 Daily Reflection – Loving Myself Through All Emotions

Tonight is another beautiful evening, filled with many emotions all at once. But instead of letting them drain me, I chose to fall deeper in love with myself. Anytime something hurts my feelings, I take it as an opportunity to care for myself more. Over the past few days, I’ve seen rejection, ego, and misunderstanding — in people, in systems, and in how I’m treated — and yet, I’ve also seen clarity.

I’ve realized that much of what I experience now is tied to material things; if my situation looked different on the outside, people would treat me differently. But the truth is, spiritual clarity costs nothing. Even when I don’t like what I see, I sit with my emotions and let them teach me. I jog, meditate, and walk, and the universe answers back — like the stranger who gave me $20 today, a sign that I am being seen and guided, even in ways others don’t understand.

This is why I practice honesty and self-love. The emotions that drive others to numb themselves are the same emotions I use to become stronger, clearer, and more in tune with my higher self. I am the guru. The answer is within me.
