Your love for yourself sets the standards for others.
How we love ourselves, teaches how other
will love you. In the parlance of law, there is a doctrine called “nemo da quod no abet” which means that you cannot give what you do not have. You cannot give love for the others if you do not love yourself. Be your own priority. It is not absurd if you put yourself at the center of your life. It is indeed true that “No man is an island”, but there can be a strong man that do not rely with the expectations of the outside force — the standards or norms set by the judgmental society. We are far more beautiful, strong, capable, and smart than we were told. It all starts within. Loving yourself first, guarantees the creation of a life long romance. Love does not only pertain to giving it to third persons, loving yourself first causes things to fall into your desired line. It is yourself that you should not preclude from loving. To be a great giver of love, one shall love oneself first. Remember to fill your cup because you can’t pour from an empty cup. It is not selfish, it is just necessary.
