Love Yourself

10/24/2016

​A commonly misunderstood topic in the world we live in today is that of love. Love is a broad concept, and has many variations and interpretations, but I believe that the lack of love (or the confusion thereof) in the world is the main factor as to why the world experiences the calamity that it does on the day to day basis. Love can be a confusing topic, so rather than define what love is, let's talk about what it is not. Love is not lust. Love is not hate. Love is not selective. Love is not conditional, fake, or superficial. So whats the opposite of that? Love is real. Love is genuine. Love is unconditional. Love is blind. Love is not to be confused with respect, but with love, comes respect, and with respect comes power. And with great power comes great responsibility. I think people overlook the fact that love and power go hand in hand. Think about it. Why is it that when you're not loved, you're powerless? If you're loved in your city, you have more than the key to your city, but the key to everyone's hearts within your city. Then you can lead people. And that's power. How do the actions of those you love determine your future? What would you be willing to do for your loved ones, without them even asking? That's power they have over you. But how do you get people to love you? By giving it, without expecting it, or anything else in return. It will return in time, but remember, love is unconditional, so don't concern yourself with when why or how. Just know it will. But also know that you can't give that which you do not have for yourself. (Currency, water, brick analogy) So you have to love yourself in order to love others, for others to love you. Just like we talked about in the value video, a few episodes ago. What does "loving yourself" look like? Being gentle with yourself, respecting your limits, and forgiving yourself for things outside of your control, but also positive self talk, taking care of yourself, rewarding yourself, and assessing your progress towards your goals. Over time you will develop love for yourself, like a muscle, which will turn into respect, and then power over yourself, and more importantly, your destiny.
