Love Yourself Above All Else

Sometimes the trials of life can become overwhelming and the load may seem to heavy to bear. It’s very easy to get weighed down by the trials of life.  One thing I have learned is that, in this life you can’t expect for others to make you happy.  This is what it is so important to have an internal sense of self worth and an intrinsic sense of peace that you carry within yourself. As you continue to live and grow, the circumstances of life, and having to deal with people will teach you this.

The bottoms line is this, you should never have to force someone to like you, or love you.  Why force someone to be with you, or share your space if that is not what they really want. When someone has a desire to be with you, to love you, and to spend their time with you, you will know it.  That feeling or thought of loneliness can cause one to do desperate things and make really unhappy decisions.  

So I say to anyone that may be feeling lonely or alone in this season of your life, just know for yourself that you are not alone, and that you can be and feel fulfilled if you just learn to love yourself.

Love comes when you are able to stop looking to others to fulfill your need.  Love is about feeling a sense of security in knowing who you are and what matters most.  Love is not envious, boastful or jealous, but it’s patient caring, and kind.  Love is what you do more-so that what you feel. If you can’t do anything else, I implore you to start working on self love today.  You can Love yourself first and take the Love of God with you. 

So what is self love?  Self-love occurs when you can treat yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support you would show to a friend. Stop looking to others, or expecting others to be for you what they are unable to be, and  start being what you can be, to yourself. Find what makes you happy and become one with it. Remember, your happiness should not be predicated on the presence of another person, or what that person can give to you, or do for you.

This is one of life lesson that I had to learn for myself. Im so glad I learned this principal as it has made my life better.  Now that I truly understand the importance of self love, I want to share it with you.  I pray for any one who is reading this, that you will be able to let go of chasing expectations and release any negative thoughts that captivates your mind. I hope that you find some inspiration in this passage and that it will give you peace to move forward and create your own happiness.

Loving yourself is not selfish at all. It just makes you build your own walls and protecting what you have built from the start. There is nothing wrong in making yourself more locked up because you are just doing the best you think you deserve. Loving yourself first means it enables you to love others as well and share what you have with others. You cannot give enough love to someone if you do not love yourself and respect yourself.
