Monday Inspiration: Top Secret of the Week ( If you do not love yourself, you cannot love another)



Hello lovelies, How are we doing today? Personally I am still wondering if the weekend is over, but anyways it is and work has got us again *the hustle continues*

Last week was about getting our  vibes on for the new month and today lets talk a little about the secret of letting out love to others.

So yeah, I have always learnt to love but then I kept asking why do people still hate/dislike. If love is what we are meant to offer to everyone, why is there still hate and then I got the top secret, it was a secret I had to unravel for my own life and I will be sharing with you to the best of my ability.

Let us take this illustration, you go to a shop you see someone purchase something you would never imagine you can buy, what will be your reaction? I am sure you would start wondering what is this person using this for, How will someone even think of buying such an item.

The reason you hate it is because you know it will definitely not work for you but then it might just be super amazing for the next person.

Loving yourself is the greatest secret to loving another.

You can never give what you do not have, you cannot give me a pen when I ask you if you do not have one. That is how love is.

The reason why a few people tend not to interact with people properly is because they have refused to love themselves. You can only be ready to share in one's excitement if you too are excited. That's the simple logic behind it.

The ability to love yourself is the beginning of joy, love and happiness.

How do you go about loving yourself? it is easy, loving yourself is being yourself, being who you are without making additional effort to be someone else, you find out life is easy, simple, free and happy.

Being yourself helps you attract your type with little or no effort because what you wear, how you act can easily swing your people close to you.
Being yourself makes you love and appreciate who you really are, because you dress the way you love to and feel happy, eat the way you want to and feel happy.

But you tend to fall out of love with yourself if you decide to imprison your life and style by other people's judgement.

Because you will be forced to wear something people will compliment but then you will not be happy, eat with a fork and knife with a fake smile when it is sweeter and easier for you to eat tidy with your hands and laugh about it.

The love for self I say once again is derived from being yourself and accepting you for who you are and if you must change your style or anything about you, change it to suite who you are not people's compliment.

Appreciate yourself, love yourself, be happy about who you are and the love you have for yourself will be well packaged and ready to deliver to someone else.

A photocopy of an item can never be compared to an original.

Be original, be yourself and let love flow from within you.

Dance when you want to, sing when you want to, eat when you want to and stay happy because you have to.

So it is up to you.. Will you make conscious effort to start loving yourself? What did you imagine you hated for no reason? Kindly share in the comment box below.

Go through this week LIVING YOUR LIFE AND LOVING YOURSELF.

My quote for the week: Life is too short to be anything but happy.

  1. Love is reciprocal... You can't give what you don't have. And its good to receive d same kind of love you give to others, and even more. Beautiful souls attract beautiful people.

    But before you love others, you must love yourself first. Like you rightly wrote, be original.... And the originals will locate you.

  3. You can't give what you don't have. To love others, you must learn to love yourself first.

  4. I agree with you but that you said if you love someone, you cannot give what you have. Well, if you love someone, you even take an extra step to get them what they want or need because they really need it and you wanna make them happy

    The bottom line is we should learn to love ourselves

    Thanks dear

    1. Bee Dearie, thank you so much for your amazing view. It is so true. But the aspect of loving one's self is the first step of knowing how much sacrifice you can make and what limit you can get to for others.
      When you eventually try to do things you cannot do for yourself for others, you tend to run out of the zeal to do more with time. Love starts with Self. That's why even the bible says love your neighbour as you love yourself.

      Thanks so much dear for stopping by. xoxo

  5. Hi Uju

    You are so right. You know Jesus said we should love others as we love ourselves so if we don't love ourselves, I don't think it would be easy to love others.

    I love the wisdom that you shared that being yourself is what makes the difference. Thanks for sharing. Have a swell week.
