Self Love

We all must have loved someone at some time in our lives. It is natural to have love and goodwill towards people in human life. Even if one doesn't find any special person, everyone loves their family. And everyone has their own way of expressing this love. But in the midst of all this, a person remains in our life, to whom we are not able to reveal or express our love. That person is nobody but ourselves.

A lot of introspection and deep knowledge of oneself will help us to enjoy the peace with self. In the urge of growing connections with others, people are losing the divine connection with themselves. We forget the only person who can complete us or whom we can resonate ourselves with, is no one but us only.

We have connected ourselves to the lives of others in such a way that what is going on in our minds or what we actually need, all these things have lost meaning in our lives. We keep thinking everyday how to impress someone, or how to get a place in someone's life. All these habits are compelling us to feel anxious about our social acceptance and issues related to it, and people are losing their peace of mind.

Amidst all this we are getting driven away from our thoughts. What we think, or what should be our morals, all these thoughts do not come in anyone's mind anymore. If we start to think about improving our life instead of peeping into the lives of others, we will probably find a suitable path for ourselves. But for that we need to change our perspective. 'What people think of us and what we can do to be a part of them' these are the thoughts we need to get rid of.

If you change yourself as a result of such thoughts, it'd be difficult to stay happy & you won't be your true self. Conversely, learn to love yourself. You are good as you are. It is important to improve yourself, but it is completely wrong to violate your original ideas for someone else. Improving your behavior or improving your habits is necessary to improve your life, but you can't change yourself entirely. Your development and way of thinking is based on the events happened in your life. Therefore, you are identified by your thoughts and your actions.

The day you'll give up your habit of trying hard to impress others, that day you will probably know that there is something in you that you were unaware of till date. And if you could feel connected to your conscience, you will come to know that it is pointless to run after others, instead try to identify your inner qualities. Learn to praise yourself, and never consider yourself less than anyone. Just as it is wrong to boast of our talents, similarly it is wrong to underestimate oneself.

It is good to get inspiration from those who are more talented than you, and try to know what is there in them which is not in you. And try to improve yourself by working on those shortcomings. In this way you will be able to know your true worth. And then maybe the people you have been running after will be running after you. Being interested in the lives of others makes you unable to recognize your inner qualities, which is like a hindrance in your development.

So, it is important that we do such things which can give us a reason to love ourselves, and this is possible only when we have knowledge of our talents. It is humble to clap for others' success, but you also need to recognize your inner talent and give others the opportunity to clap for you. With truth, honesty, hard work and right guidance, we can touch the heights of success, which will give us an opportunity to be proud of ourselves and will become another reason to love ourselves.

Loving oneself doesn't mean we keep distance from our family, friends and loved ones or ignore their qualities, rather it motivates you to recognize your virtues and do actions worthy of praising yourself. At the end of this article, I'd like to say that while praising others' talents & virtues, take inspiration from them and carve yourself with your talents, so that one day you can become someone's inspiration. And lastly, find every opportunity which gives you a reason to love yourself.
