As young girls who may have been raised on a diet of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and eventually Mills and Boons and Harlequin novels, along with a slew of teen and romantic comedies, there was likely the hope of eventually meeting our Prince/Princess Charming, AKA the love of our life!

It can thus seem almost anticlimactic that self-help guru, Byron Katie, is saying that the search to find the love of your life has been all for naught… as that person has been there with you all along!

Maybe you have been lucky and have met that special someone; but keeping them in your life can be a challenge, a product of conscientious effort, compromise and commitment by both parties.

However, developing and nurturing our relationship with ourself is something that many of us have given little thought, and far less effort. However, since we are our most constant companion, it is actually in our best interest to really appreciate, understand to love the person we see in the mirror.

 

Throughout the day, we invite you to revisit this quote. Below are a few questions you may wish to ask yourself, and those who journal may find them especially useful:

• Am I still hoping to find a love of my life?
• Do I think of myself as a love of my life?
• How well do I know myself?
• Am I as excited to be with myself, and to deepen my relationship with myself as I would be with someone else?

 

 

Best wishes, and have a great day!
