It is truly possible for you to have success in love and life. You can find true love. You can have self-confidence. You can feel safe and secure. You can rekindle passion in your marriage and you can love what you do, because the list of what you can have in love and life is endless when you love yourself.
You can learn to be your best friend by learning how to fall madly in love with yourself. When you love yourself, you have removed obstacles to your self-love that can occur on five levels of your being as created by Abraham Maslow:
1. Physical Level: when you love yourself, you make fulfilling all of your physical needs a priority in your life. You eat healthy food. You get proper exercise as well as rest and relaxation. You sleep well. You have a clean, organized and comfortable place to live. You enjoy physical closeness with your partner.
2. Safety Level: when you love yourself, you keep yourself safe and secure. You ensure that your physical needs will be met on a daily basis, by making a sufficient income, doing what you love to do. You can set boundaries for yourself and life doesn’t feel overwhelming.
3. Belonging and Acceptance Level: when you love yourself, you have close, intimate relationships, and you feel accepted and loved for your real self. You
are bonded to your real self, and you feel comfortable giving and receiving love.
4. Self-Esteem Level: when you love yourself, you believe in yourself and you go after what you want. You say positive things to yourself, and you don’t judge yourself negatively when you make a mistake.
5. Self Actualization: when you love yourself, you continually grow. You reach your top potential and still continue to grow. You know what your talents are and your life is all about manifesting your purpose.
When you love yourself and meet all of your needs, you will fall madly in love with yourself. Every day will be fulfilling, exciting and happy as you focus on yourself and the important people in your life. It is not a luxury for some people to be happy and fulfilled. Happiness and fulfillment are the result of meeting your needs, and everyone deserves to meet their needs.
You deserved to learn how to love yourself when you were growing up. Most human beings who have problems with loving and accepting themselves as adults lacked a loving family of origin. You are a wonderful, brilliant, creative, wise, lovable, competent and witty person, who didn’t receive the support, validation and guidance you needed as a young person.
You can learn today to meet all of your needs, and heal the negative wounds from your childhood. You can have the success in love and life you have always deserved to have by learning how to love yourself.
