Let yourself fall. Let yourself be overcome by the beauty of the world. Let yourself be mesmerized by the sheer joy found in your own laughter. Let your mind drift to the most beautiful memories, let them swirl around you, bringing a smile to your face. The world is full of serene magic. You need only open your eyes to it. What magic can you see before you? What sweetness can you hear around you? Are the birds singing? Is the wind softly blowing through the trees? Is there a sweet melody flowing in the background? Beauty is there, right in front of you. Do you see it? Can you feel it?
Let yourself fall in love. Fall in love with your surroundings. Fall in love with the very breath in your lungs, for it lets you take another. Magic indeed. Where can you see happiness, joy, and beauty today? Where is the good? Watch the smiles. Hear the laughter. Fall in love with happiness, and surround yourself with it. Let joyful thoughts flood your mind. Put on your favourite song and close your eyes. Listen. What does it make you feel? Does it elevate you? Does it make your heart swell? Do you feel lighter? Can you hear the smile on the singers face? Listen.
Let yourself fall in love. Where does your mind go when you read those words? Do you think of a new mate? A new love? An old love? Do you think of your children? Your pet? Do you think of yourself? Ahh, yes. Now you’ve arrived. Fall in love with yourself. What a bold suggestion. Embrace your skin. Become enamoured with your smile, your eyes. Begin, yet again, to adore your own laugh. As a child, a young child, your enjoyment of life included it all. You did not exclude yourself. When did you decide that you no longer mattered? When did you decide that you were not worthy of your own end-of-the-earth love? Who convinced you that you were not worthy? Do you still believe that?
Now, come close, let me tell you a secret… You get to make the choice. Now, in this moment, you get to choose to love yourself. You have the power, the ability, and the capacity, to throw away old notions of selfishness, unworthiness, not-enough-ness, and self-consciousness. Toss them away like the weekly trash. You don’t need them anymore. They’ve served their purpose. Now it’s time to move on. Move forward. To love. To breathe in the beauty of your life. Including the magnificently beautiful human that you are. And you are. Yes, you. Look at you, all glittery and perfect exactly as you are right in this moment. Aren’t you just the cutest thing!
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is simple. Today, tomorrow, and the following days, close your eyes, connect to the energy of your heart, and simply say “Thank you, I love you”. Simple. Beautiful. Powerful.
Let yourself fall in love. Every chance you get. Every day. Love.
