SELF-IMPROVEMENT

I Fiercely Like Me

Day 15, 50 questions for deep self-reflection

This is day 15 of the 50 Questions for Deep Self-Reflection challenge from Know Thyself Heal Thyself created by Diana C.

DAY FIFTEEN: How can you liberate your fiercest, loving nature?

This question is filled with so much power and joy. Or that may be just my perception but I think we’ve pretty clearly established that’s really all that matters anyway, haha.

How can I liberate my fiercest loving nature? This one is actually perfectly worded for me. Over the past few days, I’ve talked about allowing, removing blocks, and changing beliefs. This question gets to the crux of it:

How can I free myself from blocks and beliefs that are still diluting or even holding resistance against my perfectly natural state of unconditional love?

We are born with unconditional love. We are not born into it and thus, the creation of our beliefs and boundaries (or lack thereof) begins immediately. The path to growth is not one of learning, it’s one of unlearning and letting go so that we can return to our nature.

And that’s exactly how I do it. It is how I am working towards it and how I will continue to work towards it. By removing blocks and barriers, by chipping away at the beliefs I’ve built over the years, I can get back to that original natural version of unconditional love. Or rather, I can spend my life getting as close to it as possible.

Let me be clear — I am not there.

Unconditional love is not the destination, it is the journey.

I’m working to find it with myself in the knowledge that I cannot possibly have it for anyone else if I don’t have it for myself first.

And how am I working towards it? Two words — therapy and meditation. Because I learned months ago that I cannot do this on my own. I don’t know what I don’t know and therefore, I cannot push myself beyond that barrier of knowledge. But someone else can.

Step 1: I loved myself enough to ask for help.
