Things we Have to Do for Ourselves - (788)

Introduction

We all have a relationship with ourselves that is for sure. How can we deny that?

A part of that relationship with ourselves, just like any other relationship, are responsibilities and things that must be done to keep the balance. Because when there is a relationship balance comes into the picture straight away. Healthy, functional relationships are about balance.

These responsibilities and things that we need to do in the relationship with ourselves are things that we need to do for ourselves. That is they are our job - our responsibility. The interesting thing is that we don’t realise this, we think others should do it for ourselves. When we think that others should do these things that we should do for ourselves we get into suffering and more suffering.

List

Here is a list of all the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves:

• Love ourselves

• Trust ourselves

• Consider ourselves

• Respect ourselves

• Heal ourselves

• Be intimate with ourselves (really delve deep into our ownselves)

• Know ourselves

• Die in ourselves

• Pay our karma

• Transmute our own sexual energy

• Love our divinity

• Awaken our own consciousness

Conclusion

The list above is just a small list of the responsibilities that we have and the things that we have to do for ourselves in the relationship with ourselves.

For me it is pretty important to remember those things, that is to remember that it is our job to love and trust ourselves or love and trust our Being. We get it really wrong when we expect others to do that for us. When we try to get others to love and trust ourselves we always at one point along the way end up in trouble – suffering.
