Many people struggle with loving themselves; as some wonder, is this a selfish act? Some don't know where to start, and others grapple within the realms of this
popular saying: "Love your neighbor as yourself". But
what if I don't love myself, how can I then love others?
I realized that people fail to love and forgive themselves and by extension, lack the aptitude to pass such
beautiful traits on to others. Inadvertently, the lack of
love, empathy and forgiveness that we have towards
each other gives rise to many of the problems we face
as a family, community, country and world.
If each person goes back to the basics of intentionally
and actively loving themself a little more, as outlined in
this book, then others will benefit from their sense of belonging, peace of mind, and from the verdant and
pristine environment created. The level of acceptance
and attraction for the beauty of each other would
surpass the crass and toxic environment faced daily.
Each person would stand in their 'own' strength as individuals to love and be loved. Oh, the endless positive possibilities of the simplicity, yet extremely powerful outturn of loving yourself just a little more by starting
from the inside out.
It would be remiss if we take on such a journey and tumultuous endeavor to love ourselves and others unconditionally without Elohim, who is the author of love and who has created us in His love. We will never be able to exhaust the boundaries of love with all our effort and might. This magnificent experience you and I will
encounter can only be more exhilarating and fulfilled when we are led and guided by Him who is the author of the phenomenon of love.
