💖When I started to really love me.........

💖When I started to really love me, 

I understood how embarrassing I wanted to impose my wishes on someone, 

despite knowing that the times were not ripe and the person was not ready, 

even if that person was me. 

Today I know that this is called "respect". 

... 

When I started to really love me, 

I stopped wishing for another life and I realized 

that everything around me is an invitation to grow. 

Today I know that this is called "maturity". 

When I started to really love me, 

I understood that I always find myself and in every occasion in the right place at the right time 

and that everything that happens is fine. 

Since then I could feel comfortable. 

Today I know that this is called "being at peace with oneself". 

When I started to really love me, 

I stopped depriving myself of my free time 

and to conceive great projects for the future. 

Today I only do what gives me joy and fun, 

what I love and that makes me laugh,

in my own way and with my rhythms. 

Today I know that this is called "sincerity". 

When I started to really love me, 

I got rid of everything that did not do me good: 

people, things, situations 

and all that pulled me downward away from myself; 

at the beginning I called it "healthy selfishness", 

but today I know this is "love of self". 

When I started to really love me, 

I stopped wanting to always be right. 

And so I made less mistakes. 

Today I realized that this is called "simplicity". 

When I started to really love me, 

I refused to live in the past and worry about my future. 

Now I live more in the present moment,

in which everything has a place. 

It is my condition of everyday life and I call it "perfection". 

When I started to really love me, 

I realized that my thinking can make me miserable and ill. 

But when I summoned the energies of my heart, 

the intellect has become an important companion. 

Today to this union I give the name of "inner wisdom". 

We must not continue to fear the contrasts, 

conflicts and problems with ourselves and with others 

because even the stars, sometimes,

collide with each other 

giving rise to new worlds. 

Today I know that all this is life. ❤✨💕💖
