Self-Love Is an Adventure, Not a Destination
A Monthly Column By Sharon Salzberg for On Being
Published February 13, 2018
Real love allows for failure and suffering. All of us have made real mistakes, and some of those mistakes were consequential, but you can find a way to relate to them with kindness. No matter what troubles have befallen you or what difficulties you have caused yourself or others, with love for yourself you can change, grow, make amends, and learn. Real love is not about letting yourself off the hook. Real love does not encourage you to ignore your problems or deny your mistakes and imperfections. You see them clearly and still opt to love.
