Self-love is necessary. Without it, we will not be able to unleash our true potential. As a thoughtful person, I realized that many times we didn’t love ourselves enough, and therefore, give up on ourselves very easily. Whether it’s the comment of our teacher that made us feel awful about ourselves or others who often can’t see our potential and judge our abilities. However, it’s not them who are responsible for making us feel loved, it’s us. It took a long time before I learned this. I know you might be thinking that it’s good when people make you feel loved, and yes, it feels amazing! to an extent that you can get depressed if you didn’t feel like you are loved. The reason why there is no alternative to self-love is that the love of others doesn’t come with the guarantee to stay and expecting them to love you forever isn’t a wise thought to entertain in your mind. The truth is life is hard, sometimes you will not be their choice, and sometimes when the hard times will come and it will become difficult to love you they might leave. You will be by yourself and then you will understand the importance of unconditional love. This love doesn’t want you to be rich or famous or highly intelligent. This love simply stays when another kind of love leaves, it accept your situation and still believes in your abilities to grow. It sees your true potential which isn’t always visible to others, it all tells you that you deserve better. It’s good that when other people believe in you but it’s better when you believe in your abilities because you know exactly about your abilities are and others will only believe what they think is right about you. Lack of knowledge will let people think whatever they want to think about you but when you truly love yourself you will never accept their definition of who you are. You will tell yourself that I respect everybody, but I should still not give anybody the privilege to define me. We need to understand that it’s okay if some people didn’t like you or if they didn’t believe in you or if they didn’t expect you to do that. You deserve to live your life the way you feel like and shouldn’t limit yourself because of the inability of others to see your worth. There is nothing wrong to think that you can do good things, but the wise person knows that it’s not a good idea to tell everybody about this. We wouldn’t like to feel bad about our dreams, just because people expect us to be like this doesn’t mean we will stop exploring our true self. We need to filter everything before taking it inside our system because believe it or not words act like magic spells, a bad comment from your favourite person can destroy you in seconds and its effects will last throughout your life. It can make you believe that you aren’t smart enough to do whatever you want to do in your life. On a regular basis, we are surrounded by so many people but weirdly, nobody can understand ourselves. They can’t even try because they have their lot of problems and understanding another individual in such a deep manner requires time and energy. By understanding their situations we should try our best to help ourselves because that’s the best kind of help we are able to receive in this world. The way we use to love ourselves as a child is not the way we love ourselves now. Our past mistakes, people’s opinions, bad marks, financial situations and many other factors have decreased our amount of self-love. We don’t wear that amazing pink dress or that pearl earring, we don’t live in big mansions and we aren’t rich so how can I love myself?. There is no denying the fact that life might be hard for you but that doesn’t mean you will stop loving yourself. If you stop loving yourself because the conditions weren’t favourable than you never know how to love yourself in the first place. Self-loves comes into play when you see yourself in situations that made you feel bad about yourself and without taking permissions from others you simply decide to work on changing your situations. Self-love isn’t selfish, it’s just too necessary to ignore because without it you will stay stuck in whatever situations you are in. It is important to love yourself so that you can see what is that making you feel bad about your life and how you can fix that. If you chose not to be okay when life drafts you in any direction then that’s the time when you need to get back up and do something about it. Unfortunately, only you can make this decision for yourself and first, you need to know this. Self-love doesn’t allow you to settle and at the same time it makes you see your faults so that by correcting them you can become a better human being. Therefore, learn to develop this permanent source of love within as it’s gonna protect you from everything that’s affecting the brightness of your light.
