Permission to Love

By Marilyn Allen



I have often wondered why some people seem to be 'lucky' in love and others are not. Perhaps people who are not ready to love their inner selves do not have capacity to love others, but how do they know this? Well, would it not be a wonderful thing to try and make time for ourselves as individuals, to understand what we need and want and give ourselves permission to love ourselves for who we are? Would that not be preferable to trying to be what others want us to be in order to be and feel loved? Surely it would be tiring to pretend to be someone  just so you can be loved, because, when you eventual reveal who you truly are ....

Be proud of who you are. Give yourself permission to love. Be happy.
