Self Love: Patience

Some days it may seem hard to love yourself. But we must learn to be patient with ourselves even on rainy days.

In the last post I mentioned the basic ingredients of self-love: patience, perseverance, forgiveness, joy, and peace.

I wanted to talk about all 5 today, but let’s take it one step at a time: patience.

Patience is something I’m working on. At a concert the other day, I was reminded of this. I huffed and puffed while waiting on a long bathroom line. And that definitely didn’t help the line line move any faster! My friend brought it to my attention. She said, “I think of you as a patient person, so what was that all about?” After letting her know that she’s just going to have to love me anyway, I thought about it. I am generally a patient person, very…when it comes to people. But I must admit, situations sometimes get the best of me. I hate lines, traffic annoys me, and sometimes, I get frustrated with my circumstances. I want things to accelerate already!

Patience is a form of kindness and I’m learning to be more patient with myself. I am learning that it is important to be gentle with myself, to be encouraging. Patience is about finding peace with the process. Patience is about trusting that things will work out for the highest good.

Maybe we can plant a seed with the faith of tree. Maybe we can water and nurture the soil and not steal the sunshine of our dreams. And when a stream of life force peeks beyond the dirt— that brown stem with one leaf on it— maybe we can let it be… 

 

I promise myself that I won’t yank my dreams from the ground, not have it whither with the sound of frustration. I promise myself to make peace with the process. I promise myself patience as a testimony of self-love.

A Dose of Self Love:

To truly love, is to be gentle with, to be at peace with, to encourage, to uplift, to be uplifted. Even as I'm on a path towards my dreams, my love, my perfect destination, it is so important to remember to be at peace with the journey, with simply being. I'm working on peace as a state of being.

Self love really comes before being able to love anyone else. It's like a beautiful flower on a spring day. If you don't have the beauty inside of you, you will not appreciate the flower. You may not even see it.

A dose of self love prescribed by the Divine.

So what does it look like, feel like, sound like, taste like? This thing called self love. Well, for everyone it is different. I know I loooove nature. Time spent in nature, enjoying its messages, makes me feel close to myself. And I love it! What do you love? Let yourself love what you love.

Although self love is different for everyone, there are a few basic ingredients: patience, perseverance, forgiveness, joy, and peace.

Self Love -No one is coming to save you!

Self love; do you know why they call it self love, because it is you doing the work, the healing, and the loving.

No one is coming to save you! No one is coming in a shining suit of armor, or is going to love you OUT of being a "beast". Just you, that’s all you got, and truly that’s who you need.

If you can’t learn self love and except yourself, all of you, no one outside you is going to be able to love you enough. It will never permeate though the hard shell you have protecting your heart. It’s doomed to fail, because only you can release the wall, and let love in.

Some of us have deep wounds, the ones I like to call sacred, the ones that come from having lived though great trials of the spirit. Fears the hunt us, and shadows that stand over our shoulders and block the light, even our own inner light. And if we don’t learn to self love our hurts, our wounded parts of ourselves, we will never truly know the gentle sure embrace of true love.

            “Some of us don’t have relationships, we just take hostages.”-Anonymous

I don’t think any of us want to do that to anyone else or to ourselves. To make someone a hostage. So stand up for yourself, accept yourself as you are now not how you wish to be.

You are so precious; treat yourself with kindness and care. Exorcize your demons, laugh in the face of your fears. No one is going treat you worse then you yourself, so stop and treat yourself with devotion. Know that your self love is the most precious thing you have to give!

“Got a heavy love, rolling like thunder, coming from above, make sure you’re under, falling like rain, burning like fire, Got a heavy love. Do you think you’re strong enough?”
Serena Ryder

Step up, take risks show your self love, hell we all know that unrequited love is a bitch! But even if they’re not the one, by speaking up and showing up, you are showing the universe and proving to yourself that you are ready for love. And by keeping it to yourself, you are basically saying: “I am not good enough” or “I don’t deserve love.”

“Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter try again, fail again, fail better.”
Samuel Beckett

Most of us know the joke about the old man who kept praying to win the lottery. And when he died and got to heaven he complains to God that he never won. Then God replied, "Son, you never bought a ticket."

So go buy your dam ticket, take a risk for yourself, stand in possibility for love. Start with self love, then acting and being the person you need to be to have this great love. Don’t sabotage your dreams before they have a chance to grow.

“It is safe to love and be loved in return, I am safe.”

A letter from "God"

Dear One, 

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, to have a deep soul relationship with

another, to be loved thoroughly and exclusively, but I say "No." 

Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being alone, with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me, will you be ready to have the intensely personal and unique relationship that I have planned for you.

You will never be united with anyone or anything else until you are united with Me. I want you to stop planning, stop wishing, and start allowing Me to give you the most thrilling plan in existence - one that you cannot even imagine. I want you to have the best. Please, allow Me to bring it to you. 

You must keep watching Me expecting the greatest of things. Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Keep listening and learning the things that I will tell you. Just wait. That's all. Don't be anxious. Don't worry. 

Don't look around at the things others have or that I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want. Just keep looking up to Me or you will miss what I want to show you. And then, when you are ready, I will surprise you with a love far more wonderful than any you have dreamed of. 

You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready (I am working even at this moment to have you both ready at the same time), until you are both satisfied exclusively with Me and the life I have prepared for you, you won't be able to experience the love that exemplifies your relationship with Me. This is Perfect Love. 

And Dear One, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, a love that I offer. Know that I love you utterly. Believe that and be satisfied.

Love,

God


This is from a email I received from Ariella Ford, Author of "Wabi Sabi Love". She received  a copy of this letter 20 years ago when she was single and it inspired her so she shared it with "me". Now, I am sharing it with you. Pass it on if you are inspired as well. :)


With Love,

Self Love 

Self love is reflected in the way we treat ourselves. 

Are you eating the right foods? Are you drinking enough water? Are your jeans too

tight?

Increasingly, my inner-light is urging to shine fully. My body has been asking for light foods- earth foods, already cooked perfectly by the sun. I’ve mostly been listening. 

Yes, it’s true, I just had a white chocolate macadamia nut cookie, but I’m going to have a spinach salad later. 

I believe in the importance of self care and self love.

For me, that means caring about each ingredient that goes into my body. Basic, pronounceable components have been proving to work better and have better effects than fancy products. We should even be mindful of what we put on our bodies and in our hair. 

We are, after all, letting those things into our bodies through our pours. 

To love yourself is: to forgive yourself, to care, to choose your friends wisely, to be gentle, to be driven, to keep going, to stop, to laugh, to play, to work, to give, to receive, and to know that -you are beautiful.
