“Love is a connector. It brings things together.”

The best love is self-love. Do not wait for people to love you before you love yourself. Love yourself first, then people will love you. If you don’t love yourself, no one will love you.

It is not a bad thing to love yourself. It is not a selfish thing to do at all. Life starts with self-love. If you don’t love yourself, who will? I don’t know.

“If you don’t love yourself, who will?”

You will never lose by loving yourself. You will never lose by loving other people. You will lose everything in life if you don’t have the courage to love yourself. You will lose everything if you don’t love other people. They need your love, and you need their love, too.

Barbara De Angelis said, “Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.” When you love people, you are loving yourself. When you love people, you are blessing yourself. Love. Just love.

Love is a connector. No matter what people have done to you, do not hate them, love them. Love and hate cannot coexist. Where there is hate, love disappears. Where there is hate, nothing prospers. Where there is hate, nothing grows. Where there is hate, people perish. But where there is love, people connect. Where there is love, people bring out the best in themselves. Where we have love, there is life.

No matter what people have done to you, practice love and kindness. Because love heals. In his book The Freedom of Forgiveness, David Augsburger wrote, “Love heals. Love encourages. Love protects. Love looks for the best in others so that others may be their best.” Love focuses on strengths, not weaknesses.

Love is life. If you want to have peace of mind, love yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love others. Because you can’t give what you don’t have. If you have love, you will be able to give love to other people. But if you have never known love, you won’t be able to give love.

Love yourself, and people will love you.

Recruit the best love!

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?
