Love Yourself First

When you learn to BE the kind of person that you hope to let into your heart, that is when you know that you have "arrived". Because when you get to that point in your life, you realize that no one will ever fit the bill. The best you can do is hope that someone else arrives at a place in theirs to allow the chance that something great can happen. But, if it never does...that's okay, too; because you KNOW who YOU are.

Again, it isn't "settling". It's ARRIVING. And THAT is what will make it GREAT!

Get to know YOURSELF before ever thinking of going into a relationship; because once you realize what you can accomplish alone, the word "relationship" is not defined by NEED anymore. It then becomes a "gift".

And, a gift is something you GIVE. And, at that point, you will have SO MUCH to GIVE to someone who you feel deserves it!

I have learned what the words "Love yourself first" truly means! I always thought it was a "selfish" concept. But in truth, it is the most unselfish thing you can do!

Jesus said that we should love our neighbor AS THYSELF (Mark 12:31). He did NOT say "Love thy neighbor BEFORE thyself." You can't truly love ANYONE unless you love yourself FIRST!
