You can't just avoid loving yourself

There is so many of us who don't love ourselves like we should. I don't think we realize the importance of having value in who you are as a person. We are all so unique and some things that we do other people can't or they can't do it like how we do it. That's just the beauty of being yourself. However, when we lack love for ourselves then that's the energy we give off to other people, and they will love us the same way we love ourselves. It's sad because sometimes we will come in contact with someone who loves us more than we love ourselves but we don't know how to accept it because we don't realize how much value we have. Learn to love yourself and never avoid that delicate process because the things other people can't learn to love about you won't even matter because you know how "SPECIAL" you are. Self-love sets the tone for everything in your life. You will know when to walk away from things that don't make you happy or feel good. You teach people how to love you and when people see that you don't care about yourself they will treat you as such. If you ever noticed a pattern in your failed relationships, it's either because you don't love yourself or you don't want to pay attention to the signs God give you. Don't continue to let history repeat itself and think there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. I know for myself that in my first two relationships I did not love myself and I would stay longer in the relationships because I wanted them to love me a certain way. It's crazy because I thought why would I try to get them to love me a certain way and I didn't even love myself like that. I took some time off from relationships. I took the time to learn new things about myself and spent time with the Lord, and he showed me how to love myself. I read a book that helped with positive thinking, and because I love myself so much I will walk away from anything that devalues me, doesn't love me, hurts me all the time, and doesn't encourage me. Take time out and love yourself and learn that you will only accept the love you think you deserve if you don't love yourself.
