Love Your Life
You were born to love your life! But first, love yourself, your personality, your gifts, your looks, your body, your struggles and your passions.
You were born to receive love from the people life brings to you.
You are born to love the history you create and the future of which you dream.
Whatever stops you from loving your life must be pushed aside, understood, rejected and overcome. Become a conscious and determined traveler through life.
Socialization will want to control your journey. Say, "No!"
Socialization will want to shame your adventurous spirit. Say, "No!"
Socialization will want to curtail your determinations. Say, "No!"
Socialization will say you're not thin enough, young enough, attractive enough or smart enough to love your life. Say, "No!"
Reject those messages with all the energy you can muster, because loving your life will let you live longer and healthier.
It is where your life began and where it will end!
Kiss Your Life... 365 Reasons To Love Who You Are

Commentary:
Loving your life sounds so easy, like a presumption that should be taken for granted.
However, loving your life is not so easy in a world that wants you to live a certain way, look
a certain way and spend your days being normal according to cultural dictates.
We all say: "Have Good Day!"
Maybe what we should be saying is: "Love your life today?" or "Love yourself today."
Loving your life is so much more profound than having a good day. Loving your life
makes having a good day possible under any circumstances. It won't mean you're always
happy but it will mean that you know how revive yourself from troubling moments.
We've also heard: Love, is the answer. How can that be if love brings pain we can't foresee?
Love simply put is opening ourselves up to life's drama knowing there is something to learn, wisdom to gain and a Self waiting to be born.
Love is the path you create learning how to live.
Walk it bravely!
- True, we love life, not because we are used to living,
- but because we are used to loving.
- There is always some madness in love,
- but there is also always some reason in madness.
- Petrarch
