Surrender to LOVE!

LOVE, surrender…what’s that all about? LOVE is the primary force on this planet, or it should be! We already know that people LOVE their new car, or they LOVE their girlfriend (boyfriend), they LOVE that restaurant, blah, blah, blah. There’s a lot of LOVE out there, just not for the most important thing they have…themselves!

Let’s really think about LOVE for a moment. When you are in LOVE, you are happy, joyous and tremendously positive. LOVE for something outside of yourself causes you to feel good! The problem comes when applying your LOVE to…yourself! It’s hard to LOVE yourself because society teaches us from day one to doubt ourselves and doubt our value. “Can’t you do that better?” “What is your problem?”, “Why are you doing that?” You know how these messages plant seeds of doubt (fear) in your life. The seeds then grow up into trees of insecurity.There is no escaping this phenomena of negativity!

So…learning to LOVE yourself is process that is actually quite difficult. There are so many roadblocks of guilt, fear, unworthiness and shame that producing LOVE is quite difficult unless you just surrender to LOVE. Surrender is defined as “the act of giving up or yielding to another.” In this case, the another is actually YOU! Take down those walls you have built over the years. Release the carefully tended ideas of your inadequacy and just LOVE yourself. Often, there is a great emotional release as you decide to spend time and effort on YOU and that is actually a good thing!
