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?

When you have decided to do something, always try to do your best work.

“When you have decided that a thing ought to be done, and you are doing it, never shun being seen doing it, even though the multitude should be likely to judge the matter amiss. For if you are not acting rightly, shun the act itself; if rightly, however, why fear misplaced censure.”- Epictetus

Do not ignore your goals. You must do what you have to do to make your dreams come true.

“First, say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”- Epictetus

No thing great is created suddenly

“No thing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.”- Epictetus

You are responsible for your own happiness

“If any be unhappy, let him remember that he is unhappy by reason of himself alone.”-Epictetus

Never stop learning

“For it is impossible for a man to begin to learn what he has a conceit that he already knows.”- Epictetus

Choose your friends wisely

“Try to enjoy the great festival of life with other men.”- Epictetus

You are the master of your own life.

“Thou shalt not blame or flatter any.”- Epictetus

Do not worry yourself about things not in your control

“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one world, whatever are not our own actions.”- Epictetus
