In this Tao Dialogues, David explores the topic of self-love and self-compassion.
Have you ever wondered why you find it easy to love others but struggle to direct that same love inward? Do you often seek validation from external sources, believing your worth must be earned? Have you ever felt disconnected from yourself, as if your emotions and thoughts belong to someone else? This episode explores the answers to these questions.
Many believe love is something external, a gift to be received rather than a force that originates within. Yet, if we look deeper, we see that love is an incredible emotion that we create. Like the Tao, it is boundless and flows effortlessly when we allow it.
