There will never be an ending to hear from others lamenting about themselves - their short-comings, the so called "imperfections" . What person other than ourselves can we be sure will be with us from the moment of conception until the last breath leaves our body? None that I can think of. We may look for someone to be with us always and even the love of our life will not have the same duration with ourselves that we do. Let's face it ; if we are looking for longevity in our relationships, we are it! No relationships last forever. Not to mention the time of age we are in. All things, are after all, transient. That's just the way it is.
Now that we have established the point of unique longevity, let's explore some of the factors that may limit our romance with ourselves. This is the easiest love affair of our lives and we don't want to miss it.
Self-acceptance - now that's a tough one. Some of us are so busy trying to make someone like us or trying to be someone else - who we think we should be, who society or our family thinks we should be, or who we dream we are - that we have difficulty seeing and accepting who we are at this point in time and space. The irony is that the minute we accept ourselves as we are, we can change and grow and move on.
Admitting our mistakes is one of the wide avenues leading to self-love. When we admit our mistakes and make amends for them, we reclaim our power and actually like ourselves better. Remember, lifelong romances take time, a real much longer time. Learn to love love yourself better.
