I’ve always believed that each and every one of us has something that makes us shine. For many years, my cell phone ringtone was the Earth Wind & Fire song, “Shining Star”. Whenever someone called me, I heard: You’re a shining star, no matter who you are, shining bright khổng lồ see, what you can truly be. I felt like I was infusing each caller with that special message.
Over the last fifteen years, I’ve been advising all sorts of people (teens, corporate executives, stay-at-home moms) on how lớn have happier, healthier & more successful lives và businesses. After writing a couple of books and getting my certifications in integrative health coaching & hypnotherapy, I thought I had all the answers, but it wasn’t until my third book, a novel titled, lưu ý to Self: Love, that I realized everything I did prior was just a prelude to lớn finding the one most important lesson we’re all here to lớn learn — self love. When you love yourself, you show up at your best in the world whether that"s’ as a parent, a business leader or a friend.
Regardless of how self-confident you may be, many of us don’t really love ourselves and don’t think we deserve lớn be loved. This is especially true if you define your self worth by your outer world only—job status, appearance, money, possessions & public approval. If you believe love exists only in the material world (no offense Madonna), then expect a life of unhappiness, toxic relationships, poor health, and in extreme cases, self-destruction.
The challenge in self-love is getting khổng lồ the “SELF” part—the inner self. When you truly know & connect to lớn the inner self, you can see yourself as a shining star worthy of all the love in the world, & nothing outside of you can possibly change that. One way to lớn start this process is lớn sit quietly & focus on one good trait, one good deed or one good situation in your life. If you think you don’t have any, think harder. Everyone has something special about him or her worthy of love. Once you identify your loving gift, spend a few minutes each day appreciating it.
Every day, you make hundreds of choices. Why not make one of those choices to lớn love yourself. I invite you to lớn join my note to Self: Love Movement and spread love around the world, one person at a time, by recognizing what you love about yourself first. When you cốt truyện what you love about yourself, you find your shining star và help others find theirs.
