Love Yourself

I was watching Dr. Phil today with one of my girlfriends, and the guest on the show was explainnig how she was glad to be pregnant for her boyfriend because now she knows they won't break up. Eventhough he was physically and emotionally abusive to her, she was glad to be pregnant with his child and believed he would stay with her because of the pregnancy. Listening to this, my friend said in disbelieve "Wow, she loves him that much?" "No, she just doesn't love herself that much," I responded. If we don't love ourselves, we will never know just how much fun, beautiful, and worthwhile we are. A woman's (and man's) worth is measured by the degree of her ability to love herself. How do we love ourselves? We can begin with positive thinking. Tell yourself that you are an intelligent and beautiful human being who deserves good things to happen to them. Repeat it to yourself over and over until you believe it. Love yourself first; then you will be able to give and receive love.
