You have a very important role to play in this.

Don’t you think?

It’s for sure that you are very important to yourself. Family, friends, Neighbors, Socializing is also important. People play their part only after how much you care about yourself. People will love you more when you love yourself.

That is the starting point of everything. Don’t you get it? It could be anything in your life. It could be your work goal, relationship goals, friendship goals, etc.

People will never love you more than themselves. They will want to surround them with people loving themselves more than others.

Self-love is the foundation & starting point for everything. That is the base of a strong relationship. This starts during the early years of life. When a child is observing, learning from others, knowing. when a child sees someone getting mistreated. A child understands the importance of respect. When he sees a person getting respected by elders. He realizes the importance of respect.

The child’s upbringing has a big role to play in this. This depends on the parent’s behavior in front of the child. How they make him inculcate good qualities. How much they make him aware of his potential.

The child must behave disciplined, Positive, learning, and health-conscious. He should also know what is right & what is wrong for himself.

People around him will love the person for his goals, aspiration, achievements. The way a person carries himself and respects others and himself says a lot about the person.

Say for eg. If A & B are working in the same company. They have a big conference coming up and be ready for it. At the meeting, B does a small error and A gets angry at him in front of people.

What do you think A should do. Should he reply him back or walk away.

The better thing for A would be to walk away. This will show A’s calmness and Controlled behavior. It will also show how much respect A has for himself.

people will judge you anyway. Then let them judge you by not getting into a fight.

Every person is unique in himself. Their likes & dislikes vary from another person. so if a person is unique, he needs to understand himself first. That the person himself must understand. Once a person knows himself better than he can of great help to others.

This also goes to other people as they are also unique. Billion people are staying on this planet and each person is different than another. How does a person know another person? That is only possible if a person loves himself first.

people getting into friendship with someone in college or office. They put the friend into the most important position in their life. People forget that they are very important to another person.

It happens most of the time. people don’t like to share their friends with others. As though someone is going to steal it from them. It is good to be protective of your friends. But not to such extent that you don’t allow others to talk to your friend.

You need to have faith in your friendship. If the person decides to leave you for another person. It should be fine for you. If he is your true friend. He will come back to you or else it will be a lesson for you.

When you start working and earn good handsome money. You set your target of having your own house, own car, other luxuries. Do you say to yourself that “You are very much important to Yourself”? If not, then start saying to yourself to be good to others.

If you consider yourself important, then people will also consider you important. They will respect you and hear what you have to say. People who don’t care about what they say and negligent towards themselves & others.

When a person finds a life partner and is getting married. He will do everything in his power to make her happy. She will be the apple of her eyes. He will fulfill all her wishes and take absolute care. He also promises to take care of his beloved wife all his life. But does a person promise himself to take care of his own life, no matter what happens?

That is an important question to ask for. Don’t you think?

Some of the points that are important to share with you all. Some points you might relate to and some not. Here are the points to follow:-

Goal Setting For yourself:- This includes your work & relationship goals. What all things you plan to achieve for yourself. How do you change the sour relationship with others on a deeper level?

Accept Change:- The only thing constant is change. Change is inevitable. The more a person accepts it, the better it is for the future. You will come to know later about what is stable or needs change. A person not accepting change will be on the losing side. He will be the person to suffer the most.

Self is Important:- The most important thing is the care of oneself. It could be physical or mental health. Having a better sleep, Doing exercise at the gym, traveling around to place. Indulging in new delicacies, Connecting yourself with the divine. There are many things one can do to take care of himself. It is good to know what suits you.

Connect with Like-Minded People:- This is an important thing here is to connect with the right people. People who match your frequency and respect you. They are the people one needs to have a tight grip on. Every person has someone in his environment who always criticizes. It’s important to understand how to handle them with care.
