At the essence, we wish to create a better world to live in–one that comes from love. ?We want to change the world.
So we become entrepreneurs, activists, artists, musicians, yoga teachers, politicians, local artisans, public figures.
And then we come home at the end of our busy days, exhausted, burnt out, tripping over our feet with the momentum of “there is work to be done!” ?We collapse.
What if, out of love for the world, we took responsibility for our own selves first and cultivated that love from within? ?What would it look like to be the change we so dearly wish to make on the world?
I have met leaders who practice their own teachings, who live their own medicine and take what they preach to heart. ?They are successful because they know from their own experience that their work makes a difference, because it has made a difference in their own life.
Teachers like this can walk into the room without speaking a word and I get it:
“Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is the essence of Self-Marriage. ?This is what it means to live a life where we create from within. ?Create love, create change from within.
Commit to it: Love yourself. ?Love your life. ?Be the change.
