Cherish yourself

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who is staring back at
you? Or wished to unite the many sides that is within you?
The good, the friendly, the confused, the angry, the sad, the calm, the
impatient. All of that sides that makes you.

We create thoughts saying if only.
If only my work was different. If only i could live elsewhere. If only
i could find a partner. If only i could make some friends. And some
others.

Our minds are often divided. One side is paying attention to what is
going on around us and the other side often looks at what is going to
happen. We often think how what we do or say will be received by
others.

We deny ourselves the flawed parts in us. The anger, the sadness, the
fear and even the shame. We become silent. Losing our enthusiasm in the
process. And we find that we don't know who we are. So in the process we
start to change. Even when its good for us. Change is painful.

What will make us whole again? We need to become whole again. A
yearning to know ourselves. Every quest is about become whole again.
Not just with who we are. But with everything. Loved ones, close and
far. Even our surroundings. When last did you feel the rain? Really
feel the rain? Or feel the wind? The sun?

Love can help us become one with ourselves again. Not just love between
two who are a couple. Romantic love. But also loving others in a kind
way. Loving kindness. we are created with that ability. And what is
loving kindness?
It is the ability to embrace all sides of who we are. As well as the
world around us.  It teaches is to open our eyes to the beauty of all
beings.

If you find it difficult to cherish yourself. Silently say this to
yourself. Breathing in. I cherish myself. Breathing out. I cherish
every and living beings around me. Its something simple to do. But it
can transform you. Your life and those around you.
You will be happier, So make a habit of it. As you find that your
hearts capacity grows for love and kindness, You will find a great
sense of being. A fullness. A warm loving care for all life around you.
Yours included.
