No one can love me like I can!

A while back I listened to someone who made the statement that no one can love me the way I want to be loved. The only person that can love me exactly according to my desire is ME... 

This resonated with me. My personal experience is that no one truly gets what is going on in my head. How would they be able to? Even if it was possible for me to verbalize my thoughts and desires one hundred percent accurately, they will still not be able to comprehend what my feelings are. The only person that is able to GET ME, is ME. 

This is profound because it means that only I am responsible for my own wellbeing. I cannot depend on others to take care of me. I have to take care of myself. I have to look after my own physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual needs.

I am not denying the importance of external input in my life, I am simply saying that I cannot depend on external sources for my happiness, or to add color to my life. I need to do that for myself. I need to find the things that make me happy and invest time and recourses to make them part of my everyday life. 

For me those things are gardening, creating art, being with my family, etc.

But to truly enjoy it to its fulness I need to be in the moment, present, in contact with myself. If I allow my mind to wonder to the past, or if I am worried about the future, I usually miss out on my present reality.  

Therefor I need to value my wellbeing enough to make time for these things, and I need to focus my thoughts on the present moment. Because I cannot change the past and I am not in control of the future. I Just have this moment, and at this very moment everything is well with my soul!!!
