		<description><![CDATA[ Have you ever wished yourself away? I am not referring to leaving your precious life on this Earth; but rather, just wished you weren’t a certain way or did not have some particular qualities and mannerisms that were so apparent to you I know I have In the past, I’ve had a very difficult time when others would point out my weaknesses to me, either constructively or not-so tactfully I would think, “ Wow, not only do I think these are big problems I have, but now everyone else sees them as well“ I would hope and pray that these parts of my personality would disappear into the deep character trait abyss I would pretend to myself they weren’t present or I would try my hardest to cover them up I spent a lot of time and energy on hiding these areas that I wanted so desperately to vanish A big first step in learning to love oneself and in self-forgiveness is accepting every part of you as the unique person that you are All of your so-labeled liabilities can be tweaked into assets, but they must first be accepted Otherwise, you are pushing against the grain and not being authentic to your true self Let me give you an example of what I am talking about In all of my past serious relationships, I have loved very passionately- so much so, that I’ve depended on the other person in the relationship for my happiness (what is commonly referred to as co-dependence) My moods depended on their moods, their well-being, or were correlated to the way they were treating me at the time One can argue that this is not really love I feel it was love, but with a very important component missing-that passionate love for myself… With it, the “dysfunctional” one-sided relationships may have flourished or an even more likely scenario~ I would have probably not attracted them in the first place (but that’s a topic for another day) Once I accepted this as a part of my unique persona I was able to direct it in a more healthy manner-passionate love for my child, my work, my family, my faith, and most importantly, myself You may find your dark sides in anger, co-dependence, low self-esteem or a combination of these or other perhaps not so desirable traits We are missing a part of us by wishing these traits weren’t ours and not owning up to every inch of them If we are only loving a part of ourselves or of others, we are not fully engaged in the experience of love You know that feeling of being in a relationship where the other person may “kind of like you” or you “kind of like them“ It doesn’t flourish, and neither party is truly happy It has been said by finding an area in which you have found the most struggles, therein lies your true purpose These are gifts for us to embrace; lessons are presented for us to learn Think of one of your greatest challenges-has that not shaped who you are today]]></description>
