Maybe that's your challenge for this lifetime. Learning to love yourself so much that you give freely and no matter anyone else's opinions, you find yourself feeling loved anyway.
Quoting: Sandi_T...could very possibly be right about that.
Loving myself has always been a huge challenge for me..and feeling loved has been too.
I do believe it is the 1 have not gotten past....I have been, still am to a degree, very self destructive.
I choose to hurt myself, instead of other people when I'm in emotional pain.
I once had a Counselor tell me that the reason I destroyed things in my life ( my creations, relationships) was because I knew in my heart that these things were going to fail, and that I just went ahead and did it myself, instead of waitng for it to happen...
Said I didn't feel like I deserved anything good in my life...because when ever I had it, it had been taken away from me....so I just started doing it myself, instead of waiting for the inevitable to happen.
So, you are very right...my BIGGEST challenge.
Hopefully, I will conquor it before I leave here..
