Why Is Self-Love
Sue Elliott — Successful Writer, Editor and Life Coach
So Important?
Self-Love is the key to Happiness, Health, Success, Great Relationships and everything else we want in life.
Unfortunately, there’s an epidemic in this country: an epidemic of unworthiness.
People keep thinking things like: I’m not good enough. I’m not smart enough. I’m not pretty enough. I’m not strong enough. I’m not financially secure enough. I’m not kind enough. I’m not tough enough.
I’m not a good enough father or mother or daughter or sister. I’m not a good enough friend. I’m not a good enough wife or husband. I’m not a good enough boss or employee.
Whatever it is we do, a whole lot of us feel we just don’t do it well enough.
Now, we may not feel that way about everything. But rare is the person who doesn’t feel that way about some things.
Maybe your unworthiness issues are minor. Maybe you think things like: I don’t sing well. I don’t dance well. I don’t cook well. I don’t play golf well. I don’t swim well. I don’t type well. I don’t write well. I don’t dress well.
Well, guess what. Wherever you are right now, however you’re doing whatever it is you’re doing, you’re just fine. Just the way you are.
You are good enough. I am good enough.
We can all let go of this whip we’ve been beating ourselves with. We can let go of the negative voices in our heads. We can let go of our insecurities and neuroses.
We can do it quickly. Or we can do it slowly. But the bottom line is: We can do it. We can. And we deserve to.
The only people any of us has ever hurt with these thoughts and fears and inhibitions and negative self-talk is ourselves. And it’s time, right now, to start being kinder to ourselves. It’s time to start treating ourselves like a sweet little baby or an adorable puppy or a real friend.
It’s time to start loving ourselves. Because whatever we may think right now, we truly are lovable. You and me both.
We are worthy. We deserve happiness. We deserve love. We deserve financial abundance. We deserve peace. And we deserve pleasure.
Here’s to a new path toward feeling deserving and worthy and filled with love.
