First fall in love with yourself, then life, then someone else
Love is that positive energy that moves us in the right direction. That is why, more than two millennia ago, a man taught us the importance of love, and the need for us to love others as we love ourselves. But do you really love yourself? We are used to falling in love with things, with people, with moments and with life itself. But have we fallen in love with ourselves?
During the course of our lives we fall in love many times, and many times we say “I love you”. So much so, that sometimes the phrase becomes somewhat simple or trite, which should not happen because it is the purest feeling that exists in the universe. Love is magical, strong and resists everything that comes. This includes lies, infidelity, deception, rudeness, mistakes, defects, stumbling and mistakes. There is nothing that true love cannot deal with, so we could never say that the phrase “I love you” is overrated.
The problem is that we don’t always feel real love for things or people. Just think, if love is eternal and can do everything, why do couples split up? This happens not because of a problem of love, but because of a human problem that does not know how to deal with difficulties.
Now the world is subject to a corrupt system that invites us at all times to lie, to deceive, to be more vain and selfish and to care less about others, and like sheep to the slaughter, we fall into the trap by letting ourselves be seduced by all this and that is where the love of our lives goes.
But don’t all these things we find in the world that corrupt us hurt us? Obviously. Then why do we do it? Simply because we don’t love ourselves enough to take care of ourselves.
When you fall in love with someone or even something, you promise again and again that you will take care of them no matter what, that you will always be there, that you will be a support among many other things. Well, this is what you have to do for yourself, but you can only do it by falling in love with you.
Look at yourself in the mirror and find your most attractive spots, cut yourself, treat yourself well, love yourself, talk to yourself and become your best friend. Start falling in love with yourself like you would with anyone else, love yourself. You will see how your life changes completely, because to begin with, you will be ready to love another person, a person who will be right for you. One who will respect you, support you and love you as much as you learned to do it for you first, and you know you will not accept anyone who treats you worse than you could treat yourself.
