Dear Friends,
When was the last time you did something with your full heart and soul – I mean really put every ounce of your “being” into it? Can you remember that feeling you experienced – almost bliss like, yes?
For me, when I’m in a creative space, it’s as if my entire self takes over and I feel as if things are just naturally flowing – I don’t question much or for that matter even really think too much…I’m just really happy being me.
I think when we’re happy being ourselves, we get a clearer picture of what it feels like to love ourselves. Can you just for a moment, consider what it might look like if everyone in your inner circle of family and friends really loved themselves? Now expand upon that – can you imagine what life would feel like?
Awhile ago, I read a book “Love Yourself Like Your Life Depends On It” by Kamal Ravikant. I have since reread the book countless times. It’s a short read, but one that leaves a lasting impression. To give you a peek into the author’s life, look at what he has to say…
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have some amazing experiences in my life so far. I’ve trekked to one of the highest base camps in the Himalayas, meditated with Tibetan monks in the Dalai Lama’s monastery, earned my US Army Infantry patch, walked 550 miles across Spain, lived in Paris, been the only non-black, non-woman member of the Black Women’s writers’ group, written a novel, held the hands of dying patients, and worked with some of the best people in Silicon Valley. But the most transformative experience has been the simple act of loving myself.”
May I recommend you pick up a copy for yourself – I don’t think you will be disappointed.
With Love & Gratitude,
Patricia Diesel
