Needing someone to love me

There are times when loving ourselves seems like an impossible task. So we assign that task to another human being to provide that much needed love. When we look back at our track record on how those human beings delivered, we find that it often failed to meet our expectations. We are asking others to love someone who sees themselves as incapable of loving themselves. What we are often seeking is a source of unconditional love. I don't know of too many people who are equipped to render that level of love. We may end up feeling even less love as a result of that relationship. When we truly learn to love ourselves, the love we receive from others takes on a different meaning. We see it as a connection to others rather than as life support. How do we make the transition to needing me to love me? We begin to look at what makes us unique and celebrate that part of us. The more we do this, the more the love we have for ourselves expands. At the same time we can tap into the love generated by the Universe that is ever present. The world around us begins to transform based upon what we believe we deserve. As our self love increases so does our expectation of what we deserve that contributes to our happiness. What are you doing to love yourself today?
