SELF LOVE
Love is feeling of liking something or somebody in the strongest possible way. From the beginning we are conditioned not just by our families but also in our schools that the more love we give to people around us the more we will get back in return , as if love is some kind of barter system.
Like everyone around I had also been conditioned the same way that I am suppose to give love to my parents, siblings , family, friends and to those around me. By saying so I am not putting question mark or pinpointing my conditioning as the same conditioning has been going on for ages now. All i am doing is filling the missing piece in this. Like we are all told to love those around us we should also be conditioned to love ourselves as well. All through my life I have been giving out love to everyone possible and expected the same in return for myself but after a few years I had realised that iI had just become a giver. The amount of love what I gave out was way more than what I received . As i grew up I had failed friendships and relationships and people constantly kept breaking my heart. After lot of contemplation I could never reach the root cause of this so could never find a solution. Every time I was hurt or heartbroken I would go to the extent of blaming my self only.
As soon as I started meditating I realised that though I had given a lot of love to people around me but I had never focused on loving my own self. Just like balancing chakras , self love is equally important for soul growth is what I realised. From that day till now my love for my own self and my soul kept growing resulting in attracting not just love but also respect from people who once broke my heart. I became complete from within and did not long for outside love for happiness. To conclude would say that before you get codependent on others for love , try and love yourself first and search of finding love from outside for happiness will get over on its own.
