U Gotta Love Yourself
“Love thy neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37-39
You must love yourself before you can love anybody else. Loving yourself sets the standards for how anyone else will love you and treat you. Reasons you should love yourself:
- God created a beautiful human being
You are a blessing, a beautiful creation, and have been placed on this Earth with a purpose. You must love who you were, who you are, and who you will become. Love every flaw and imperfection you may think you have. Truly and meaningfully get to know yourself. Once you fall in love with who you are, your whole world will change!
- Respect
I always tell people if you do not respect yourself, then no one else is going to respect you. Respect goes a long way! Treat your mind, body, and soul how you would want someone else to. Take ownership of your peace, your space, your morals, your goals, everything that makes you who you are! Once you do those things, everyone else in your life will follow suit.
- Love others
Another thing I tell people is that you cannot fully, truly, and wholeheartedly love someone else until you love yourself. U.G.L.Y (U Gotta Love Yourself) in order to love others. That energy, those vibrations, and your aura all plays a factor in how you treat others. Think about it, when you are not feeling your best one day and your energy is off, it effects those who are around you. It’s contagious! If you love yourself and feel good about yourself, then those vibrations will radiate and be passed on to others.
