The paradox of loving the ugly.

I read this article today and really fell in love with the exercise: http://www.chopra.com/community/online-library/tips/the-mirror-of-relationship My blog is all about emotional freedom being the best individual God made us to be so we can then give our best to others. Are you comfortable with your own paradoxes? What have your negative reactions been about others behaviors or personalities and what part of yourself have you been rejecting and denying? Can you accept what you think are negatives and the dark side in yourself being human? Could it be possible that the negatives may not be so negative at all when handled appropriately and what could those possible benefits be? What would that do for yourself and could that even be an asset to your life and others?

I am having a ton of fun with this. I laugh at my love of giving and how I hate takers..but when I think about it it that leaves me a way out from getting my needs met let alone identify them. I am needy just like everyone else and have needs that would require taking..but strangely, I can hide behind hating takers so I don't have to identify that I have needs too and take responsibility for meeting those needs myself. That would be opening up to others to have those needs met. Instead, I have focused on others and not had to get real. Hating myself takes a lot of energy, and blaming others, though fun directing that self hate in the opposite direction, doesn't help nor solve my problem. Lol. Learn to love yourself like no one else and that will be one of your greatest gifts to the world sharing the unique expression you were made to be and through that you can only truly love others.

Anyone else want to share their thoughts on any paradoxes they have noticed in there lives?

Much Love,
