Love Yourself by Remembering You

by Doreen Washington

Ladies, loving ourselves is curial in order to achieve long-standing success. We are void because we still have not received those things that we most desire or feel would bring us most success. We haven’t been treating ourselves well. We haven’t learned how to adequately love ourselves - no matter what has taken place in our lives. No matter if we have had great success or have had greater defeats.

Our greatest prize and our possession is the love that we show for ourselves. Everyone isn’t going to show us the love that we may feel we deserve or even need but we can start off with loving ourselves by remembering us.

 

We have been feeling the hurts and the physical pain of the lack of this, which possibly is leading us into a state of depression. No matter the disappointments, we can remember to love us. The disappointments in your life should not define who you are nor calculate the love and respect which you give to yourself. We must decide that we are important in every way and on every day.

 

If we neglect to remember that we are our most prized possession, then most things will not work for you and you will begin to wonder why. Do you love yourself and are you remembering you? Sometimes we need to admit where we have missed it and then regroup.

Do you know it’s a sin to not love yourself? Well, it has to be - with such beauty that has been created in us.

This may be your day and your time to start doing so. The forces that lie within your heart and spirit have been planted there, by the creator, for you to pull from in order to keep you strong, to keep you encouraged and to maintain self love. Will you draw upon it today? Remember, without loving yourself by remembering you - satisfaction of the heart will be harder to come by. Remember, you are woman!
