LOVING UNCONDITIONALLY

Attachment is when you take hold of something outside yourself and confuse it with the power that resides inside you. When you fasten on to an idea or belief that something “must be” for you to be happy, you know you have attached yourself to it.

The strongest form of attachment occurs when you make the statement, consciously or unconsciously, that “this is necessary for me to love and accept myself.” In so doing, you turn self-love into conditional love, because you have created an expectation that must now be met for you to be happy.

Practice

Remember today that the power of life is inside you, and you need nothing else to be complete. You are perfect just the way you are. Love yourself simply because you are.
