Valentine’s day: The ultimate LOVE

Dear Courageous one,

Today you are invited to start practising unconditional kindness and acceptance towards yourself as a way of life. Consider that this is the greatest gift you can give yourself for your inner well-being. I say this is the ultimate love because not only will it benefit you, but also everyone else in your life. You see, only to the extent you give kindness and acceptance to yourself, can you extend it to others.

This is as applicable whether you are single or in a relationship. This also applies despite all your perceived shortcomings and failures. Yes, despite all your regrets, dissatisfaction, anger or sadness, you are worthy of practising unconditional love towards yourself in this very moment.

It is easy to get entangled in a complicated spiritual or romantic definition of love. How do you define love? I won’t tell you how you should define love. However, if it doesn’t include kindness and acceptance towards yourself, I ask you to reconsider for the sake of your inner well-being. 

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Lots of love,
Renier
