Whenever someone accepts you completely, unconditionally, you begin to change.
Acceptance gives you such courage. When there is someone who loves you just as you are, do you notice the miracle of changing happening, how soon it turns into a quick transformation? The very fact that you are loved and accepted just as you are, that nothing is expected from you, it warms you, it animates you, it integrates you, it gives you confidence. It makes you feel that you EXIST. That you don't have to meet any outside expectations, that youβre true Being is respected and loved.
Even if you find one single person who respects you completely (because any judgment proves a lack of respect), that accepts you as you are, that doesn't demand anything of you, that says: "Be yourself. Be authentic. I love you. I love you, not what you do. I love you as you are in the depths of your Being, I don't care about your outside shell or your clothes. I love your being, not what you have. I'm not worried about what you have, I care about one thing: What you are. And you are extraordinary beautiful!"
This is LOVE. This is why Love fulfills us so deeply. Love and accept yourself first and know, that whenever you find a woman or a man who simply loves you for no reason, just for the sake of love, that kind of love transforms! π
There is only one way to love people, and that is to love them as they are. Here lays the beauty: that when you love them as they are, they change; not according to your reality ~ they change according to their own reality. When you love them, they transform. They don't convert, they transform. They are renewed, they expand, they reach new dimensions of their being. But that happens inside them, according to their own nature.
Suddenly you become a different person, one that you've never been, you remember YOU, you become YOU. Suddenly all the sadness disappears, all difficulties disappear. Your steps will be turned into a dance and your heart will sing the song.
