Self-Love & Success
I love putting these two words together because I don’t think they are often associated. In reality, you can’t have one without the other.
What is self-love? The foundation of self-love is the realization that you are love. You live a life of self-love when you identify with your spirit, with the non-physical Being that you are. When you really know that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, you become committed to mastering the tools of self-love that help to release your conditioned mind, all those beliefs and feelings that block your experience of the love that you are.
What is success? I prefer to use Deepak Chopra’s definition. It’s a good one: “The continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals.”
There are no right goals or wrong goals. Worthy goals are those that bubble up from within you that bring you a sense of joy when you imagine them.
If you do not give yourself the time and space to go inside, to touch the Being that you are, to feel your unique energetic vibration and frequency—if you are always on the go and seeking the next accomplishment while ignoring your Being, your success will not bring you happiness.
Soul-aligned success can only be accomplished by learning to love you. The worthy goals are those that outform your heart’s desire, your soul’s-purpose.
You can work hard and make lots of money and have all the things that make the world label you as a success. And there is nothing wrong with wonderful things. But the new paradigm of success that is being birthed in the world now—success that comes from soul-alignment—cannot come to fruition without the practice of self-love.
How does one practice self-love? That is a much bigger question than I can answer here, but the most important starting place and the #1 practice is this: Stillness.
