This is the secret: it all begins with loving yourself completely. The dreams coming true. The life of fulfillment. The soul-level connections with people who think your smile is the best part of their day. Everything you seek begins with self-love. Loving yourself enough to be brave. Loving yourself enough to honor your heart's wisdom. Loving yourself enough to never settle. Loving yourself enough to choose you over and over again. The life you're dreaming about doesn't begin when you finally convince other people that you're worthy or when you reach some elusive state of perfection. It begins with the love you accept from your own sacred heart. The love you pour into yourself will seep into every aspect of your life and expand in ways you can't even imagine. If you want to create a life that feels honest and beautiful and fulfilling and true, you won't find it out there. It's right here. It's in the darkest corners of your own inner being. It's in the place that needs your love the most.
