Will this action promote self love?

I've been reading a lot lately, because I have a lot of time to explore, read, do a little "self help" and generally relax... I'm reading about three books right now and each of them is propelling me along this journey I am on...

I realized something lately, that sometimes when we self-sabotage, it can be for a myriad of reasons... fear, insecurity, the list could go on and on. I planted a seed in late January and watered it a little bit, but then kind of gave up on it, abandoned it, never encouraged it any further. And I came across something in one of the books I'm reading about taking a risk/chance every day. Every day? Wow, I said to myself, there are a lot of days ahead of me, and to take a chance every day? I decided I needed to take action on that seed I planted in late January; it had come to my attention that what I needed had changed since the time I planted the seed, but that I still wanted to harvest the fruits of my labor. So I changed focus, and redirected my "watering" efforts and the seed started to grow again... And today, just a short few days later, I am starting to reap the rewards of my efforts. When I got clear about what I needed, the Universe responded in kind. I decided by abandoning the seed I was not engaging in an act of self love, but in an act of self sabotage. And once I chose to act in self love, the Universe so obliged.
