Self Love – I Can’t Love Me Less

image-20180608-113413

Self love is key to happiness and well being of one-self.

Self love is the complete acceptance of who you are and what you are. An admiration of oneself. It is a confident, caring, and warm feeling felt within oneself. loving yourself doesn’t have to be defined by your day to day ultimate reward or achievements, but it is thus an unconditional support or basic necessity, a fundamental positive value that leads to one’s happiness, or inner peace.

It is a typical belief that self-love is selfish, but I bet to disagree. – And most individuals have flawed in regards for ones own self and well being. This behavior implies that their ability to love themselves is based on, or subject to them seeking love elsewhere, or them being objectively ‘good’ or ‘successful’ in what they do; Which isn’t suppose to be.

If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws,

you can love other people so much better.

And that makes you so happy.

Kristin Chenoweth

I personally can’t love me less. My well being and happiness is of top priority and so should every one’s. Even in relationships, my own well being and happiness is paramount, so is yours reading this. – This doesn’t mean you neglect your partner, but when you truly love yourself, only then can you love another without inflicting pain on them.

Here is a brilliant quote about seeking love;

Your task is not to seek for Love,

but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself, that you have built against love.

– Rumi

Am also of the notion that; in a love relationship, you should only/firstly seek love within yourself and NOT from your partner.

Because when you SEEK LOVE from others, you loose control of your will to love, who you are, and your self esteem. And NOTE THAT; all you do throughout such relationship is only to please your partner at every point in time, disregarding yourself, and continually reducing yourself worth…. ‘So what happens then! When your partner/spouse refuses to give you the love you seek for???’

Self-love doesn’t have to be;

“that love that shuts out everyone else, and it shouldn’t be of an excessive self pride”. But simply the love that reminds you to VALUE, RESPECT, APPRECIATE WHO YOU ARE, WHAT YOU ARE and ALL THAT YOU HAVE.

It is a fact and self love is too important for one to neglect. Love yourself, Know what makes you happy and stop sucking up to others idea of living your life. “The more you love yourself, the less nonsense you tolerate.”

with love; ♥♥

    1. Thanks for reading.
      Sure, there are lots of reasons people struggle to love themselves… But you’ve got to understand that selflove is the key to your own happiness, and we all deserve happiness.

  3. It is indeed our journey, and your Rumi quote said it perfectly ‘Your task is not to seek for Love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself, that you have built against love.’. And our fears does indeed take us on that journey of ‘conditional love’ so that we will, in understanding them, finally let them go and be in that incredible place that unconditional love is.
    We cannot know one without the other, like only being able to fully appreciate happiness if we have experienced sadness too…and on through all of our emotions.
    A great post dear lady, may we experience it all to find our way home 😀❤️🙏🏽

      1. Yes thank you dear lady, I have had quite a few problems where likes won’t work, I can’t comment on other sites and others cannot comment on mine. And in some cases I can comment but the next time it refuses, and I am not doing anything different so I can only assume some sort of conflict on the server. It is a frustrating thing for quite a few users but there doesn’t seem to be an answer. I think WordPress may have to redesign their baby as it isn’t just me, there are many in the same boat. I think many may drift away if it can’t hold its light up for us to see. But I thank you for letting me know 😀❤️🙏🏽
