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.

How Do You Treat People?

How do you treat a person who cannot help you? How do you treat people who have no power? How do you treat yourself?

“Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.”

Eppie Lederer

People are not interested in what you have, how intelligent you are, how beautiful you are, or how successful you are; they are interested in how you treat people. People want to be treated with respect and dignity. They don’t want you to humiliate them. They want you to see them as human being. If you want people to respect you, love you, want you, you must treat them with respect. Respect is reciprocal. If you don’t treat people with respect, they will not treat you with respect.

When you meet people, don’t disrespect them. Give them love. Give them happiness. Make them believe in themselves. The more love you give to people, the more love you will receive. You get back what you sent into the world. If you send disrespect, you will receive disrespect. If you send respect, you will receive respect. Be mindful how you treat people. If you want to be treated with respect, treat people with respect.
