Self Love

It is not loving to stay in a place or an experience where you are happy sometimes, sad most of the time. It's not loving to convince yourself that it is ok to stay in a place where you are not loved. Honour and value the way your heart tells you you deserve to be mentally, emotionally or physically abuse in hope that things can or will be better, when you participate in actions and activities that are not loving towards you. You are helping them to do things that hurt you, and that's not loving things to do.
It is easy for you to convince yourself that you must stay where you are because you have no place to go. It's easy to overlook things that's eat away at your sense of self, your sense of value, your sense of well being. As easy as it may be to blame someone else, to try to ignore what you feel, to call your pain sacrifice for love you are not being loving or wise to do so. Eventually you will be held responsible for everything you experience and how you have responded to do.
Love does not ask us to lose ourselves, harm ourselves or sacrifice ourselves for it sake. Love offers itself to us, measure for measure, what we offer it. If you are being dishonored, disrespected, physically harmed for the Love you give, you must ask yourself,"Am I really giving love, or am I simply afraid to leave."
Until today, you may have participated in being unloving towards yourself. Just for today, allow yourself to stand in the truth, honour and peace of love. Ask yourself "Am receiving all that I am giving ? If not, ask yourself why not.
