Being Fully Ourselves

"The displeasure of others is no reason to muffle your love.  You do not have to do anything to be loved, and being who you are does not let others down." Mark Nepo

I, like many other humans, have long considered what I needed to do to be loved.  Having some rejections, as we all do, in life helped reinforce for me that a person must need to do or be something in order to count on the love of others.  But that thinking is completely wrong.  Of most importance is to be ourselves.  If we are truly ourselves, we will be loving, creative and kind humans.  That is also, paradoxically, when we are the most attractive to other people, but that is not the point.  The point is to stop trying to figure out what others might want, and - instead - to find out what we want and to honor that and express it as who we truly are.
