Loving yourself is the key to a happy life. When you love all that you are, unconditionally, life reflects that back to you. When you learn to love yourself, fully, you create a happy, loving environment to flourish in. When we lose sight of what’s most important—loving self—we lose sight of our goals and dreams and being happy and healthy. Ultimately, to live a fulfilling life, first and foremost, requires that you love all that you are and trust that life loves you in return.
Some key points you always need to put light on :
1. Focus
Focus can radically change your life. If you focus on your life to make it better, it will eventually get better.
" The secret to change is to concentrate all your energy , not to fight the old, but to build the new. "
Life changes when you decide to change it yourself. You have to work on change. The more you focus in your life and concentrate on the things you have in mind, the better your life will be.
2. Do Not Run From Yourself
If you feel things deeply, if the world has weathered you, if you are going through something that is uncomfortable or painful, or hard - you often have to decide between allowing yourself to numb them. And a lot of human beings choose to numb their experience of the world. A lot of human being tell themselves that it is all too much, that is all too inconvenient, to deal with the dept of their circumstance. And it is often not their fault. In a world that has given us so many ways to kill our pain through telivision or the sensationalizing of being cool and favourable over being authentic.
So, the greatest thing you can do when you are dealing with pain or hardship or change or opposition is to feel it. Please, do not run from your feeling. Run towards it. Run within yourself. Meditate. Get yourself to know your mind, your heart and your soul. Trace your finger over your wounds. Get to know the parts of yourself that you have hidden from the light. Heal yourself from inside first.
3. Hope
Believe in what you prayed for!
You haven't wasted time when things don't work out. Yes, time has passed and you can't get it back, but now, everything that happened taught you : You are worth so much more than that. You have started to see that even though letting go was one of the hardest things you have ever had to do, now, you can focus on the path before you. Now, you can now take deep breaths knowing that the mere fact that "You're here means your story isn't over yet."
Today may look different from what you planned a year ago, and this is also true : Through every change, now you know, the morning sun still shines. The moon still illuminates the evening sky. And every day, you are starting to see : love is still boundless and so much greater than you imagined it to be. You have had to say goodbye to so many things, and yet, here you are, still finding peace. Still pursuing growth and wisdom, as you become who you were meant to be.

Power to let go of the familiar !
You have came so far. You have learned to let go of what was not right for you. You have learned to step out of the boundaries of your worries, believing that in time, it all would be woven together beautifully. It has not been an easy road, but it has opened your eyes to all of the possibilities of what this life could be, even in your all. In all things great and small, continue to see that even in your thankless, unnoticed work, you are still sowing seeds. You are still making mindful and intentional steps towards where you were meant to be. You are still living a life filled with meaning.
There might be days where you feel that your work is in vain, and there might be moments where you do not know what to do with all of the sudden change, but you are wrapped in endless, boundless grace all the same ; giving you strength every day to breathe deep and keep going, anyway.
5. Trust The Process
No matter how many detours you take or delays you encounter, you will always be led back to where you're meant to be.
Some things you can let go of in the moment. You can shift your perspective or have curiosity rather than judgement. You can choose to be happy rather than needing to show you're right. You can check in at the end of the day and let go. Notice where you missed an opportunity and choose not to carry it into tomorrow.
Some other things take time to process. Some things are buried down where you stored them. Some things are not quite ready. Sometimes you're comfortable in your pain because it's what you know and sometimes you think you have healed something only to revisit it later on a deeper level.
Always you need to be gentle with yourselves and compassionate when it's take us longer than you wanted to let it go.
