The answer is LOVE

The answer to the question of all time is ‘LOVE’.

What is the question? I hear you ask. The question is ‘What is the key to true happiness?’

We all strive to be happy. No matter what circles we revolve in, our main goal is happiness. Whether it is materialistic or ambitious our end goal is achieving something that makes us, as individuals, feel happy.

Many people strive for perfection. But who is it that determines what perfection is? We all have our own ideals of perfection and aim for that and why? To make us HAPPY!

Now armed with this information that feeling love makes us happy. What are you going to do about it? How do you get enough love to make you happy? Well I am pleased to tell you that you don’t need to go seeking; you just need to unlock the vault to your own self love. By loving ourselves we will discover true happiness that no amount of materialistic possessions will ever give us. When we access this love we will discover that there is a never-ending supply all for ourselves that we can share with others and it will never ever dry up. In fact the more we spread our love the more and more that is created and more and more that comes back to us.

I like to think of it as a snowball, by starting off with a little ball of love and giving it the opportunity to grow by rolling it along and nurturing it enabling it to become a greater ball of love. Then in no time at all it will be ready to roll down the mountain of life gathering more and more love all of the time. What do we have at the end? A great BIG ball of Love that everyone can feel and enjoy.

Did you know that we can heal our body and mind just by loving ourselves? Simply by taking the time to listen to the signals your body is giving you have the power within you to perform miraculous things.

Louise L. Hay is a very inspiring woman and she passionately expresses how by loving yourself and affirming this love through positive affirmations you can heal ANY ailment or illness you may have. Yes, it is that amazing!

Tips on how to love yourself
Self-love may sound easy to do, but it is a process that needs focus and time to blossom. People who have suffered childhood neglect and abuse will find it very difficult to take the steps towards self love. Here are some tips I came across to assist in overcoming these steps.
Compile a list of things OTHERS like about you – ask people who know and love you what they like about you. This is a first step towards realising your personal qualities.Write your own list of what YOU like about yourself – be honest to yourself, if you are having trouble think about the people you love and the qualities you admire in them. Do you have those same qualities?Feel good notebook/box : Invest in a notebook or box that makes you feel good when you see it. Use it to keep these lists in. Look at its contents every time that you feel low or if you are made feel low by someone else.Read as much as possible – Make reading these wonderful things about you a regular occurrence in your life, as many times as you can. Every time you do, it will eliminate one time you felt bad or were made feel bad and replace it with a positive.Add a note- Make yourself tune in to hearing the positives about yourself no longer the negatives. Write each of them down and add them to your collection.You are your own best friend – We all love our friends but i have news for you, YOU are your own best friend, love yourself as do your friends. Close your eyes , feel the love you have for them and project it onto yourself. Store that feeling.Give yourself a break – Learn to be compassionate and forgiving to yourself.

It may take time to connect but by giving yourself some time each day to listen to your inner guide you will recognise your needs and desires easier.Look – This will be a hard one for many. I know for me it was. Look in a mirror, look straight into your eyes and tell yourself “I love you” do this every day as much as you feel comfortable with and you will find that it will get easier. I found it very emotional the first time I did it. For me the eyes are the gateway to the soul and I felt an intense feeling at that moment.These are all tips that you can use to assist on your journey to self-love. You need only select the ones that you feel will work for you. It can be hard to give yourself this gift at first but always know that you have the courage and strength within you and you deserve it!

The love that you attract from others comes from you initially. If you don’t love yourself then it is really hard for others to love you. I know this because I went through a period where I did not take the time to love me. I was just motoring along, loving my family and doing what I thought was right. But it wasn’t o.k. my relationships were straining around me and I was not being fulfilled, my soul was perishing. Since learning to love myself I radiate love and in every aspect of my life all of my relationships have blossomed too. I have so much love now within and I know that I will always glow.

When I talk about loving myself I don’t mean being arrogant; this is when someone thinks only of themself. No, Self-love is when someone has a strong sense of respect for and confidence in themselves. This is usually taught in childhood through honesty, acceptance and unconditional love. However most parents have their own issues of self-doubt and limiting beliefs which they project onto their children consciously and un-consciously and so a cycle of self-rejection repeats itself.

So let’s break the cycle and stigma attached to self-love. In order to truly love another we need to love ourselves first. It is important not only for us but for our families and for humanity. Everything in life will be better now that we know ‘The Answer’
