Well… Have you? I think for most of us, learning to love and accept ourselves unconditionally is a process… But if we really want to experience true love in it’s purest and ultimate form, we have to love ourselves! There’s no getting around it!
It’s unfortunate, but so many of us are conditioned to believe that we need “proof” from other people in order to feel worthy or feel love… We fail to recognize the infinite and unconditional source of love that is within us already! When we come to realize that we are LOVE ITSELF, we stop seeking it and craving it elsewhere… And it’s only then will we even be capable of truly loving another…
I made an important video about this and even though it’s a tad bit long, try and watch the whole thing. I have a great visualization and analogy to share with you…

So… let’s affirm the love we have for ourselves by proclaiming it here…
I LOVE ME!!

I agree! Time to love ourselves! I’m ready to hop on the LOVE TRAIN!
I LOVE ME!
Hey,
You are right. I agree 100% with you.
I’am onboard with you and I LOVE ME.
Katie,
Wow, I am impressed that you not only understand, but have the self confidence to share what unconditional love and the necessity to love thy self before one can true give themself to another unconditionally.
I would love to meet you Katie, just so I can say I did. Just maybe we could be friends, for I know you make a great friend, I just can tell. When life becomes really difficult who is the one we stop loving? Well for me, I stop or better said diminish loving myself when I need it the most. Sexual intimacy without love is empty and a subconscious plea for the individual to find love in themself. Once found, the lure of loveless relationships are no longer an addiction or temptation. Loving unconditionally and not just giving, but receiving is so wonderful most never will look further. I know the wonder, but even unconditional love can grow weak, and be lost. I am finding my love again, and everyday is better than the previous. I know without a doubt I will be blessed with not just my own self love, even better to give unconditionally which will eventually be recipricated, AGREE Katie?
LOVE me then you
Alex
Hi Katie,
LOVE has been in my thoughts and meditation this morning. So it was a “namaste” moment to read your beautiful post. My thought today is – approach every situation with love – and just watch what will become of it!
Thank you for your insight!
Nancy
Thanks Katie…
I loved this video, and I am gonna make sure
that this LOVE TRAIN…. continues beyond the
language borders…
Look for the TREN DEL AMOR … very soon
for the SPANISH SPEAKING PEOPLE that cant
understand your message directly…
Love Your Affirmation…
I LOVE ME… I LOVE MYSELF…
ME QUIERO… ME AMO….
I leave you all with a question…
before thinking, before doing anything,
ask yourself FIRST this QUESTION:
WHAT WOULD LOVE DO?
Incredible post, Katie… MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS!!
Greetings from Mexico,
Rafa
Katie,
How wonderful and true! I am always amazed by your articles. Self-love is self-awareness, a life-long process… if you choose to do it. It is good to remember however, you don’t really need to love yourself perfectly to love another. Being in love, and working on it together, with another, can lead to a greater understanding of self and the love within us all. We are all capable of fully loving another… now; we don’t have to wait until we fully realize the love in ourselves. There is a Divine plan to needing someone, and it is not wrong to have that need.
YES Katie, I will join U in this love train,WHY? Because I already love myself that much!and I like this IDEA!!!
I am at the beginning of this process, Loving thyself, boosting my self esteem and self worth and it is not always an easy journey. Thanks for sharing this was perfect timing.
Hi Katie,
Great message and YES I’m on board!
I agree, you must love yourself
before you can love others…
“I LOVE ME!”
Now let’s ALL spread the LOVE!
More Life To All!

Katie,
I have enjoyed your videos silently for quite some time now and this one has inspired me to finally make a comment. To me, you are coming into alignment with the “Purpose of Life” here, at least as I perceive it. I’m on board the Love Train with you!
Here are some links to something that I have enjoyed since 1973.

I invite you and others reading to also enjoy.
Thank you for loving you!

“…Some say love is like a hunger, a never ending need….
I say love is like a flower, and you have sown the seed.” from the song the rose.
God is Love, and we are all View Points of God…therefore we are all Love. “Love the Lord thy God with all you soul, all your heart, and will all your might, and love others as Jesus Loves you.’
It is more importaint to give love than to recieve love.

“Love with out conditions and you will be enlightened” Siva Baba
I will be happy to not only get on the “Love Train” but will help shovel coal to keep it running. Wfred
Katie –
I remember when I first met JB and I was telling him my story and how I wanted my life to look, he looked me deeply in the eyes and asked me, “How much does Johnny love Johnny?”
I really had to think about that. Sometimes good friends have to come along and remind us of the important things in life.
Great vid.
Namaste,
Johnny
Thanks again Katie! Now I have that song in my head too….AND I LOVE IT!
Quinn
Katie –
What a beautiful and powerful message. I completely agree with your comments and have been on that love train for quite a while. This principle is a core tenant to manifesting a perpetually abundant life.
I applaud you for this authentic and empowering message and I wish for you every blessing in manifesting the life of your dreams.

Hi Katie -
“I LOVE” MYSELF” so much that if I belived in reincarnation, I would want to come back as myself

New American Standard Bible ©
The Excellence of Love
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3 And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.
Amen.
When Joe McClendon shares the stage with Tony Robbins at his awesome events, he puts it another way…
I freaking ROCK!!!
I love me.
This Love Train keeps on rollin! Toot toot!!
Hi Katie
Very inspirational video. The world does need to hear this.
That is why we are here to love ourselves and we come to love ourselves even more.

Diana Bekkerman’s last blog post.."Brook" by Vyacheslav Shevchenko
Hello Katie, that was great I really needed to hear that right now I am so hard on myself I expect a lot from myself I am a perfectionist and that drives me and enables me to succeed and achieve amazing things but the flip side to that is that I find it hard to accept myself unless I am achieving a lot each day! That makes it hard to switch off and relax sometimes because you feel like you shouldn’t but self awareness is my saving grace I know I need to relax so I force myself to sometimes! I know when enough is enough and I go to the beach and breathe in the fresh air
Or I might skip or run for a hour or so I find that working out running or swimming or doing anything that gets you out of breath puts back what you take out, that for me that is self love I LOVE ME
Thank you Katie
You are the greatest Katie, thanks for helping me remember that I do love me!!! love me love me and love me..
thanks Katie!
Thanks for your message, Love is always the answer!

I love love love me! And you as well
Thank you for sharing the love.
Katie,
Thanks so much for the reminder that we need to join the love train!
As an author, life coach and recovering gambling addict the biggest message I convey is that we need to accept ourselves and show ourselves the greatest love we have to give. We need to become our own biggest fans!
I am a magnificent human being and I know that my light will help others shine as well. Yes! Thanks for spreading the word…

I was inspired by a singer this morning who sang the lyrics, “step into love”. Thank you for reminding me to “step into love” for myself. Thanks Katie for having the courage to talk about love.
Loving myself, loving others.
-MaryAnn
I love me and accept me for who I am and who I am becoming…
Yo Ma ! You got it down ! You are doing it !
In the Meantime…that’s where a lot of people are !
It’s time to dive in the now ! LOVE NOW and ALWAYS !
There is this book called “in the mean time…finding yourself and the love you want” by Iyanla Vanzant. Iyanla give a simple “cleaning process/journey” to get to this place….of I LOVE ME !
I LOVE EVERY PARTS OF MYSELF AND I LOVE MY WHOLE ME !
thanks for sharing !
Much love See-star !
I am the mashinist on that love train and I LOVE shoveling coal to make the thing advance.
Hi Katie,
What a Fantastic idea and concept. All of humanity would certainly benefit from the “Love-Train” if they were to truly apply the principle whole heartly.
God bless and prosper you!

Hi Katie
Loving YourSelf / MySelf is probably one of the most important steps in life and stepping into a very new reality.
I´m on board! wishing all beings on this train the experience of unbound and unconditional love on earth and through all dimensions. Don´t let it be only on our mental level! and stay open for the experince…
“It´s my Choice and my Intent to see and to feel Love everywhere i go AND to infect everybody around me with the feeling of loving themSelfes and the game of creation”
Thx,
Esther
I love myself!
I love you! 
and I love everyone! 
Love the idea of your love train. I am definitely hopping on. This has been a hard journey at times for me, to love me. But definitely worth it. I can say I LOVE ME now. And by being able to say that in love, has also allowed me to appreciate others and love others deeper. Heres to giving the love train a big TOOT TOOT whistle blow.
Love is the lifeforce for all parts of a human existence… Remove it and distorsion is created..
Ulla MM H’s last blog post..Are You a Bit Sluggish, or Low of Energy? Here Is The Cure..
Katie,
Beautifully expressed, and I couldn’t agree with you more. You’re a pure inspiration. Unconditional Love is ultimate, unlimited Source. God is Love.
Thanks for reminding us.
I’m excited to see you using Google Friend Connect too. I hope you’re in Brian Campbell’s free GFC Directory at:
http://friendconnectcentral.com/
You would fit like a glove in several categories. I help moderate Personal Development & Spirituality.
It would also be wonderful to see you involved in the Manifest Mastermind community where there’s a Whole Lotta Love and support for becoming the Magnificent One you are created to be.

Love is not coincidental because it is ‘always happening’…just as it was when I was led to your beautiful video tonight. I congratulate you on your courage to open your heart so big to the world and fear nothing ugly can get in! Love to you and blessings that you will touch others the same way that ‘love’ has touched you!
Carla
Wow, this love train is already so beautiful, radiant, and powerful!! You are all so amazing and I appreciate each one of you! Thank you for recognizing the inherent beauty within yourselves and sharing your love with the community here. I feel so blessed
Katie, you are a “rare” flower! It is a joy to walk thru your garden.
If your love-train is full, would you mind if I ride on the roof?
Hi Katie,
I am a Yoga teacher, and I have been taught and teach this and forget this. LOL
What an incredible reminder. What a beautiful way of sharing yourself and your gifts…I can feel it. My own love is a wellspring that I affirm today. Thank you.
Shine on.

Katie,
Thanks for sharing this message. I think it may be one of those really important ones that each of us need to constantly be remiding ourselves of.
I wanted to ask you a question. According to your metaphore of the roses and seeds, how then would one nurture his/her own seeds? What would nurturing them look like?
Thanks again and I look forward to your reply.
-Ronit (pronounced: Row-neet)
Hey Ronit… That’s a great question and I appreciate you asking it! Well, in order to really ‘know’ the infinite love that already exists in our hearts, and to nurture that seed of it’s realized potential, all we really need to do is put our attention there. Energy flows where attention goes. We also need to realize that ‘seeking’ love outside of ourselves is never going to really give us what we’re truly looking for. We can get satisfaction from and cherish the love that comes from others, but if we don’t know that the SOURCE of love is within, we’ll never really feel complete. So to nurture the seed, start to feel the love from deep inside you, starting from inside the heart, and let it illuminate your entire body. From there, you can imagine the love radiantly shining FROM your heart and outward to touch everyone else. Just put your attention on FEELING how much love is already inside you… And eventually you’ll realize that everything you’ve ever truly wanted was inside you already. One of my favorite quotes is from Meister Eckhart, a spiritual teacher who lived hundreds of years ago… He says you’ll come to find that ‘I am what I wanted and I want what I am’. Simple, yet deeply profound.
I hope this helps Ronit! And if anyone else has any ideas, please share them here! Thank you
Katie,
Great message!
Thanks for all of the value that you are bringing to the world and to the marketplace.
Much appreciation!
And yes, “I LOVE ME!!!!”

Katie, To have stumbled across you has been SUCH a blessing!
I am already a big fan, and think you have such beautiful, profound insight for someone so young!
Thankyou sweet earth angel~~~
Thanks Katie so much.
I love the truth of what you’re saying and the power of your heart.
I’ve been ‘processing’ myself (maybe I mean unprocessing), living alone for the last and most valuable 15 years of my life. My love is an abundant gift to me that I want to share more, but I’ve never been an extrovert. I have many fears that I want to overcome, and your message of encouragement helps me to face my challenges.
yours
keith
Choo Choo Girl! I’m on board! What an awesome message! Truly inspirational! Thanks for all the encouragement and empowering videos you create!
Way to go Katie! I’m on board the falling in love with yourself love train! It’s a totally incredible ride!
And admission was FREE!! Even better!!
.-= Shannon Tecson´s last blog ..A Lesson Taken From The Movie "Alive" =-.
This one will be a challenge for me but I will get there!
I have always focused my attention on loving others (rather than receiving from others) and have always neglected myself in the process!
I will say I LOVE ME and one day I truly will realize my worth!
You’re an inspiration.
Kind regards,
Emma
This one is going to be a challenge for sure!
I’ve spent my whole life loving and caring for others but seem to have neglected myself in the meantime. I’ve just always put everyone else before me. Balance is needed!
Absolutely trying to change that now and may I say, you’re an inspiration!
Kind Regards,
Emma
Self love is a life-long journey. I try to remember to ask myself every day, with everything that I do: Is this an act of self love?
