Cheryl Besner: To Be Loveable…

It’s such a simple statement, yet it can also be a complex question.

T O… love yourself is the most important element in being able to love another person. If you don’t love you, why would someone else?

B E… you. In allowing yourself to be your authentic self, only then are you fully able to love and be loved.

L O V E… four simple letters that, in the right sequence, spell the most coveted state of being. Love is one of the first words whispered to us by our parents, forever embedding in our hearts and minds the feeling it conjures. To love and be loved is bliss. To love ourselves is where it starts.

A B L E… demonstrates the strength of knowing we can do anything we set out minds to. We are able beings who work hard and play hard. We are able to get up each morning, make breakfast, go to work, socialize with friends. We are able to take care of not only our own needs, but the needs of others. The question is, are you able to give and receive love?

When we break down “to be loveable”, it all seems so straightforward… but mix it all up and what happens to that ABLE person when it comes to LOVE? Does the ABLE person allow themselves TO BE LOVED?

To be loveable, we need to be confident in who we are. We must determine our own values and standards. We have to be our best selves and hold true to our dreams and desires.

So, ask yourself: Are you the most loveable and love-able person you can be?

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting different exercises and readings for you to use and reflect upon.  None of them will take very long to read or do, but I am confident that they will provide you with insight into how you really feel about yourself.

I hope you will give yourself the time to discover and develop the most loveable you. The most loveable you will also be the most dateable you, but that’s a whole other story!
