Love Loves Love
When you hear about self-love, you may have come across the expression “You have to love yourself”. This may be strange at first, as we sometimes come across beliefs that are frowned upon because they focus on just you. But how can someone love you fully if you do not love yourself?
Love loves love.
Therefore love is attracted to love. One big ‘secret’ potion to finding love – sssh – when you feel connected to love at your core, so much so that you are comfortable with it and do not feel the need to go searching elsewhere for it, you get more love coming to you. So how do you connect to your love core?
