Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.
It took me along time to learn what love truly means. I thought love included pleasing others,saying"yes"when I meant "no",swallowing my true feelings and putting myself last.What I didn`t know is that I was practicing resentment,anger,fear,jealousy and everything but love.I did not love myself.
Then I decided to take care of myself first.I considered no one but me to take care of myself(or so I thought)while actually alienating myself from those close to me. I ate compulsively to tame the the self-loathing I felt inside.And I loathed myself because I did not treat myself with real love and kindness. Today I know that loving myself must come first.If I love myself,I am better able to love everyone in my life because I do things from a place of honesty.If I treat myself with respect,I treat others with respect.Everyone wins when I love myself enough to accept myself,flaws and all. ONE DAY AT A TIME I will ask my Higher Power For the ability to accept and love myself for where I am this day,knowing that I am a work in progress like a tree that grows from self -care and nurturing.
