I want to talk to you about the DIRTY, GRITTY, PUT ON YOUR STEEL TOE BOOTS SIDE OF SELF LOVE. SURPRISE! SELF LOVE IS HARD WORK AND HEART WORK. It’s a mind, heart, body, soul, and spirit connection.
Are you sure you want to REALLY, REALLY love yourself? Because if you do, you are going to have to REALLY, REALLY WORK. It involves change, action, and it involves being honest with yourself and others. It involves evolving your thoughts and confronting uncomfortable feelings and situations.
Heart work is HARD WORK.

It is no different than any type of legitimate love. Marriage, dating, church, it is all hard work if done right. It can also be the best work ever.
