Life is a single, individual, and seemingly lonesome journey for us all. This is because the journey is more so an inner journey experienced within us, than it is an outward external journey happening outside of us. We are constantly striving to find something external for us to compensate for what we believe is lacking within us. I believe you may have concluded that this desirous fix will never work, no matter how often you have tried it. Trying to fill an inner void with external means is fruitless. We must endeavor to find within ourselves the treasures we have hidden away from ourselves due to our life’s hurtful disempowering experiences. When we uncover these treasures, which are latent within us, we empower ourselves to live rich, rewarding, and healthy lives. If we cannot maintain a healthy and loving relationship with ourselves as individuals, we will always depend on others to give us what we are not giving ourselves. This degree of blind dependence on others will consistently put a strain on the relationship, and the weight of the strain will cause the relationship to eventually break fall apart (or to become co-dependent and unhealthy).When we take the time to get to know ourselves, and become compassionate with that self, and nurture that self, we reveal what has been hidden away from the self as an individual. We then honor our self, enabling the self to honor the self in all relationships. It is then we have raised our vibration through the self-healing of self-fulfillment. This is what is meant by honoring yourself. Taking care of yourself, and growing, nurturing, and evolving, yourself into maturity.
