Soren Kierkegaard said, “Above all do not forget your duty to love yourself.” It your duty to love yourself more than anything. Love is spiritual. Love is God. God is love. When you love yourself, you don’t care about what others are thinking of you. When you are in love with your true self, other people’s opinions are irrelevant.

“Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.”

Fred Rogers

It important to respect yourself, love yourself, be happy with yourself, and appreciate yourself. Because you are a special person. Love is respect. When you love yourself, it means you have respect for yourself. It means you are proud of who you are, regardless of your financial situation.

It is important to feel good about yourself. When you feel good about yourself, you will feel good about other people. When you love yourself, you will love other people. According to Fred Rogers, “You can’t really love someone else unless you really love yourself first.” You cannot give what you don’t have. You give what you have. In this case, you have love. Don’t forget to love yourself.

Do More Of What Makes You Happy

“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.”– Maxim Gorky

You want to be happy, right? Do you think you can find it? If you think so, where do you think you can find it? Where? Can you measure happiness? Is it measurable? Maybe, maybe not.

You can find happiness if you do the right things. Happiness is everywhere. If you really care about your happiness, check your actions, check your relationships, check your work, and check yourself. Are they making you happy, or are they hurting you? If they make you happy, embrace them. But if they are hurting you, stay away. To put simply, do more of what makes you happy. And do less of what hurts you.

Your happiness is in your own hands. Do not neglect it. We lose whatever we neglect. If you want to be happier, do not neglect what makes you happy. According to Andre Maurois, ” When one is already happy it is important not to lose the virtues which have produced happiness.” Whatever it is that makes you happy, keep it. Don’t let it go. Because your happiness is in your own hands. Don’t you think so?
