“SELF LOVE”, what is the first thing or definition that comes in your mind when you read this word ? Let me tell you, Self Love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others. Self love means not settling for less than you deserve. Self love can mean something different for each person because we all have many different ways to take care of ourselves.
There is a a lot of lacking of Self love in our generation. People forget to take care of themselves and focus more on taking care and giving their time, energy and everything to other person. That’s not how life works. My Mom always tells me one important thing “If you want to Love someone or something, you’ll have to first learn to Love yourself ” . And i guess it’s the bitter truth no one wants to agree with. Self Love is as important for us as water is important for a human body.
If we’re not gonna love ourselves, if we’re not gonna take care of ourselves then how can we expect someone else to love us ? Self love does not make one Selfish at all.
We cannot always expect to rely only on others for love and that is where the concept of self love comes in. A person who practices self love will never need to depend on others to be happy and it is an empowering feeling to be happy on the inside.
