The Benefits Of Defining Yourself

You are the only person who can define you. Do not allow people to define you. If you allow that to happen, they will give you the wrong picture of yourself.

One of the opportunities of your life is to be able to define your real self. Tell people who you are. Do not allow people to tell you who you are. They will tell you the wrong things about yourself.

Joseph Campbell said, “The privilege of a life time is being who you are.” You cannot know who you really are, if you do not define yourself in your own terms.

Sometimes we allow others to define us because we want them to like us. But we are not really helping ourselves by doing that. The great Aristotle said, “Know thyself.” If you want to live a positive, happier, healthier, and a successful life, you MUST know yourself.

You will never know yourself if you allow people who do not even know you to define you. They do not know you. They do not know what you stand for. They do not know where you are going. They know nothing about you. Because of that, do not let their opinions affect you. Their opinions have nothing to do with you. Just focus on what is important to you and the people around you.

Define yourself.

Are you ready to define yourself?

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.
