"Who Love's You, Baby?"
Volumne 4. My Journey of Self Discovery.
Love yourself first.
- People who judge themselves judge others.
- People who hate themselves will hate others.
- People who are impatient with themselves will be impatient with others.
- People who abuse themselves will abuse others.
And then you have;
- People who feel a gratitude for their efforts have gratitude authentically in their life.
- People who love themselves love others.
The side effect of people who are in love with who they are is self-love, the level of love for them self, the level of satisfaction for them self and the level they are satisfied with others.
How Do We Get There?
We all want different things. We are always keen to be successful in business, have money, cars and relationships. The reality, that I am now learning, is that those things don’t matter. To get started we have to create our own vision, latch on to it, and create whatever it is that drives you so that your passionate about it. If you are passionate about something it is easier for you to love you and others.
Our ability to createis controlled by our awareness or observation of those things that are part of everyday living. Our observation has a direct effect on how we create/build our own world. The aim is to keep it simple. We need to practice the skill of observation. We are poor observers. The average person has a very poor attention span. We haven't mastered the skill of observation. We are so addicted to the stimulus of the external world and our response to the external world. If we don't make our observation work, the brain will always work out of response instead of creation.
To build our creativity what we need is clear intention, a clear vision and a coherent brain. Combined with an elevated emotion it allows us the opportunity to create and start broadcasting a whole new energy of love into the field. Whatever we broadcast into the field is our experiment with destiny. So when we broadcast into the field you're not separate from your energy of the future, you’re connected to it.
The Blame Game.
If ever you start getting angry about anything, it is a disconnect from your new energy of the future that you have created. Then you're just back to the energy of the past. You've done nothing wrong, you’ve just lost your connection to the future.
Unfortunately the then issue is that you start blaming everybody else for everything. You then get back to being a victim of your life. You start saying somebody else is in control of what you're thinking and what you feel. As you start blaming everybody and everything you start thinking lack of. You stop the creativity you have been using. You stop your self- love.
Those that are in control, recognize their Creator, their own life and believe they are less of a victim in their life. They continue to work on their freedom and come out the other side with no disconnect. They maintain their creativity and self-love.
“Who loves you, baby?” “You do.”
“Who loves you, baby?” “You do.” These people are joyful and will give joy to the world. They are naturally joyful. They genuinely feel joyful. Not because of a new car, new wardrobe or vacation. It comes from the inside. It is what they have created.They will be joyful in their lives. It will be real and not rely on other people to make them joyful. They are joyful because they are in love with who they are.

A great read Stephen!
Blaming others for our problems is a bad road to go down. I learned years ago to accept full responsibility for everything and accept that there are things I am good at, and things I am not so good at.
It's a much better way to be at peace with yourself.
Hi Dave. We are the only ones responsible for ourselves, good and bad. I refer to the bad as training, so its all good.
Thank you for sharing.

Stephen,
It is a given that it all starts and ends with self and as you rightly say how can one love if they don't love their selves only as you have hit the nail right on its head its not the destructive self serving love its the I love myself in order to be able to project that love out not concentrate it in...
That concentrate it in is so self serving that it destroys all around it and in the end even the person involved.....hence narcissism, not being genuine, not ringing true an ability to relate to people so many ugly sides.
It is the ability more to be at peace with oneself and worked on that self for your own and those that surround you to be comfortable and happy to engage with you and you with them then we come to Twacks Joy and happiness are infectious!!
The point is you and I know its by no means an overnight thing but a genuine desire from the inside to attempt to achieve which takes a lifetime!!
Have a great day!!

Rami, thank you for sharing. You're right. It does take time and if it's not genuine it doesn't work.
Have a great day

At first, I thought you were going a reference to 'Kojak'. I used to love watching Telly Savalas.
You have written a powerful post and one that rings true on many levels for me.
Joy and happiness are also infectious. It's hard not to feel the same as those around you who are always happy.
What a great encouraging post. Those of us who are reading Think and Grow Rich through Edwin Bernard's posts are challenged to think positively about our goals. Your post fits right in with this philosophy.
I see you have been in WA only a few months but your rank is very impressive.
You have a great smile and I bet your enthusiasm has taken you far.
Best to you.
Barbara
Thanks Barbara. You will enjoy Think and Grow Rich. I've forgotten how many times I have read it. I get something new every time.
Have a great day.

At one time, I thought to "love myself" was narcissistic -- and some are. However, it doesn't have to mean that at all. It means to be comfortable with yourself just the way you are and making the decision to find joy in every day.
For years now, I've kept a gratitude journal. Every night before I go to sleep, I write 3 things I was grateful for that day. Some days it IS difficult but there is ALWAYS something to be grateful for in the end.

Hi Debbi, don't be frightened to love you. Be grateful for things that happen to yourself. Like your own personal growth. The gratitude journal is a great discipline.
Have a great day
