Learn To Love Yourself
No one deserves more support, affection and appreciation from you than yourself. To find happiness, you need to match several “pieces”. But the most important thing is to be aware of what you deserve. It is essential to understand that if you do not love yourself, no one else will.
Many people become prisoners in the world of the people around them. People who love them and make them feel like they have a place of their own, giving them a sense of security.
Yes, every person deserves to be loved, respected and valued, but it is important to learn to direct these emotions to yourself as well. No one deserves your love more than you. With this thought you strengthen your self-esteem, inner strength and determination.
No one deserves your respect more than you
If you do not respect yourself, give those around you permission to manipulate you. To become a passenger in their own journey and a secondary character in your own life.
The moment you realize that you need more than other people’s appreciation, you will understand the importance of cultivating intrinsic values, such as self-esteem, inner strength, and self-awareness.
- Many times, during childhood and adolescence, you seek protection from the outside, to feel safe: you long for the love of your parents, for the appreciation of your friends and classmates…
- In this way, you become an important person.
- But as time goes on, you notice that sometimes people disappoint you. Family members make certain mistakes, friends betray you, and your partner can’t give you what you need.
- Only then do you understand the importance of “self-love.” It is an inner force that allows you to love yourself, making you less vulnerable to all the blows of life.
If your family disappoints you, you can move on. If your friends turn out differently than you thought, you can make others. You never feel alone and helpless, because you know what you deserve.
Steps to follow to get to love yourself
You are the love of your life
Throughout your life, you will love many people: family, friends, life partners, children. It’s an important thing, but you have to understand that you have to love yourself first. Otherwise, others will see in your soul only insecurity, doubt and anxiety.
- People who do not value themselves do not expect others to do the same. Thus, certain emotional deficiencies are created that can cause serious existential crises.
- You begin to truly live when you place yourself on the throne of your life. When you say to yourself, “I am an important person, I deserve to be happy, I deserve to be respected and I love myself.”
- This statement is not a proof of selfishness. In fact, it is an assertion of personal freedom. The moment you start to think that you deserve everything from life, you will discover that you can do very well on your own. Moreover, that you are able to love others as well.
You deserve to be happy
We all deserve to be happy, but sometimes we don’t know how to get there. To get started on this path, consider the following:
- Try to lead a simple and humble life that is based on a certain balance in which your values and integrity are respected, in which everything you do is meritorious, in which the people around you appreciate you as you are…
- Free yourself from meaningless things: say “no” to pointless suffering, don’t waste your time with things you don’t deserve, forget about the people who hurt you. Set some priorities (you, your family) and fight for them.
- Everything else is a waste of time.
- You don’t have to look for happiness – you have to discover it in your soul day after day . That is why you must stop associating it with the people around you and let it flourish in your heart.
Make sure that whatever you choose to do brings you happiness
You may be wondering now: how to proceed? How do I know if my choice will make me happy? Of course, you can’t be sure of anything. Life involves taking risks and overcoming limits, being a real adventure.
At the beginning of each journey, you need to focus on one thing: you deserve to be happy; you deserve to be respected. When these requirements are not met, you have to make a decision – move away from that situation or jeopardize your self-esteem.
Happiness is often an act of courage. Don’t be afraid to raise your voice, to be brave, and if you love yourself, you will receive the power you need every day of your life.
