What makes you lovable?

Saturday, August 14, 2021

The act of giving love, and the notion of receiving it, pass through the same channel. In other words, you radiate the amount of love you feel worthy to receive. By amplifying your weaknesses and faults, you limit the amount of love that can flow into and out of your life. You restrict your capacity to be loved by over exalting your perceived weaknesses. The only way to keep love alive, and to keep it growing, is to unbound yourself to your faults, your past transgressions, and your negative self-view. When others love you, they are looking past your faults, and freeing you from what keeps you in your own self-prison. When people love you, they are merely amplifying what makes you lovable. Couldn’t you do that for yourself? Couldn’t you see what makes you lovable, attractive, and desirable? We probably could do a better job of this.

If you think you are letting others love you more than you love yourself, you’re deceiving yourself. You can only receive as much love as you feel worthy of, through how you view yourself. You become more lovable, when you fully accept who you are, faults and all. Your faults and your shortcomings never preclude you from being unconditionally loved and cherished by others. We all deserve an abundant flow of love into our lives. But in order to be a free-flowing channel of affection, you have to squelch your false perceptions of unworthiness. Imagine just how much you mean to those who love you! Your worthiness to receive love is actually in the hearts and minds of those who love you. But you can get confused by your own, negative self-talk. It’s time to fully accept yourself as a deserving, appreciated, and cherished individual. You are worthy of the respect and devotion of those who love you, and who call you by name. Release the restrictions you place upon yourself and be a grateful recipient of the love that others know that you deserve.
