Love! Falling in love with oneself would help you fall in love with others.
Without love, life tastes bland and success is empty.
Love (Oxford dictionary) is a strong feeling of deep affection for somebody.
Love is the magic elixir of the soul. Love is to life as scent is to rose ๐น. It is the spice of life and it adorns life as clouds ☁️ decorates the skies, love is something we all need regardless of our varied perspective or vicissitudes of life.
What can compete with love ๐?
It has kept the sick man alive and has made the well man feel sick. It is love that gives us courage yet love makes us afraid. It weakens the mighty and strengthens the feeble. It has the capacity to alter our perceptions and heights our vulnerability. It epitomizes the human experiences and celebrates all that we enjoy. It can make an average person feel extraordinary. It is the most intoxicating feeling that any of us will ever have the privilege of experiencing.
We must know that love is not an optional accessory that we can choose to exclude from life.
Love is that passion that must start at home before it goes abroad. It is the grace that enables us to wink at ourselves and appreciate our own gifts. It is only a healthy mind that can celebrate itself. Most of us are frustrated with dreams that are denied and hopes that are deferred, even the most liberated people are adversely affected by the pressure of public opinion though we tend to say we do not care what people think but to some degree we are still vulnerable to their words and ideas, for instance, if someone says you look terrible in a dress, the truth is you will be reluctant to wear that dress again even if you claim not to care about what people think, therefore, we need to take time out for ourselves, listen to the hissing sound before we catch fire ๐ฅ.
We need to be motivated that is, self motivated in order to survive, perhaps one of the most difficult things to achieve is the ability to be motivated by ourselves, for we must realize that in order to truly give we must first appreciate the gifts we possess.
Have you ever tried lighting a candle๐ฏ, playing a song and taking a walk to meditate on your own accomplishments?
Quiet moments alone allows us to explore how deeply we are committed to our own sense of healthy wellbeing and fortitude.
It is only a poor hen that will not crow in her own nest.
Without a doubt, we all want to experience love, but we must ask ourselves, “Are we in love with others or are we in love with the idea of being in love?” After we must have asked ourselves this question, then we can determine if we are loving others because they are lovable or because we are famished for love, with the wrong feeling, we are likely to settle for anyone or anything that gives to us what we should give to ourselves.
Everyone needs a positive self-image which is not arrogant because people with low self esteem are too obsessive to enjoy others, that is, they cling to others like a vine to a wall, they need others so as to stand and that need becomes compulsive and draining.
It is virtually impossible to find someone to appreciate you as a person if you do not allow them to see you as a settled, stabilized force in the earth. They need to hear you sing ๐ค your own song. You actually train others on how to treat you by how you treat yourself. Do not think for a moment that others do not observe your level of style, class, and preference, for instance, you wouldn’t give cheap bag to someone who wears expensive clothes, who would feel comfortable giving a gift that would stand out among the person’s possessions as an item beneath his/her normal standard? This is why by being good to yourself, you have in essence set a standard that every other person must aspire to reach if they must be a blessing to you as an individual.
There is nothing as worse as giving the right thing to the wrong person, if love is given to the worthy, it is reciprocated and fruitful. If it is invested on the empty opportunist, it can create a pain that nauseates the soul and afflicts the mind.
