Your Ego loves you….and if you listen to it….It will love you to death.

Fear is just a lie we tell ourselves until we find the courage to rewrite our story.

Love is all You Need

Today is Valentine’s Day and love is in the air. Everywhere you turn all you see is LOVE!

I will admit, my first reaction to hearing this sentiment is often an eye roll. The pessimist in me wants to scoff at its simplicity, at the seemingly naive notion that love alone can solve everything. But then, I take a step back and really think about what it means.

When you strip away the noise of daily life – our ambitions, struggles, fears and joys – what remains at the core of everything? Love. No, really…think about it. Love is the foundation of our deepest motivations, or most meaningful relationships, and our sense of self worth. It’s not just about romantic love; it extends far beyond that. Love of Self. Love of family. Love of life itself.

The things we cherish most, we nurture. We protect them, we invest in them, and in doing so, we allow them to flourish. When we start with the simple yet profound act of loving ourselves, an incredible ripple effect begins. Confidence grows. Self-esteem strengthens. We begin to move through the world in a “just so way” with authenticity and purpose. When we live authentically, opportunities…both personal and professional begin to unfold before us in ways we never imagined.

Loving yourself doesn’t mean arrogance or self absorption; it means recognizing your worth, treating yourself with kindness, and embracing the journey of growth. From this foundation, we build stronger relationships, make more meaningful contributions and find deeper fulfillment in our daily lives.

So, as much as my inner skeptic may resist, I have to admit there is truth in the phrase “Love is all you need”. Because at its core, love is what drives us, heals us, and connects us to something greater than ourselves.

This Valentine’s Day, let’s reflect on love in all its forms…not just the romantic kind, but the love that fuels our passions, strengthens our connections, and allows us to show up as our best selves. Because when love is the foundation, everything else has space to grow.

Prema!
