Beyond the Unseen Battle: Embracing the Duality Within
We are all born into an invisible battle, aren’t we? We fight to be the light, the beacon that pierces the shadows. But in that relentless pursuit, we can become consumed by proving ourselves, inadvertently creating deeper darkness. We try to bury those shadows, like a weed buried under a pile of dirt denied sunlight, but they only grow stronger, ultimately threatening the very light we strive to project. This struggle feels like a war – David against Goliath, a relentless fight for victory. But the truth is, these battles rarely have clear winners. The battlefield is littered with casualties, those hurt by the conflict, and those who emerge, not victorious, but as students. Imagine a pendulum swinging between darkness and light. The stronger the light shines, the deeper the opposing shadow.It's an eternal dance, not a war to be won. For years, I was locked in this dance, my movements rigid, frustration mounting with every misstep. The harder I fought, the more tangled I became. My kindness could be perceived as harshness, my confidence as brash, and wisdom as foolishness. The truth blurred, and the lie I told myself – "I am only good" – threatened to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. At some point, we are all given the gift if we choose to see it and learn; that darkness isn't an enemy to vanquish. It's part of the human tapestry, interwoven with the light. Denying it only fuels its power. We must learn to dance with both. Kindness and wisdom co-exist with frustration and doubt. That's what makes us human. Imagine a magnificent tapestry, not just threads of gold, but also threads of deepest night. Together, they create a masterpiece of breathtaking complexity. When I finally embraced this duality within myself, the light I exuded became more genuine, more radiant. It wasn't about being the brightest; it was about letting my own unique light shine. So let your story write itself. Learn to dance in the duality of life. Embrace the dance of darkness and light within. In that dance lies the strength, the beauty, and the authentic truth of who we are. Don't worry about what others project. The truth is revealed eventually. There's nothing to prove. Perfect your dance. Remember, we are not destined to be victims. We can choose to be students, ever learning in the dance of life.

What is self-love? Self-love is an intention in ourself to love ourself. We can love ourself. But, self-love is a part of learning. A baby can never love him/her-self if they never learn to be loved by their parents. So... What is actually self-love? Can we actually love ourself even if we hated?
