Am I Selfish to LOVE
who I Am?
By Lee-Anne Peters
Growing up I used to
be extremely unconfident about myself. I had zero love for who I was, and was
conditioned like many to not be selfish, but to put others first! Being a
caring person is a part of my nature, however being unloving towards myself is
not. I thought it was, but now I see it is quite unnatural for me to being
unloving to me.

| Lack of self love can bring up feelings like: loneliness, depression, overwhelm. |
When I started my
self-healing journey around the year 2000 it revealed to me how blocked I was
with my own self love. Insecurities and doubts were revealed as I worked hard
cutting ties and attachments that others had to me – they depended on me as I
served them. It wasn't completely them though - I allowed it! It was time to get my power back!
At times I feel so
mighty small,
Especially when you
mute the call.
My attempts to
communicate aren’t effective,
So I just leave you be
and become self-reflective!
How can I hold my
energy high,
When all you do is let
out an unhappy sigh?
My heart wants to help
you so,
However nothing I say
can make that pain go.
I breathe deeply, I
release that desire,
To help you now – all
you want is to expire.
I do my best to make
the most of this,
To be true to myself
and ignore that hiss.
I breathe again and
look in the mirror,
I am real about my
feelings – they aren’t my killer.
My feelings help me
understand my truth,
And how to find a much
needed energy boost!
The mirror is foggy,
how can that be?
I look into my eyes
and I struggle to see...
There is more pain
than I originally thought,
It seems in that net I’ve
been caught.
I stare back into my
sensitive eyes,
I ask myself, why do I
need to hide?
Can’t I just go on as
before?
Can I ignore that wave
crashing shore?
I don’t want to ignore
the feelings I feel,
I want to feel in
order to heal.
I place my hand there
on my heart,
My eyes glass over, I
am eager to start.
I feel the love I have
for me,
An unconditional love
that will set me free.
This love I have can
never die,
I am my best friend *a
contented sigh*
I don’t need to rely
on others at all,
To say my name - to
follow the call.
My calling is mine I
see,
No one else can know
what I see.
My reflection starts
to shine brighter to me,
I smile at me and all
that I see.
I say the words – ‘I
love you my dear’,
Not based on ego or
any old fear.
I breathe deep and
welcome in love,
The world isn’t out to
get me – I’m free like a dove,
I wipe the tears from
my loving eyes,
There’s no need to
wear this stinky disguise!
So off it comes, I
move deeper in love,
A love for myself –
below and above.
No matter what others
project onto me,
I am true to myself
and I will always be...
Be me, be here, shine
bright – that’s me!
If others don’t like
it – then leave me be!
For there is only one
special person in my life,
That person will not
cause me strife!

shine! – Lee-Anne Peters

| Potential within the pain we hold ourselves in! |
As I broke away it
threatened others, however it enhanced me. I began to feel more balanced,
whole, compassionate and clear – a new sense of purpose awakened within me –
all thanks to loving myself further.
Now I continue to take
it deeper… to be aware of my thoughts and words towards me – ensuring they are
as loving as can be. Now I have a renewed sense of purpose and genuinely love
who I am.
Today I shared on my
Radio Show / Podcast on SELF LOVE. In it I shared lots of tips and a live self
love meditation / healing. It’s free, and here’s the player.
