Loving
the self involves faith and trust and belief in who you are, and a
willingness to take action upon your trust in yourself. It is not
enough to feel that faith and trust; you need to experience it in your
outer world. You are a physical being, and joy comes from seeing around
you those things that express your inner beauty - a garden, flowers,
trees, your house, the ocean. All of these are the rewards of acting
upon and trusting yourself, of following your path and vision with
action. The ultimate challenge of self-love is to act upon it, to speak
up to people and to create in the world your heaven on earth.
