Louise Hay said that there is only one thing that heals every problem, and that is: to know how to love yourself. Furthermore, when people start to love themselves more each day, it is amazing how their lives get better. They feel better. They get the jobs they want. They have the money they need. Their relationships either improve, or the negative ones dissolve and new ones begin. Today, despite all the things that you think may be terribly wrong with you, no matter how many mistakes you have made, no matter what- love yourself. Love and accept all the different parts of yourself. Today begin to love yourself totally with no expectations. Love is something you can choose, the same way you choose anger, or hate, or sadness. You can choose to forgive someone who has hurt you and begin to finally heal. You can choose to be grateful for what you have. You can choose love. It’s always a choice within you. Begin right now in this moment to choose love. It’s the most powerful healing force there is.

Just for today, I recognize that the greatest gift that I can give myself is unconditional love. I know that loving myself and thinking joyful, happy thoughts is the quickest way to create a wonderful life. I forgive myself for not being perfect. I am worthy of my own love and I love and approve of myself exactly as I am right now. I am an unlimited being, receiving from an unlimited source in an unlimited way. I am enough and all is truly well in my world. And so it is.
