Love Begins with Yourself

The world is full of people (to generalize) who spend their lives trying to do something for others, going to calls from friends in trouble or being altruistic with some cause that is fair to them. If they analyze their lives they would realize this failure, in many aspects, in which for that type of person they should be easy to control. I say for how they care about others, they should not be depressed or with some need that for them it is easy to supply their neighbor, so call him.

Is it possible that these people do not love themselves enough and think that by giving more to others than they give themselves could fill that small void that they may not notice is in their interior?

There are many questions yes, but I think they understand the point that I am trying to clarify.

Did you know that in order to love others you first have to love yourself?

Not of mouth, of heart, with real feelings and believing it, we have an opinion of ourselves so poor that we even live self sabotaging our own happiness.

And you think you are capable of loving your neighbor, I do not believe, it's true that's why the world is in decline, we love it as ourselves and since we love ourselves so little, there is no kind of consideration for others.

It's time to put a stop to this unhealthy relationship we have with ourselves, why is it so hard to love us? To see the great person we are? No, it's not narcissism, it's self-love, love begins for you, It is time to believe it and stop hurting yourself.

Searching the internet, I found a blog called "Your Good Moments" and a list of things we can do to strengthen ourselves internally and pamper us a bit for a change.

Give importance to your virtues. Defects are there for everyone, but virtues, too. Find yours.

Pride yourself on your own achievements Who says that it is vain to be happy for what is done well? Experience that satisfaction, share it, celebrate it... and the confidence you have in yourself will grow.

Pride yourself on what makes you different. We are not a flock of sheep that are the same, but people who are different from each other. Love what distinguishes you from others, because it is what makes you yourself.

Share the talent. Let the light see what you do well, that others enjoy it, in the same way that you appreciate the good work of other people.

Forgive yourself for all those mistakes, for what you should have done and did not do, for anything that weighs on your conscience without there being any need for it.

Have time for yourself. Finding a moment of enjoyment is not a privilege. Every day, look for small details or moments that make you feel good.

If you are considering having a loving relationship with someone, stop, take your time and fall in love with yourself first. Come out, have details with yourself, give yourself the opportunity to meet them and after you achieve it, it will be easier to share your love with another person who really loves you, value you. Since you will know yourself so well you will not demand less than what you deserve and you will give the same to the other person, without fears and with the proviso that they are complimenting each other, not needing you to be happy.

Remember love begins with yourself and you can never give what you don't have.

Many blessings.
