Tempting You, Before Monday Comes…

A little inspiration before Monday’s alarm clock buzzes you awake, I’m ending my weekend with a great quote…

To fall in love with yourself is the first secret to happiness - Robert Morely. I actually don’t know who Robert Morely is. I’m also not sure what other secrets of happiness he has discovered, but he’s on to something. I didn’t realize it, but I started the process of falling in love with myself about 7 months ago. I took my focus away from what I normally focus on (other people) and turned my thoughts back to myself. It felt strange at first, but lately it’s becoming easier and even better, beneficial.

Since January, I’ve decided to deliberately spend some time alone. This alone time made me realize that I almost always focus on others. It’s because I avoid focusing on myself. For so long, I taught my brain to believe that someone else would fix all the things that weren’t right. I trained myself to believe that what I needed would come from someone else. But Robert Morely figured it out. Loving yourself = happiness. All I needed was my own love. It’s all about turning inward. It’s only been 7 months, but it's made everything feel right. There's a quiet happiness inside me and I’ve never felt it before. I am finally realizing that what I’ve always searched for FROM someone, comes from love for myself on the inside.

Focusing on externals will never bring peace. It’s like fighting against a river’s current - it cannot be controlled. Inside, you always have control, you just have to learn to use it. Maybe tomorrow, you will wake up and begin to turn inward. Maybe even long enough to begin to fall in love with yourself and find something that you can only find on the inside…
