Today,
On Avandon Universe,
I come to you to talk about self-love.
How much importance do we give to other people's opinion?
Why do we seek for others' approval?
Who or what make us feel insecure?
Do we make our decisions take over when we are surrounded by people who underestimate us,
Criticize us,
Or simply don't add value to our lives?
When those around us don't make us feel unique,
Important or worthy?
Feel like that?
Today,
I remind you your true importance and uniqueness,
Regardless of your past,
Beliefs,
Experiences or actions.
We are all souls reshaping our essence,
Fighting our own battles with experiences that have taught us many lessons throughout our whole lives.
But to what extent do we allow our past to condition our present?
To which degree do we allow our open wounds to affect our relationships with other people?
There's something important we all should learn.
Self-love.
There are no instructions on how to achieve self-love,
Neither is there a recipe.
Individuality calls for inner work.
Self-love means putting oneself first,
Letting go of what causes harm,
What's toxic,
What we can't put up with,
What doesn't do us any good,
And what's not beneficial,
Whether it's people,
Relationships or situations.
And it takes a great courage to do this,
Because all this involves overcoming our fear of the unknown.
It means taking a big risk.
Self-love reminds us that self-acceptance is more important than what other people think.
An opinion is just that,
A point of view.
Self-compression also has to do with being able to tell who brings out the best in you.
And it's not a simple path to follow.
Being able to face up to your own darkness and sometimes even people's darkness.
It isn't easy to break off a toxic relationship.
It isn't easy to let go because there's a risk of losing,
Suffering or saying goodbye forever and starting again.
It isn't easy to let go of a life-long friendship of family bonds,
Simply because of the special closeness.
There's the fear of what people may say,
Of not being loved or accepted.
Similarly,
Resigning a job or a position in a company with hurt for long may be strenuous.
Because we are risking our financial stability,
Our reputation,
Our material goods.
We get hold of beliefs that stop the synchronicity of the universe.
We get hold of fear only because we are not capable of facing the unknown,
A new reality,
The unexpected world.
What's the cost of not letting go?
Am I not putting myself off?
Letting go means we consciously chosen to make ourselves a priority.
It means leaving behind that which burials our efforts,
That which make us feel uncomfortable,
That which doesn't allow us to make progress and to evolve.
And there's a point in our lives when we may not be able to focus,
And we may find ourselves at a crossroad or a dead end.
It is in those moments when we learn about our true inner power,
Because we are all energy.
We can gather strength we didn't know we had and a power hidden within.
Learning to recognize that we are dual creatures that live as opposites that complements each other is key.
If I'm darkness,
I'll seek my own light.
If I'm insecure,
I'll seek confidence.
If I'm not accepted,
I'll practice self-acceptance.
If I'm not happy,
I will seek my own happiness.
I am what I believe,
What I think and what I experience.
Now close your eyes for a moment and remember that you are love,
Light and wisdom.
You can start accepting yourself with all that you are.
The power of self-love is infinite and it's now today with you.
Can you feel it?
You've freed yourself of burdens you no longer need.
You've freed yourself.
Feel yourself love.
Thank you for being here with me today.
I wish you an abandoned universe.
