Think of the persons, animals, things, you love the most. How do you treat them? Are you giving them the treat of their lives? The way you’d like to be treated? Or ….
If you look attentively, you’ll see that what you do to them, you are doing to … yourself. You are treating themselves as you are treating yourself. Do they wanna play? What do you do? Do they wanna have the food they like? What do you do? Do they wake you up in the middle of the night? What do you do? Do they get broken? What do you do? Do they fall short of the plan? What do you do?
How have you responded to all of this? Are you still full of love? Are you still full of that gentle, loving feeling you are feeling toward them when they’ve been “good”? …
If you do, you are amazing! Congratulations! You do know how to love, how to be loved, how to treat yourself with this shower of love. I guess you are loved.
If you don’t, there’s no problem. You can start now! Feeling the same love toward everybody else. Regardless of who they are, what they have done, or how the things play out.
They are the same! Persons, animals, things. You loved them yesterday, you are loving them now.
You are the same. You loved yourself when you “did” something “good”… why not today?
You are the same, same person as yesterday, and any other day.
Love yourself.
(ps if any resistances come up, let them be. write them down. like you cannot love yourself because …. see if what comes up still makes sense, if you hear somebody else telling you that about themselves – like your mostly loved person or pet – what would you say to them? … my sentiments exactly)
