Welcome to today’s Miracle Moment.
Do you really, deeply, truly love yourself? Do you love yourself unconditionally—not just because you’re good at something, or because you look a particular way—but without reasons or conditions?
Imagine how it would feel to love yourself unconditionally. You wouldn’t wait for permission to do what your heart calls you to do. Your relationships would feel different. You wouldn’t need anyone to tell you that you’re good enough. You’d show up like the superstar you are, AND you’d feel that deeply. This is living in the Miracle Zone.
How do you learn to love yourself like that? You start with simply becoming aware of the love that’s already inside of you.
I (Sue) spent the first part of my life thinking that my value had to do with what I accomplished. I focused on what I could accomplish in order to feel worthy of love or to fit in.
During a particularly challenging and stressful time, my relationship was ending and my mother had just passed away. I was being asked to speak in a number of places, and while I was drawn to do that, I was maxed out from the pressure of trying to “perform” to get other’s approval.
One day, as I was going to work, I forgot something and went back home to get it. As I went towards the closet, I walked past my bed and just collapsed onto it. I felt like I was falling into a deep dark well, where I was overwhelmed. As I was falling deeper, spinning and turning, I gave myself permission to just let it happen, to just let go, and an amazing sense of joy I’d never felt before rose up in me.
It was the most extraordinary experience of a deep and centered sensation of self-love. It didn’t matter if nothing that I’d been working on worked out. The only one that mattered, even if everything else fell away, was that at least I have me. In that moment, my mind found the real me—the radiant soul I am and that each of us are.
In that space, self-love is a byproduct. It’s not something that we try to do. It’s something that we relax and release into, and then self-love arises.
The experience of self-love is a result of acceptance and surrender. Instead of rejecting circumstances or any parts of ourselves, allow and surrender…come what may.
Our invitation to you is to try an experiment in the upcoming days: Instead of rejecting or criticizing any aspects of yourself, welcome whatever you feel with compassion and love. Accept every part of yourself as the divine being you truly are.
As you welcome the parts of you that you feel are not very acceptable, the feelings will actually start to melt into love. And love is really all there is.
If you want love to be present, choose to melt, to soften yourself, even just for moment. In that instant, your true, loving, soulful self is revealed.
We end today’s Miracle Moment with a quote from Louise Hay who said…
“I find that when we really love and accept and approve of ourselves exactly as we are, then everything in life works.”
We send you many wishes for a life that’s full of unconditional self-love!
That was so great, thanks so much. I will make it a practice and do it daily.
Thank you for the beautiful, loving inspirational quote of loving thy self and letting go of thy self the process to take place so better things can come our ways.
Reading this at a good time in my life. My mom passed away in October and I’m dealing with lots of emotions. A dear friend shared your link with me. Thank yoy
Thank you for this gift. I believe in magic moments. I will try to love myself more and more. Have a wonderful day!

if people could get to the point of loving themselves a weight would be lifted from their shoulders….IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE, BECAUSE THEY KNOW, DEEP DOWN COMES THE FEELING OF DISCOMFORT FROM WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING AND WHAT THEY DO!!!!
Not necessarily so. I was taught since childhood how flawed I really was and cannot look in a mirror and ever be content. I cannot stand to hear my voice. I was taught love can only come from the Lord – self love is vain.
Karen, it saddens me to hear that you’ve been taught overtly to deny giving love to your self.
It’s not that the Lord won’t love you, but it does not stop you from loving your self. After all it was said that the Lord said to love others as you love your self, and the Lord loving you is to teach you to love your self. If you don’t love your self how can you truly love others.
We are perfectly imperfect! When we accept our self with all our imperfections we are loving our self perfect! Nothing vain about that, all that’ll happen is the imperfections becomes less and less.
Self love can be mis-understood to be selfish, however, this is something else. We are not loving our self at the exclusion and expense of others, but their inclusion and benefit. It is a healthy, win-win situation!
To your self love, Karen! With love from Eunice G N Payg : )
I love myself but find that I feel not accepted and rejected with family and friends most times. So I often keep quiet and smile to fit in. Is it my personality?
Thank you for those words, i have experienced this today where i broke down and thought i cant do this anymore, i am used to doing for others and forgetting myself so thank you for making me feel that i do matter and it is okay to say no without guilt and look after me.
I am 80yrs old, a 3 yr widow of an incredible 60yr marriage, 5 kids in the 1st 6 yrs 2 more after 40. I am the poster child for would of, could of, should of, I am now learning to really love myself! when we really accept who we are, a divine spirit living in a physical body, we begin to feel like a superwoman who just got their power suit on and is learning how to fly!!!! I am studying energy healing, writing a book, and working on my stand up motivational speaking engagements, and TED TALKS. Just go for it!!!
Wow! I’m so impressed…please let me know more about you, particularly when you do your TED talk…
Ahhh…the spice of Ginger!
I am close on your heels at 77 yo and forging a new and extremely challenging path in my life. I have written and am producing an animated/live action musical. It is in development and the screenplay and music has won quite a few awards. This is a daunting task, but I will not be daunted.
My 50 years of living in the Miracle Zone has sustained me throughout the twists and turns of my story. Here I am, again, joining with these courageous journeyers and giving, as well as seeking, the support to carry on. Bless you!
I am very ultimately liked the 12annual taping presentations about miracles and i am ready to joining and participating your knowledge of astrology and how to improve my frequency of rewiring my mind in positive objectives.
Lovely! Even though I have not signed up this year, your message today fed me generously and I feel renewed and more positive and loving towards ME!
Bless you,
Anne Marie
I so often feel that I must be strong, come what may. Most of my life, when adversity challenged me, I told myself, “This will make me strong”.
Now, I am learning to accept the soft parts of my self in Love and Grace. Thank you for opening and allowing that sweetness to shine through!
Beautiful!
My beloved significant other of eight years died January 8 after five terrible weeks in the hospital. On the 30th. I launched a collection of my just published poetry. I have been having to live on so many levels – deep, devastating grief, pride of accomplishment, juggling so many balls at such a vulnerable time – this was the perfect story to read at the perfect time! Thank you!!
What timing. I was just thinking about the greatest love song “I Melt With You” by Modern English. I wish there were more songs like that, but about loving ourself first and unconditionally. Thank you for this heart-warming reminder to do just that.
Thank you so much, Marci Shimoff and Dr. Sue Morter.
This felt so relieved, but frequently my mind is too busy, especially when been attacked continuously and been disrupt from all direction. I want to say, this is very good when I found many people in a society that already put integrity and love in top priority. This circumstances already made me changed a lot even in a terrible way.
Finally, I am grateful for what emerge inside me and in my life which never been in my wildest dream.
Namaste and be blessed in All – Ways
I completely understand the feeling of melting. I have recently been practicing loving kindness in my meditation sessions. And I have been having the sensation of my heart breaking. Then, the other day I realised that it is not my heart that is breaking, it is the wall around my heart that is starting to break.
I had just been considering some online courses that require group participation. I enjoyed telling myself that currently, I’m a loner, so these courses, while the topics interest me, are not in the right format for me. I was happy to see myself accept that about myself. 🙂 Also (where did I read this hint? is it from Louise hay?), I’ve been practicing looking in the mirror and saying “I love you; I really love you.” Not so easy at first. But the woman in the mirror wants to hear it; and I can offer it.
Thank you Beautiful Ladies
To waken the World to Love our self ❤️
Good explanations of love to yourself.
Yes beautiful, but take care about NPD and other who they love themselves but damnage the other. Really take care
Thank you so much for your wise lessons. Wish I had learned all this when I was young. My whole life would have been very different.
But, better late than never.
Thank you for today’s moment
Truly having love for myself has always been a struggle. Conditions were always placed or were the ruler for me. Over the years and great diligence I like who I have become and have gotten this far through self acceptance and surrender. However, would take it back if I didn’t feel I met the bar. Because surrendering in my mind was like quitting. In today’s lesson on self love could be my turning point which came from The part about love and actually melting. Easy to visualize in how I feel of others but never got the concept in regards to self but that has now changed because
I really heard that part of self acceptance again with the additional important piece softening oneself I was missing.
Thank you
