Friday’s meditation is dedicated to love, and today’s wisdom from Anita Moorjani hits all the marks. One of the most profound lessons she learned from her near-death experience was the importance of self-love. She discovered that by accepting and loving herself unconditionally, she was able to heal her body and spirit. This insight challenges the belief that we might have been raised with, that we must be perfect to be worthy of love.
If you’ve ever felt unworthy of love, you’re not alone. Many of us carry the belief that love is a reward earned through perfection. This misconception can lead to a deep-seated fear of being fundamentally unlovable. Anita’s journey from near-death to healing offers profound insights into the power of unconditional love.
“In the tapestry of life, we’re all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.” – Anita Moorjani
“One of the biggest lessons I learned from nearly dying of cancer is the importance of loving myself unconditionally. In fact, learning to love and accept myself unconditionally is what healed me and brought me back from the brink of death.” – Anita Moorjani
“When I’m BEING love, I don’t get drained, and I don’t need people to behave a certain way in order to feel cared for or to share my magnificence with them. They’re automatically getting my love as a result of me being my true self. And when I am nonjudgmental of myself, I feel that way toward others.” – Anita Moorjani
“Learning to love others begins with learning to love ourselves unconditionally first. I will never let myself down, treat myself like a doormat, or make myself small so others can feel big. I have learned that this is the biggest gift that I give not only to myself, but also to the planet, because I paint others with the same brush as I use on myself.” – Anita Moorjani
“Unconditional Love is our birthright, not judgement or condemnation, and there’s nothing we need to do to earn it. This is simply who and what we are.” – Anita Moorjani
Love is what we are, our natural state. It is not something that we need to work for and qualify for only if we’re “good enough”, and it’s not something we give only to those who qualify when they are “good enough”.
What disconnects us from love is fear, and the worst of these is the fear of being fundamentally unlovable. If you’ve grown up with the message that you only qualify for love when you’re perfect, then you might really be struggling with feeling loved because you know that you’re not perfect, and that must mean that you’re not lovable!
So many of us suffer deeply from this and no matter how many people love you, say they love you, show that they love you, if you believe that you have to be perfect before you can be loved, then it’s very hard or even impossible to let any of that love in.
No one can love you hard enough to fix this, but you. Your own love is the only force that can break through these walls you have built against love and this is where all of our self-work lies.
How do you love YOU? Can you be kind to YOU when you make mistakes? Do you love YOU, even when you’re at your worst?
Affirming your worth unconditionally:
- “I am worthy of love, regardless of my imperfections.”
- “I choose to love myself unconditionally.”
- “I am kind and compassionate towards myself.”
- “I am grateful for who I am.”
- “I am a portal for love to flow into the world.”
This is available to you too! And my biggest wish for you is for you to fall in love with YOU. It requires courage, self-compassion, and a willingness to embrace your true self. By cultivating a loving relationship with yourself, you’ll discover the transformative truth that you are worthy of love, just as you are.
Have a beautiful Friday beautiful humans!
