Weekly: Loved as you are
Old Happy: "I have to change to be loved."
New Happy: "I deserve to be loved for who I am."
When you have to hide who you are... you suffer.
When you can be who you are... you can feel more joy, build meaningful relationships, and contribute to the world.
But when you are loved for who you are... oh, that's when you really grow, in ways that you can't presently imagine. It's what connects you to your truest self, and allows you to step into greater and greater becomings of that self.
That's why one of the greatest gifts we can give someone is to love them, exactly as they are. And it's why the greatest gift we can receive is having someone love us for who we are.
Old Happy culture will tell you that growth is all about what you do for yourself: your choices, your habits, your risks, your successes. But the truth is that growth is also about what we do for each other.
(This is one of the reasons why our New Happy Book Club has been so transformational for the thousand+ people who have gone through it—because it helps you to connect with people who will embrace you for who you are, without condition or restriction. It's unlike anything that I've ever experienced before, and I want you to know what it's like. Sign up here.)
