I remember clearly, there was a point in my life where I was running on empty. I had achieved a kind of success according to society's standards, but a fundamental part of me felt hollow, barren – as if I was a well, cracked and leaking, with no water left to give. That was when I knew it was time for a change. A breakthrough.

Does that resonate with you? Feel familiar? We're not all that different, you and I. Just human beings, trying our best to navigate through this interesting muddle we call life.

I want you to think for a moment about the people you love most in your world. Those individuals you would move mountains for, dance through fire, do anything to bring a smile to their faces. Now, consider this – when was the last time you nurtured that same intense, unconditional love towards the person you see in the mirror?

It’s a hard question, I know. But crucially important because here's an indispensable fact: without a strong love within yourself, there won't be anything to extend to others. True love, real self-love, overflow – it is all interconnected, all one.

Now, you might question, “How can I cultivate this self-love, this appreciation for my own being?” Truly, there's no easy answer. It's a journey, an intricate labyrinth where each left turn and dead-end bring you closer to the heart of things.

But, here’s some wisdom I've gathered along my own path. Insight shared not from a pedestal of perfection, but as a fellow traveler down this sometimes challengingly beautiful road of life.

Start by accepting that you are not here to be perfect. You are here to be human, to make mistakes, to tumble and rise. And every stumble, every falter, shapes you into a uniquely resplendent masterpiece. There's something extraordinary about acknowledging your humanity, your flaws, and still looking at that reflection with eyes filled with warmth and acceptance.

Make a commitment to respect and protect yourself. Set boundaries and honor them. Understand that it's okay to say ‘no'. The world won’t crumble. Your worth doesn't shrink with every time you choose your peace of mind over pleasing others.

Invest time in your passions, whatever they may be. Reignite that spark inside of you, that joy that makes you feel alive, vibrant. Gardening, music, dance, art – let yourself delve into what you love, awaken the flame in your soul.

Stay patient. Understand that just as a seed requires time, nourishment, and care to bloom into a flower, your journey towards self-love requires patience and perserverance. So trust the process, enjoy the progress, no matter how slow it may seem.

Let's pause for a moment. How are you feeling? Is there a tad more understanding? Or a spark of curiosity? Good. Embrace it, lean into it, because here’s the deal: only when you cultivate love within can you send it without, abundantly. This overflowing love you nurture for yourself will inevitably ripple out into the world around you, touching lives and creating a difference. And that isn't just beautiful, it's transformative.

Just imagine for a moment, a world where everybody loved themselves deeply, truly. Seamless love pouring from each individual like rays from the sun. A kind of enduring happiness that is as solid as bedrock, as expansive as the sky. Sounds like a utopia, doesn’t it? But why shouldn't reality strive to emulate that? After all, utopias are but visions of what we can potentially be, and it all starts with you.

So, are you ready to start this journey, fellow traveler? To venture on this path of introspection and self-discovery, to create fertile ground within you where the seed of self-love can thrive and bloom? Realize that every step you take along this journey doesn't just change you, it changes your world. You, too, are a Success Insider with limitless potential waiting to be tapped. So let's embark on this transformative course, full of love, empathy and abundance.

And remember, “It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” – Mandy Hale.
