One will never be truly happy until they first love themselves. When you practice self-love and self-respect, you give yourself the opportunity to be happy. When you are happy, you will stop putting everyone else’s needs first and take time for yourself. When you are happy, you will make yourself, your highest priority.
So, take time today and look at yourself in the mirror and say, I love you to yourself. Have faith and trust in who you are. And, decide this minute to never again to beg anyone for the love, respect, and attention that you should be showing yourself. We must stop expecting others to respect you more than you respect yourself. Remember this, in order to love others and be loved; first, you need to love yourself.
