May 13, 2024: Loving Yourself
“If you have the ability to love, love yourself first”
- Charles Bukowski
A prerequisite for being able to love someone else is a healthy dose of love for ourselves. Learning to appreciate and love ourselves with all our faults, is what gives us the ability to love others with all their faults. It is impossible to give to others something we do not have ourselves. We must appreciate and admire the fact that we are not the same as everyone else. We are unique. We like what we like. We dislike what we dislike. That is what makes us special. There is nothing special about being like everybody else! There is something lovely and lovable about learning to love and appreciate your uniqueness! Learn to love yourself and you will find that it is so much easier to love others.
