Life Lesson 115: Learn to Love Yourself

Dear Readers,

I hope that you all had a pleasant day. My day went well because the sun came out and it shined all day. In any event, I was thinking about love and how we spend lots of time loving others and not enough time loving ourselves. We want to show others that we care about them so we find ways to love them each day. But today, we will discuss the ways that we can learn to love ourselves from the inside out.

How do you learn to love yourself?

You have to learn to look at yourself in the mirror and see the beautiful image that God created. When he created you, he made you unique because he intended for you to be a reflection of him. In this life, you do not need to look like anyone else. Learn to love and embrace the beauty that lies within you. After all, you are beautiful and you must learn to embrace the beauty that is within you.

You have to look at yourself as a work in progress. You are not where you want to be but you are not where you used to be either. You are working hard so that you can reach your goals. But in the process of reaching your goals, you need to love the person that you are. You are unique and you possess talents that are centered around your personality. But you must love yourself in order for those talents to shine through you.

In loving yourself, you must accept your past for what it is. You may not have done everything right but you made an effort. No matter what happens, you must know that you no longer live in the past. You live in the present and you have a chance to create a beautiful future. Do not waste time focusing on things that you cannot control. Spend time embracing yourself for who you are. Loving yourself begins with a choice. Make a choice to love yourself each and every day.

             After all, loving yourself can be the best gift that you give to yourself today!
