You are loved and lovable…YOU ARE LOVE itself!
Whether you’ve had bad things happen to you or not, you are loved and lovable…YOU ARE LOVE itself.
Whether life has turned out the way you wanted or crappy things have happened along the way, do not judge your worth by what has or hasn’t occurred…YOU ARE WORTHY AND DESERVING BECAUSE YOU ARE.
External things (good or bad / positive or negative) have no bearing on your innate worth.
A case could be made that it’s easier to know love when you come from a loving environment.
A case could be made that it’s easier to believe in your worth when you have not been subject to thoughts, ideas and beliefs that try to diminish your worth.
However, another case could be made that those born into the above circumstances may only know a limited love/safety/worthiness…one that temporarily sustains itself so long as the feedback loops aren’t challenged.
The circumstances and challenges that occur in our lives are an opportunity to know ourself beyond them.
It’s an opportunity to see that a particular feedback loop need not be there to know the deepest state of love (i.e. your own safety, security and worthiness).
From a soul growth perspective, this is why these feedback loops are sometimes abruptly removed from us (or not there as apart of the circumstances we’re born into)…they serve as catalysts to turn us inward.
But it’s up to us to use them towards that end in order to gain the truths they point to.
Plugging into the motherboard of LOVE goes beyond any circumstance, challenge or external feedback loop to the Source of Love itself.
No matter what has or hasn’t occurred in your life, it’s always available to you.
Plugging into the motherboard is more a matter of seeing all the ways you’ve been falsely trying to know love and dropping those efforts. When those efforts are dropped, a deepening into unconditional love becomes possible. Space is made for it to be known.
Whether you have intense catalysts or more subtle ones, these innate truths remain available to you, no matter how far you feel from them.
But you have to set this as the goal for how you choose to process your experiences; otherwise you’ll continue to get lost in ideas that support conditional love.
The distance between where you perceive yourself and the innate truths available to you is no more than a decision away.
YOU ARE LOVE ITSELF.
YOU ARE THE MOTHERBOARD.
Stop looking for and chasing love outside of yourself and consider diving deep within to discover these truths for yourself.
You will emerge free from the ties that bind.
And you’ll begin to relate to yourself, others and the world from overflowing love, never requiring anything in return to know this ever present abundance.
Instead of looking out into the world to “get” something to feel safe, secure, worthy and loved, you’ll radiate from the foundation of love itself as love.
All it takes is a willingness to begin this process.
A willingness to open to these discoveries.
And a conviction that you’re worthy of knowing these truths.
This small willingness has the potential to change everything—what you know about yourself and how you contribute to the world— for the better.
It is my sincere hope that this nudges you towards those discoveries.
