We all know in today's scenario we gotta love yourself first and then respect others. You have to empower yourself by treating yourself with love and respect and making sure people around does the same. Its said however we will think of ourself that's exactly how others would also think of us. It works like mirror, you asks the mirror - "Who is beautiful" and the mirror replies "You". How can a mirror tell your true self and inner beauty, his reply is only to your outer beauty.
Its not about asking people how you feel or how you look, its what you have in you and what gives you confidence. Truth lies within each one of us, so go within. To know true reality turn off the TV, put away books on human psychology and close your eyes and sit with yourself. The first step isn't Being in a state of thoughtlessness, it's Being with yourself- whatever you understand "yourself" to be. If you understand yourself as a mind, observe your mind. If you understand yourself as a personality, get to know your personality. If you understand yourself as inner chattering, listen to the chattering. If you understand yourself to be energy, sit with this energy. Get to know yourself...whatever "yourself" means to you. We need to understand and get to know the mind, personality, ego, intellect, etc to know that there is a Being beyond all of this- the True Self.
When you know yourself via others, it is your personality-just a thin layer of opinions. When you know yourself directly, you know your individuality. And once you have known your individuality the fear of being left alone disappears. Loving yourself is mainly having self-respect which is the only dependable way to create love in your own life to share with others. When you expect love from an external source, and someone or something does not fulfill your void and fantasies, then you will feel worse than before. To be able to be loved, you must love and respect yourself as much as you do others. Understanding the effects of loving yourself will only enhance your ability to love others. By doing so, you are enabling positive energy and allowing for great situations to occur in your life. Never think that you're living your life for nothing. Everyday, there are people coming in and out of the world, so spend it wisely and respect yourself. Sometimes we feel as if our lives rely on that one person. We think 'If I do this, he/ she will like me. We tend to waste time avoiding those certain people, and regret it later. We miss them, yearn for their love, and even waste birthday wishes on them. "In order to love someone, you must learn to love yourself."
