Love yourself like the lover, and the loved. The lover in you teaches you how to look at the other person and believe in their capabilities. The loved in you teaches you how to always be grateful for everything. We need to be a part lover and a part loved. That's the way we truly become able to love and receive love from the other person. Once we've dealt with what loving ourselves comprises of, loving someone else is much easier. The self knows how it wants to be treated, the self knows how it wants to rest. The self even knows how to lift self up at times, the self knows when the self is down. When we know how to respond to everything that love has to offer, we also know what and how to embrace it. Loving own self is the first step we take towards loving other beings. It's not selfish. It's being concerned about the first ever companion we would ever have. And, self is absolutely the best companion.

This is a wise philosophy. To love fully, we need to know our own worth. Often this takes some time. So nice to meet you at Poets United.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! We have to start with ourselves. And yes, as Sherry said, a wise philosophy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! We must start with ourselves
ReplyDeleteLove takes seed inside and then can bloom outward.
ReplyDeleteSo very true and spoken beautifully! We cannot truly love others freely until we first love ourselves.
ReplyDeleteA good reminder--you've given a clear view of a path often cluttered. :)
ReplyDeleteAll too often self-love is stigmatized as selfish. We do need reminders of how strengthening and positive it can be.
ReplyDeleteWise...love is only complete when we love ourselves.
ReplyDeleteFirstly we must love ourselves only then can our love be worth receiving by others.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Beautifully and wisely said, both in the succinct verse ands the expository prose.
ReplyDeleteThe one who needs the most love and care in the world is ourselves. Often we forget to take care of ourselves in making happy to other.
