How You See Yourself Is How Others Will See You

How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself as a positive person? Do you see yourself as a loser? Do you see yourself as a failure? Or do you see yourself as a powerful person?

You cannot control how other people see you. But you can control how you see yourself. It is important to believe in yourself. It is important to love yourself. It is important to live your life the way you want to live it. How you see yourself is necessary. Live your life. Don’t hide your life.

How you see yourself is important. Why is that? Because you can’t please everybody. You can’t make everybody happy. You can only make yourself happy. You do that by doing the things that really make you happy.

Eric Hoffer famously said, “It is not love of self but hatred of self which is at the root of the troubles that afflict our world. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.” The message here is: How you treat yourself is exactly how other people will treat you. How you see yourself is exactly how other people will see you. If you want to other people to treat you with love, respect, you must first treat them with love and respect.

Self-love Is The Beginning Of Your Real Life

“Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his as our own.”– Emanuel Swedenborg, Swedish scientist

Love is giving out love to others without expecting anything back. But if you don’t love yourself, how can you give love to others?

“To love others is to love yourself.” If you don’t love yourself, you cannot love others. You give love when you have love.

Love yourself to be yourself. You can only live a healthy and happy life when you are in love with yourself.

To love yourself is to be in love with your REAL self. Your inner self. Your true self. Your best self. To be in love with yourself is to know your fears, your hopes, your wishes, your strengths and weaknesses, your talents, your skills, and your needs.

Without self-love, you can’t give love to others.

When you are in love with yourself, you treat others with respect. When you are in love with yourself, you act in a dignified way. When you are in love with yourself, you are comfortable when in solitude.

The relationship you have with yourself shows in how you treat other people. If you love yourself, you will love others. If you hate yourself, you will hate others.

“Love and hate cannot be in the same place. They cannot coexist.”

Love is the way to a better life. Love is the foundation upon which all other things are constructed.

“To live is to love. To love is to live.” If you want to live, start loving yourself and others.
