SELF LOVE

Do you Love yourself? Do you like yourself?

Do we know the difference?

As we established prior, love is the heartfelt desire to care. That leaves us with the answer to what self love is; the desire to care for ourself unconditionally. Having self love isn’t ego, vanity, narcissism, or choosing to be selfish but is in fact the opposite. There’s a sense of humility to self love. Believing that self love may not be from a place of liking yourself (being fond of the self) but understanding that you are worth it regardless. We have the power to see ourself in the theoretical trenches & to say "I don't deserve this." We can't deny that we were made for GREATNESS, not comfort. Our comfort zone is the place that's gonna kill us if we get too comfortable. If you feel like no one cares about you, I do. Here at Soul Author We do. That's the whole reason we started this Zine, because you deserve to receive the tools to survive you might not have been given growing up.

Sometimes we get comfy in these cycles of seeking comfort over growth, then we might even feel shame/guilt which causes the cycle to continue. The biggest blessing we can know is every new day we are given is an opportunity to hit the restart button or improve just 1% more each day by the 100th day you’d improved 100%. If I was saying give 100% each day I feel like we’d all burn out pretty quickly depending on everyone’s window of tolerance but improving 1% in my life everyday sounds completely doable!!
