1. Self Improvement to Self Love and Acceptance
Manage episode 395729309 series 3550118
I have spent years of my life studying self improvement. I have had an insatiable hunger, that if I could just fix myself and improve myself, then it would magically solve all my problems and I'd find success, whatever success was.
I have since discovered that what I was really chasing was love. I believed that if I could just be better than I was, or just be someone else, then I would find the love I was looking for. God would love me more, I would love me more, and other people in my life would love me more. And so I pursued the path of self improvement.
Ironically, I am discovering that if you focus on self love and acceptance, you actually DO IMPROVE. Like dramatically! I've been putting the cart before the horse for years. But the reason to love and accept yourself more fully, is not about what you can achieve because of it, the reason to love and accept yourself more fully, is for what it does for your entire experience of life in the present moment. It is for what it does for your personal happiness, and for your relationships. For what it does for the paradigm in which you see the world. For what it does for your heart.
