Loving Yourself?
Have u ever asked yourself this question? This is such a very important aspect in life that everyone should possess. We could not give so much love to others if we don’t love ourselves first. Loving yourself means to accept yourself as you are and to come to terms with those aspects of yourself that you cannot change. It means to have high self-esteem, self-respect and a positive self-image.
Needless to say, it does not mean being arrogant, conceited or thinking that you are better than anyone else. It means having a healthy regard for yourself knowing that you are a worthy human being.
It is important to remind ourselves that no one is perfect. We all have strengths and weaknesses and we certainly possess the resources to work on improving ourselves.
Each of us is unique and has specific talents and abilities to offer. We are all here, in the words “to contribute something”. In order to appreciate yourself it is up to you to discover what makes you unique and to further develop those talents. We have a responsibility to ourselves to do so.
You cannot sit around and wait for approval from others. Work on accepting yourself. You are the only “you” that you have after things gets in the bottom. It is in your best interests to be the best you can be.
Until you love yourself, you will not be able to love anyone else. You can only love another to the degree that you do yourself.
