not perfect at work or something else ? For many , these events have occurred hundreds of times . We have been trained to dislike much of who we are . The problem is we then take it out on ourselves and then everyone else .
When you say " I Am self love ", mean it and feel it . Focus on what your statement is saying to the Universe . Know that at the center of who you are , you are divine , the rest is illusion and lies . The natural flow of life is to be calm and at peace . I have stated that any loving action creates ripples of love energy that flow out from us . Here I will use the ripple analogy in a different way . If you drop a pebble in a still pond , in short order the pond will return to stillness of its own accord . This state of calm is our natural state of being . The ripples are caused by someone throwing pebbles and we are the pond .
Once you learn to love yourself , you become aware of your shadows and illusions that plague you . It is a process that many do not want to face . This is understandable , as we have been taught to dislike who we have become . This has resulted in our trying to ignore these shadows and / or putting them aside so we don ' t have to look at them . There is nothing wrong with this .
