Do You Love Yourself Enough?

Being Fran: On self love, no matter what!

Are you madly in love with yourself? No, really! Would you do anything for yourself right now? The same way you’d sacrifice for your family and friends or for your boyfriend and girlfriend or for your kid(s). Yeah, that’s right. Most of us don’t love ourselves enough to do anything in the world that makes us happy.

Look, I’m not advocating for selfishness; this article ain’t about that. What i would love the most is for you to think deeply about this question:

Do i love myself enough?

You see, the word “love” is thrown around so loosely that it has lost its meaning. And today, I’d like to share my understanding of LOVE.

Many times we like to beat ourselves down by comparing our lives to those of others. We envy them for the progress they make in life and wish it were our lives progressing. Friends, the scripture is clear on this; the Bible warns us against coveting.

The second commandment in the Bible is: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. That, to me, is everything. The fact that you can only give to others what you give yourself.

That’s why its so important to guard our heart for its the source of life. When your heart is filled with hate, your life will be sad. But when your heart is filled with love, your life will be happy.

If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better and that would make you happy.

It is not an easy thing, but it can be done. By practicing gratitude daily, you’ll be able to change your life and love everything about it.

Personally, i am far from perfect. Every now and then i seek motivation on how to make my life better and love everyone around me. So i will share with you my top three blogs on how to understand and love yourself deeply:
