As I am deepening my self-love, I’m learning that self-love is the foundation of the path to lasting happiness. Here’s what the Divine says about this:
Most of you miss the one direct path to lasting happiness: falling deeply in love with yourself, not with the ego’s conditional love, but with Divine unconditional conscious love. You cannot be in love with yourself and be unhappy. We are here to remind you of this:
The path to lasting happiness is the path to self-love.
If you want sustained happiness – not just brief periods of happiness in new relationships, jobs, children, and vacations – you must love yourself.
Yet you have sought happiness in every other form except self-love. Many of you even shudder at the possibility of having to love yourself to experience lasting happiness.
All is well in self-love; happiness resides here. Are you willing to take this path?
My answer was “Yes, but how do I take the path to lasting happiness? What is the next step?” This seems to have caused a Divine chuckle, as the response was:
Ah, the next step. You always want to know what’s next. Is self-love not enough? All you need to do is love yourself. There is sweetness here in this place of self-love.
Along the journey to unconditional self-love, you acquire wisdom and power. You come to realize that everything you thought you knew was distorted by a lack of self-love and you recognize that true power is sourced in love.
You are here to experience yourself in your unique wholeness, beauty and fullness. This is not an overnight journey.
The journey to self-love is about returning home to you.
As you start to gain momentum on this journey, everything changes. You embrace in pure acceptance things you judged and life begins to flow easily.
In this process your perception changes. You see the sun shining and the sky is no longer gray, even when it is raining. This is not the ungrounded bliss of falling in love. This happiness is sweet, sustainable, pure and sourced in your experience of Divine love as self-love.
We salute all who have chosen this journey. We are here to assist you in every way and welcome you with open arms.
I love how the Divine put all this together. The path to lasting happiness is the journey to self-love. And God desires to help us all on this path.
The more I read the messages the Divine has gifted me, the more I find myself and love myself. This is definitely a process. At times, the road is straight and level. But sometimes, it’s an uphill climb. And the good news is that I’m never climbing alone. The Divine is always with us, ready to help us to return to the truth of who we are and to lead us to unconditional self-love. And all we need to do is ask.
I encourage all of us to ask for Divine assistance in learning to love ourselves. My future blog posts will share many practical tips about loving yourself the Divine way. And of course, they will feature more loving messages from the Divine.
