#advicetomyself - Week 2

TWO.

Love yourself first, so that you can better love others.

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, 

deserves your love and affection.”

 -the Buddha

"Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye."- Jesus

Love and accept

All that is

In this moment, the next

& those moments before

The more practice

of total self-acceptance

of light and dark
within you 

the more feasible it is

to become unconditional love.

Love fully, love totally

Passing no judgments,

Not good, not bad

Really it is just

what it is

trust

that it’s perfect & well-crafted for you

Be grateful

Be blue

You'll choose & choose & choose.

Always up to you.

Forgive and live

in love.

Once you’re practiced in

love first with yourself,

you’ll be ready to love another

just as well

Think global

Act local

Love begins with you.

Always respect the soul

#advicetomyself - Week 1

ONE.

Accept the “bad” part of yourself, and forgive it daily.

It's so easy for you to look down on yourself
To zoom in microscopically on the details of your flaws. 
Dissecting each part with the eyes of a perfectionist.
Never accepting 
that what is now, is perfect.
It's like picking at a scab,
picking and scratching and picking
5 minutes pass 
You're still picking, 
wanting the wound to just heal up already
10 minutes pass
and all you've done is sabotaged 
& side tracked the healing 
process and speed.
Rewind 15 minutes.
Pause 
at the instant 
you remembered the scab.
the moment you noticed it.
This time
Look at it, observe
note it's healing progress
Breathe in and accept it 
where it's at
exactly how it looks 
& exactly how it feels
keep tabs
accept your scabs
& trust their healing process.

Be sure to really look at them
Avoid covering them up too often
Accidentally hiding them from yourself
take off the bandaid
Let air into your wound 
To facilitate the healing process.

Freedom of Self

Another's opinion on how you live

Is of no importance or value

What matters is what you think of you

How much you love

And how you do what you do.

People will strive to tell you 

exactly who you are

They fail to know themselves fully

Minds have drifted afar

Don't let anyone fool you

Only you know where you truly stand

So long as you're loving

So long as you're honest

It's your human right to explore, expand.

Even through your darkest of dark

Truth and light will surely come

Be light, be love, be true

Sometimes easier said than done.

Hiatus Happenings

More to come after some serious walking time. Keep your eyes peeled, Spring and Fall.
