Do you believe that happiness is about what you get? Research indicates that the happiest people are those who share their love with others - who give to others from a full heart - rather than those who try to get love or get things. Today, focus on loving yourself and then sharing your love with others.

Self-Love vs. Selfless Love
Dr. Margaret Paul
|
|
|  Is there a difference between loving yourself and loving others, or are they one and the same?
Have you ever been confused about the boundary between loving yourself and also being loving to others?
This is what Rosanna is struggling with. She asked:
"How do I know where the boundary is between self-love and the selfless love I need to provide for my child? How much do I give? I know this is just a temporary situation when my child is young. Also same question for a relationship, where is the boundary between self-love and what you need to give to keep the relationship nurtured? THANK YOU!!!"
If I was working with Rosanna, I would ask her:

A favorite childhood book by Dr. Seuss inspired this article about appreciating your intrinsic worth.
Long before I thought of having a child myself, I went out and bought myself a copy of Happy Birthday to You!*. From early childhood it was my very favorite Dr. Seuss book, and possibly my favorite by any author. And no wonder. It is a riot of delicious, exuberant images: the hotdog feast on the Smorgasbord's back, the washing off in the Mustard-Off Pools, the Official Katroo Birthday Pet Reservation, the giant cake made of guaranteed, certified strictly Grade-A peppermint cucumber sausage-paste butter--but most of all, the Birthday Bird, who picks you up, escorts you through these extravagant delights, then flies you home on a very soft platter.
I now perceive that as much as these extravagant events thrilled me, there was a depth in my reaction that went beyond visual delights and imagined adventures. Dr. Seuss is exploring the meaning of...

Member Article: "Love Betrayed Me and is Untrustworthy"
Dr. Margaret Paul

Do you have a hard time opening your heart because of all the hurt you have experienced at the hands of people who supposedly loved you?
Sasha submitted this post in the Advice section of IBVillage:
"This is more of a "thank you" than a question. After listening to your April podcast, I asked myself 'Why don't I choose to align myself with the power of Love more often?'

I can see that the practice of slowly, day by day, opening my heart to Love is helping this distrustful inner child experience the truth about Love. Thank you, from a slow learner. :)"
