Why is it difficult to love oneself? This is the question which had been plaguing me for weeks, after reading an inspirational book about love and healing. The paperback might have been right about one thing, that healing comes from loving myself. The question is: HOW?
When you come to think of it, society has been fashioned from the old concepts of making sacrifices for the well-being of others.
Many dogmatic religions have been centered on the art of self-sacrifice, where the self is forgotten for the sake of what is good and right. For this, many have died unjustly, believing that they are giving up their very lives for the sake of martyrdom. For those who have chosen self-preservation, society can only cast an evil eye, labeling them as narcissistic cowards wallowing in their very own selfishness.
My Question then: Is Loving Yourself a Selfish Thing to Do?
There is nothing wrong with giving your very best for others, as long as you know where your limit is. If you have been ultra nice for years and have been a doormat for everybody to step on, it is high time to ask yourself if it is all worth it. Perhaps, it won't hurt to pamper yourself for a change.
Loving is always Good!
When you learn to say no, be it a simple request of doing your office mate's work, or an all-out party that you simply don't enjoy - you are then setting your bounds and giving more time for you. People may not like you for it, but no one can please everybody. They may say the world revolves around you, or call you names, of someone without any care for the world. But, does it matter what they say? As long as you haven't violated anyone's personal space, then, it's alright to love yourself with all the passion you can get.
There are many books out there waiting to be perused, wanting to guide you in feeling free. You deserve all of life's greatest and it's all up to you to reinforce this belief, or forever lie in the shadows of wanting. It is never easy to love yourself when you have believed all your life that it is a mortal sin.
Experiencing self love all comes down to self respect. Do you know your self worth? Answer this and you will learn more how to love yourself each day, where you will be happier living your life the way you want it to be lived. The choice to experience self love is always up to you, if you take that chance. The universe was created with many beautiful wonders, so you may enjoy your stay here on Earth. Life is just too short to waste on other things... than you. It's never too late to start.
Love. Live. Be Happy!
