What is your work right now? Are you practicing love? Are you looking for love? Are you loving the world? Are you loving yourself? If you are not, what are you doing ?

If we want to do special things in our lives, we must first love ourselves. If you don’t have the courage to love yourself, who do you think is going to love you more than you love yourself? My friend, if we are honest here, no one is going to love us more than we love ourselves. The message is clear: Don’t expect from other people what you cannot boldly give to yourself. If you cannot love yourself, don’t expect love from other people. If you cannot make yourself happy, don’t expect happiness from other people. Why is that?

“If you are in love with yourself, you are in love with the world. If you are in love with the world, you are in love with yourself“

Because what you can’t give to yourself, no one can give it to you. You know what you want. You know what you are looking for in your life. You know where you are going to in your life. You know what you want for yourself. Above all, no one knows you more than you know yourself. As the great Aristotle once said, “Know thyself.” You are the only one who knows exactly what you want to achieve in your life. No one knows you more than you know yourself. No one knows your dreams more than you know your dreams. And you are the only person who is responsible for making them happen.

“Love is what you do, not what you say.”

Mary Oliver once said, “My work is loving the world.” If Mary Oliver’s work was loving the world, what is your work? Why are you here on this earth? Why are you doing what you are doing? If you want to do great things, if you want to live your life the way you want it, if you want to be successful, you must learn and live the art of love every day. Don’t spend a day without loving yourself. Don’t spend a day without loving people. Someone, somewhere is waiting for your love. Give it out.

Love is a connector. Love brings people together. If you are in love with yourself, you are in love with the world. If you are in love with the world, you are in love with yourself. You can’t love yourself without loving the world. You can’t separate yourself from the world. The world needs you. You need the world. Love is the beginning of your life. If you want to live a great life, a balanced life, a free life, a life with love and happiness, you must live love, eat love, and attract love into your life. Are you in love with yourself?

Nothing Is Free

“Those who believe they can move mountains, do. Those who believe they can’t, cannot.”- David J. Schwartz, PhD

You can get what you want. You can achieve success in your life. But it comes with a big price. It comes with hard work. It comes with smart work. If you are ready to work hard, you are ready to succeed. Success will come to you if you work really hard. If you think you can succeed without work, if you think you can do great things without work, you are playing with yourself.

Nothing is free. If you want something, you’ve got to work hard to get it. Don’t fear. Don’t doubt yourself. Because if you believe in yourself, there is nothing you cannot do. You can do anything. Don’t worry about how long it is going to take you to get to where you want to be. If you push yourself a little more, you will get there. If you do more work on yourself, you will attract more things into your life. You can do more for yourself. You can do more. You can push yourself a little more. You can do things differently.

To get a better result, you have to work on yourself. Because if you don’t work on yourself, nothing in your life will change. Everything will remain the same. So if you don’t want things to remain the same in your life, you must work on yourself.

According to Aldous Huxley, “One can’t have something for nothing.” Yes, you can’t get something for nothing. It needs your sweat. It needs your money. It needs your brain. You can’t get anything for free. If you are not willing to work for what you want, your life will not change. Wherever you want to go in your life, wishful thinking won’t get you there. Only hard work can get you what you want. Only hard work can make your dreams come true. Without hard work, don’t expect anything to change. Action changes things. If you want to change your life, you must pay the price. You must do the work. You must work on yourself. You must do what you haven’t done before. Make sure your goals are clear enough to keep you going. People don’t move because they don’t know where they are going.

If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you must work on yourself.
