we recognize our patterns and our weaknesses, we need to start taking baby steps towards making the changes that will improve our vision about ourselves. Every step that we take forward toward recognizing our self and healing those aspects of our self that need change, we must applaud our self for the effort. Transformations within us, which will benefit our soul’s evolution, are the biggest gifts we can give to self. When we appreciate our own efforts toward making appropriate changes, we begin to see the larger purpose of our existence. We begin to realize that we are a sum of all our challenges and strengths. We are a beautiful amalgamation of all our joys, sorrows, pain and pleasure. We are complete only when we are wounded and can proudly show our scars, post all the healing that has taken place, since we have made true efforts to heal our self. This awareness and desire to transform is the embrace of self-love. We are a work in progress. We must pat ourselves on the back for every bit of the progress we make. Within us, we shall find the love that we seek from outside of us. Soon, with self-acceptance, we shall realize that instead of looking at anyone else, we need to look within and there deep with the recesses of our very core, lies this sparkling diamond of love that we can call our own. Once we feel this love for our self, knowing that we are perfect as we are, we will then begin the journey of self-knowledge. We must realize that we are giving of ourselves, on our own accord and without anyone forcing us. So wouldn’t it be better if we give within boundaries, only that we can offer without hurt and pain of rejection. Happiness begins with self. Make yourself happy before you make others happy. Love yourself wholly, completely, before you love others deeply. Experience self-respect and self-esteem that follow self love. You deserve it all. Hence, gift of self-love is the most precious of gifts. Remember you are very special. You deserve all that is special. You are first the receiver of love and then the giver. Experience love for self. Become whole and complete so you are the best giver of the gift of love, ever.
