Love to be You

"When you love others, you need to love yourself first" because loving yourself is accepting and respecting who you are. God created us with traits, values, thinking, and purpose, and we must cherish it all. God made us for a reason. Embrace yourself even in your weirdest personality. As I said in the previous chapters, "love yourself because it makes you who you are" Even in relationships, you don't need to give it all to him or her. You need to have a love for yourself first.

Throughout my life, I have experienced degrading myself because I'm so insecure about myself. Whenever I look at myself in the mirror, sometimes I would say negative things. I felt jealous when I see someone that is beautiful and would compare myself to her. Sometimes I doubted myself, but I keep on reminding myself that this is me, this is who I am, God created me this way, in his way. I started loving myself more when I look at my reflection in the mirror, and I would say, "You are beautiful" It's a habit that I would compliment myself because it works. It's a challenge to compliment yourself every day. It helps you to gain confidence and ready to take the day. If you are confident enough in yourself, it's like a fulfillment because it's like you no longer hide in your shell, you got to break free from it.
