Yourself

"You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."
Buddha


How much love do you really give yourself. Many of us are quick to point out all the things that are wrong with their body. We are too fat or too thin, or our legs are too short or our hands are too big. We worry about what the food we are eating will do to our bodies (because we beleive that it will make them worse in some way). We are never satisfied with our appearance. We even wear makeup as if our own features were inadequate by themselves.

We also are quick to point out what is wrong with our minds. We are too talkative or too quiet. We have all kinds of annoying habits. We are too shy or too aggressive. We are too fast or too slow. We are never good enough. We have such a hard time complementing other people because we never compliment ourselves. We don't know how to appreciate people.

If you don't love yourself, who can you love. You know yourself better than anyone else, so you should be able to find more reasons to love yourself than someone else you don't know very well. Nobody deserves your love more than you do. Nobody is as important to you as yourself. Give yourself at least as much love and affection as you give others. Treat yourself well. You deserve it.
