Love yourself first from "summary" of Reflections of a Man by Mr. Amari Soul
The essence of self-love is not about being selfish or self-centered. It is about recognizing your own worth and value, and treating yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would show to others. When you love yourself first, you are setting a standard for how others should treat you. You are establishing boundaries and not allowing anyone to mistreat you or take advantage of you. Self-love is about knowing your own worth, and not needing validation or approval from others to feel good about yourself. It is about being confident in who you are, and not seeking external validation to define your self-worth. When you love yourself first, you are able to give love to others from a place of abundance, rather than seeking love from others to fill a void within yourself. Self-love is about taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. It is about setting goals and boundaries that are in alignment with your own values and beliefs. By loving yourself first, you are able to attract healthy and fulfilling relationships into your life. You are able to recognize when someone is not treating you with the respect and love that you deserve, and you are able to walk away from toxic relationships. Self-love is not about being perfect or having it all together. It is about accepting yourself for who you are, flaws and all, and embracing your imperfections. It is about being kind and gentle with yourself, and not being too hard on yourself when things don't go as planned. When you love yourself first, you are able to live authentically and unapologetically. You are able to pursue your passions and dreams without fear of judgment or rejection. Self-love is the foundation for a happy and fulfilling life.
