Love.
It’s such a powerful word, right?
I feel sometimes it can be over used and lose its real meaning.
An intense feeling of deep affection.
Love is strong. It is kind. Generous. And Motivating.
So my question is; Do you love you?
When we are born, I believe we are love. Our whole being is pure, as love is.
Then life begins. As we grow we are told ‘you can’t’, ‘don’t do that’, ‘you shouldn’t’, ‘no’. This is when we start to doubt ourselves. With each ‘you can’t do that’ our possibilities are limited in our mind. This is where we start to build an image of ourselves that is inaccurate. We begin to worry about our flaws and what we ‘can’t’ do.
Side note: I’m not saying as parents we shouldn’t tell our children ‘no’… of course we also need to set boundaries and teach our children to have healthy boundaries.
Then we go to school. We have to navigate things like trying new things, getting it wrong and making mistakes. It’s a tough gig. If we are ridiculed or humiliate or worse shamed when these things happen it can scar our image of ourself.
Then the fears come swarming in…
“What if I’m not good enough?”
“What if I don’t belong?”
“What if I’m not loveable?”
Because of these fears we put up a barrier around ourselves as a layer of protection. A mask, if you will. It takes so much energy and effort to put on this mask – the mask that keeps us ‘safe’. We hide our core. Everyone has this going on by the way. We are all in this together…
We forget what we truly are. We forget that we are worthy. That we are enough. That we are loveable. We forget that not being perfect is part of the human condition.
So how do we get back to our core? How do we become comfortable with who we are without the mask?
