The Abundance Intelligence® of Loving Yourself
"I have seen an angel in the stone and had to remove the excess rock to make her free!"
Michelangelo
In our work with Abundance Intelligence® , we talk about the importance of letting go of becoming someone to embrace the greatness of who we already are. A simple concept, yes; however, putting this concept into practice is not always easy.
Why is it so challenging to love ourselves?
It’s easier to love ourselves when we feel like things are going our way and we’re getting what we “want”. But even then, even in the “easy” times, how many of us struggle with really loving who we are? And how can we really love anything or anyone else fully until we begin to love ourselves?
I’ve been reflecting lately on this topic of what it takes to fall in love with yourself. If true abundance is exercising the freedom to be who we are, then being who we are is about loving who we are.
As life goes on, we get thicker and thicker layers of conditioning. We’re told what to believe and who to believe and how to believe and pretty soon we don’t even realize we’ve stopped believing the truth of who we are!
We’ve been trained by society to fall in love with all that is external.
Not thin enough? Buy this diet book.
Not smart enough? Take this class.
Not young enough? Apply the latest wrinkle cream. Oh, and don’t forget the Ab-Roller – the latest answer to those annoying love handles!
An abundant life is about allowing life to unfold through you, not because of you. It’s about peeling back the layers of who you’ve always thought you were, to reveal the inner knowing of who you’ve really always been.
Abundance Intelligence® , then, is a process for falling in love all over again.
The result is a love that endures, that sustains, that reveals.
What will it take for you to fall in love with yourself? What are you waiting for?
