I recently found this quote from one of my favorite teachers of all time, Ms. Anita Moorjani (author of the book Dying to To Be Me), and wanted to share with you all. Growing up I was taught that I needed to love others more than I loved myself. That the more I sacrificed or did for others the better human being I was. Believing and practicing such teachings inspired me to be kinder and very giving to others which in every human’s eyes, including mine, was the right way to live. However, not loving myself enough because of the belief that by loving myself too much would make me “selfish” or “egocentric” drove me to lose contact with who I really was. It wasn’t until later in my life that I realized that WE ARE LOVE and by not embracing such truth, or better say, not loving ourselves enough, we are denying who we really are. And you can’t give what you don’t have therefore, it makes it challenging if not impossible for others to love you back. So LOVE yourself unconditionally and inspire others to follow the same path. Not only would this world be full of loving and caring people but also there will be more appreciation, respect and value for everyone and all that exists. Hope you all enjoy this post as much as I enjoyed writing it:-) Love and blessings, Ms. Jeannie.
