What’s up ya’ll? This is Jackie O. I have been thinking a lot about love lately. Here are some of my thoughts!
Love. We are all searching for it – even if we don’t admit that we are. We all crave it! As humans, we can’t really exist without it! We dream of finding an unconditional love. Someone who will love us DESPITE ourselves, through thick and thin, sickness and health to the end of our days. Yet, most of us don’t realize that we have that unconditional love within us. We have the ability to love ourselves unconditionally – to treat our bodies and minds as temples, yet most of us don’t. The question then becomes how can we expect anyone else to love us despite our flaws if we don’t love ourselves unconditionally and treat our bodies and minds with the respect they deserve.
For me, FITNESS, is part of this unconditional love exercise. I workout my body and push it to its limits, because I love and respect my body unconditionally. I want to see the temple that is my body be a shining example of all it was meant to be and in working and respecting my body, I also work and respect my mind, because the body and mind are linked. It is through our bodies that we communicate with the work. We are all unique. we are gems put on this earth with a special purpose and it it through our body mind connection to the world that we achieve this purpose. When you think of yourself as the only one of your kind in the universe, you begin to understand just how precious you are and just how deserving of unconditionally love you are, but that love comes from within.
Please share your thoughts on love with me.
