If someone is falling behind in life, you don’t have to remind them, believe me. They already know. If someone is unhealthy, they know. If someone is struggling in their relationships, with money, with self image, they know. It’s what consumes their thoughts each day. What you need to do for those who are struggling is not to reprimand but encourage. Tell them what’s good about their lives, show them the potential that you see. Love them where they are.
Self love is a state of appreciation for one self that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. 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. When we can’t see clearly for ourselves, we need others to speak greatness over us. People don’t need you to tell them what’s wrong with their lives, they already know. They need you to reassure them that they can still make it right. How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.
