The more 'stuff' we have, the more secure we feel. And we end up surrounded by material goodies, sometimes to the extent that we don't even see the people in our lives any more. W e all want to be loved so much, that we sometimes feel we need to hide who we are so that others will love us. We smile when we don't feel like it, we say yes when we don't mean it, we do things that go against the grain, all in order to be loved by others. Others hide in making small-talk.
Love is the greatest healer, the greatest solution to all our ills, physical or emotional.
Simply reach into the core of your being and pull out the loving being that resides there. It places us in a situation where we do not love ourselves. Because, if no one else sees the truth of our being, we do. We see the lies, the deception, the pretending, the false smiles. We hear that mental chatter, and we believe we are not lovable.
