Loving yourself
Today is Valentine day. People all over the world celebrate with their loved one, exchanging gifts, going out for a good romantic dinner. There are also some group of individuals who hates Valentine day; these are people who felt lonely that they have no one to celebrate with, People who felt Valentine day is another day of the year for businesses to markup prices like the florists and the restaurants.
Since today is Valentine day I want to introduce you to someone that many of us take for granted. This someone needs love and attention too and this person is ourselves. Just think how well we treat ourselves or keep a promise to ourselves. For example when we make an appointment with a friend to go to gym tomorrow morning at 6 am. We will try to set the alarm clock and will do our best to meet the appointment, Now think about how many times we made an appointment with ourselves on the same and how many times we feel it is okay to miss it? This is because we feel ourselves is not as important. When we look into the mirror, do we find more flaws than good in us?
It is important to love ourselves first, If we cannot love ourselves, nothing will seem right in our lives. We cannot be happy carry a resentment with others as we know, how much more if we carry a resentment with ourselves. .
"If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy."
Kristin Chenoweth
If today you don't feel good about Valentine day or have any negative thoughts toward it, Check to see if you have any resentment that you need to work on, especially yourself, look at past regret, mistakes that is making your resentment. Let go and accept yourself once again. Remember Valentine day is a day for love, start by loving yourself first.

Happy Valentine day

Great thoughts! It is true that person can't love someone else if he or she doesn't love himself or herself! For example: parents say that they love their children but if they don't love themselves, they will do something bad to themselves- drink and smoke for example and with that they will also destroy the lives of their children because the children will suffer when they see them drunk or will have to breath in the smoke of cigarettes and their health will also be destroyed.
If you don't really love yourself, you can't love anybody else!
Thanks for sharing and spreading the love which should start with ourselves. Happy Hearts Day to you as well :)
Very insightful post. Thank you for the reminder that if we do not love ourselves, we have nothing at all to build on. That's vital. Happy Valentine's day!
