One thing stands sure and that is the fact that no one can love you more than you love yourself. We all need to have a good level of self love, just love yourself. But it isn't this way most times, because we have seen so many people and we have seen they are awesome, more beautiful, richer, taller and so on and forth and we feel like nothing makes us warrant that love, that self love. Soon we all realize that we aren't really special or different as we hope to be and we have to work it out. In the midst of a crowd, nothing really makes us preferred, as there are more pretty ladies too, more muscular guys, more wealthy people, more talented guys out there, and while you wish to be so special and the chosen one by God to be favoured always, reality just teaches us that life is a ground for everyone to learn, and be better, so that moment when you see people having it more than you do, or being better looking than you do, or more talented or even wins more, you shouldn't begin hating yourself, or becoming low self esteemed, no rather it's a time to know your worth in details and appreciate yourself.
That person you envy has another person he envies, which might also be you, its a thing of the heart, you can never truly know until you're told, yet the question remains, do we wait till we are told our worth before we start living our best. Well no, and the day you love yourself and appreciate all your qualities and attributes, is the day you start living your best life. Moreover how do you love someone else when you aren't in love with yourself. And should in case, you're asking is it possible for someone to not love his or herself, well the answer is yes, maybe you haven't really mingle much yet.
Before I write on the benefits of loving yourself, I guess I should write first on a few reason why people don't love their selves to begin with.
Reasons Why People Don't Love Theirselves :
There is something in everyone, we all wish we can change, maybe your nose structure, eyes ball, legs, speech, teeth, stomach, maybe talents too, but all this were given to us not by our selection, rather as a free gift from creation. Well it might interest you to know that because we have to deal with it throughout our life, some individuals with more severe cases compared to others might not be too happy with the life they ought to be living, and you could see the detest on life when you come around them. The irony of this whole occurrence is that those with more severe situations that one would expect wouldn't be too happy are finding their ways to be happy with life and live their best cause death awaits all while those you feel should easily come off it, cause their cases are minor, are those with the real self dislike issues, however its never to late for anyone to start loving on himself or herself.
Not only are physical appearances the cause of self dislike, sometimes it's the feeling of not good enough, when someone else's does it better than you and is getting the results you hope to get especially in the time you are wishing to get it, maybe you love music or acting and there is someone who gets all the fame, and just pushes you aside, while some people would just be envious, some others might beat theirselves up claiming to suck bad at it, and even considering quitting, this by far is not the way out.
You need to love yourself in order to be self motivated, so you can carry yourself to the heights of the mountains, you have accepted this is you and love yourself regardless, then let's move together, I and myself, let's start this journey to greatness.
Benefits Of Loving Yourself :
Firstly, loving yourself helps grows your self esteem, your level of self esteem has its way of determining how well you'll deal with events and opportunities that comes your way. The feeling of 'I'm not up to the task' is one bad traits to be quickly push aside, and just know we all are only human, and same way nothing really makes you special, so also nothing makes anyone that special as sometimes there's a background job done to warrant their victory and sometimes its could also be inheritance, however, we all have the ability to start up from nothing and build till something. If someone can do it then you too can.
Also, then you can rightly love someone else, the mandate given as "Love your neighbour as yourself" would be incomplete, if you choose to love someone without first loving yourself. Self love is a blueprint for other forms of love to play in. Do unto others what you want them to do to you, is a good word but when you don't love yourself enough to reject bad things then you might as well be tagged "dangerous", as you can do those bad things to others and still feel okay, like there's nothing wrong.
So firstly love yourself first, its good we love ourselves, there are somethings we can only hope to change but they are not in our power to do, so the best option is not letting it become a blockage to your rising or going ahead. Learn to live your best life now, remember we only live once.
