The LOA practitioners are often accused of teaching selfishness. In fact, one of my own students made this remark – “Law of Attraction is implanting Selfishness in our minds”. I calmed that curious soul by informing him that what he is calling selfishness is actually SELF-LOVE. And, frankly saying, it wasn’t his fault. We live in a society where SELF-LOVE equates to selfishness, which is a sin.
I, myself, was a chronic giver who gave selflessly without caring about her own needs. My time, My money, My knowledge. My love … everything that I possessed was only for others. It was always about THEM and never ME.
Honestly, for myself, I NEVER EXISTED.
And all this giving and not caring enough for self, left me weary, tired, burnt and exhausted. As time passed, I always found myself burdened with other peoples’ demands with no time for myself. Least to mention, it started having a toll on my happiness, health and well being.
LOA taught me that its okay to put yourself before others. It educated me that you cannot love others wholeheartedly until you’ve learnt to love yourself first. You cannot always give to others happily unless you have catered to your own needs. You cannot care for others if you don’t care for yourself because “YOU ARE ALL YOU HAVE”.
Self-Love is a virtue not a vice.
Self-Love plays an important role in an individual’s success. When you talk with respect to LOA, it even plays an important role in your life to manifest your dreams. Because LOA is all about your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions. Only if you channelize all your energy in a focused manner towards your goals, you will be able to accomplish them.
We have developed this misconception that pure love means to love others by sacrificing yourself, your wishes, your dreams and to make it all about them and never think about SELF.
But, the truth is, if you do not love yourself first, you will not be able to love others truly. When you love yourself, you know what real love is and you can love others immensely, which will be the highest order of pure love.
In Law of Attraction, loving yourself makes you the person of your dreams and you will become everything that you want to be. Because, now you will realize your full potential and take the steps in right direction and make the perfect moves. You will achieve whatever you want. You will be successful, abundant, healthy, prosperous, and happiest.
Self-Love makes you feel open, empathetic, and eager to make a difference where you can. It brings to you: immense joy and ease.
Everyone benefits when you show up as your best self.
Start practicing Self-Love because it’s absolutely okay to put yourself before others.
Btw, I am still a GIVER. To SELF and To OTHERS too
