It’s not about how your hair looks or how much you weigh or what brand of clothing you wear.
Unless you want to end up in a shallow relationship where you think you feel content but deep down inside you’re not, what you need to do is this:
- Visit your neighborhood library (or bookstore if you’ve got the cash to spend) browse the self-help section and pick out a book that calls for you. You’ll know which one is the right one for you by how you feel when it’s in your hand. Grab a bookmark and start reading it. You’ll find with books like these, that you may need to stop after a page or three to sit and absorb what you’ve read, to then continue later or the next day.
- A baby step at a time, think about 1 thing that you don’t like about yourself and try to learn more about why that is. What triggers you to feel bad about yourself. Is it because of what other people have told you? Or is it something you keep telling yourself? Learn more about yourself, but be kind and gentle with yourself.
- Learning about yourself will help you learn to fully love yourself which will allow you to more abundantly radiate love outwards. To bring you closer to being able to feel love for all living things. Can you imagine how awesome it would feel to feel strong love, right when you open your eyes in the morning? and to hold that feeling throughout your day? It IS possible! It’s a long, slow and often painful journey, but it’s TOTALLY worth the trip. FEEL how good it would be to feel this way, and allow yourself to feel it DAILY. This will allow you to manifest this way of being, into existence. All while reading your book and reflecting on who you really are.
If you’re stumped, try reading “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho, or “The Saint, The Surfer & the CEO” by Robin Sharma. These are great fiction novels, with a clear lessons.
The book that made ME realize that I wasn’t crazy and also thoroughly changed my life, is Living in the Light, by Shakti Gawain.
kudos to Rumi quote and The Alchemist shout-out. great book.

Suh-weet. Great post
I had a synchronous moment with the first line. Someone recently told me “intuitively” that I might likely meet my true “soulmate” in a library or bookstore 
That was a few months ago, but I was thinking about what she said earlier today…thinking maybe I should go visit that there library, lol And then I kinda mindlessly clicked on your link via another blog and what’s the first thing I read? “Visit your neighborhood library (or bookstore…” haha!

Dovelove,
Thanks for your great comment! When you are most connected is when it is easiest to see/hear the signs guiding you towards the centre of your path. Did you know that your name (Dovelove) rearranged is “Do evolve”?! That’s suiting for your site. I’ve added you to my blogroll. Thanks again!
