✨ At the root of most of our problems lies one thing: lack of unconditional self-love.
I know I say it all the time. However, yesterday, I sat with my spirals - all the issues in my life. I sat with them as long as I could and kept asking myself: why am I scared to admit it? why am I choosing this? why am I letting it be in my life? why am I ashamed? why why why? And then I understood. We chase success to feel worthy. We chase relationships to feel chosen. We chase validation to feel seen. We chase achievement to finally feel enough. And here’s the irony: The love we’re trying to earn was never outside of us. From a psychological perspective, when self-worth is conditional, behaviour becomes xompensatory. We don’t act from wholeness - we act from deficiency. We performed, overextend, prove, compete. From a spiritual perspective, forgetting your inherent worth creates the illusion of separation. And separation creates striving. We create 'games' and loops and tell ourselves that when we complete these, when we are good enough for others and others can love us, we'll deserve our own love. Ironically, every time we achieve, prove, or get something, we just discover that it's still not enough. Nothing outside of us can give us the love we are longing for. It’s the quiet understanding that your existence does not need to be justified. When you find that internally: • you stop playing games • you stop chasing approval • you stop negotiating your value • you stop building identities to earn love You act from overflow instead of lack. Change the perspective. Don’t go out searching for what was never missing. Turn inward. Recognise it. Stabilise it. Then go out and build from love and abundance. And share it - not to receive, but because you already are. ✨ The love you’re looking for is not a reward. It's your starting point. Your mere existence is proof that you are perfect and you are worthy. You don't have to prove it ✨
