Love Yourself

There was a Beatles song that once said. “The love you take is equal o the love you make.” Paul McCartney was quite prophetic with these sentiments. No wonder he wrote so many great songs that have touched so many people. The truth in these words should already remind us that we are responsible for every aspect of our lives. Don’t look for a partner for all that someone can give us, for the happiness we seek in life should already live inside of us.

“I love you” is one of the most over used and least understood phrases ever spoken. For some, it represents joy and sadness, security and deceit. The way we love, reflects our spirit. What we receive, also reflects the spiritual and mental state of mind we project. People often look to their partners to fill voids in their lives. Becoming too reliant on their partners time and energy.  That simply isn’t fair to do.  To make true and complete loving bliss, you have to love yourself first. We should always be mindful of saying those powerful words, because they have such powerful implications. Even when referring to ourselves.

It is so vital that we never lose sight of ourselves. That we’re always evolving as people, as we unite in the binds of love and support. It’s necessary that we explore all our likes and passions outside of our relationships, so that we don’t lose our unique voice, and maintain a sense of who we are, and who we want to become. It is this aim that is our purpose in life. To be happy and to communicate happiness to others.

No one can ever be someones everything. So it’s entirely unrealistic to expect it from someone else, or for us to put ourselves in that situation. Yes, we put ourselves there. It is our purpose to be in pursuit of growth and happiness, so that we are ever-changing and evolving into a person we’ll love more, and appreciate more, simply by living our lives the way we wish.

Love yourself. Love all the things you’ve become from the experiences life has bestowed on you. We shouldn’t dwell on the things we’d like to change  or analyze them, but we should be motivated to do what is necessary for change, and to turn negatives into positives. Once you have built yourself that monument to love and happiness within you, and all around you, will you then attract the type of love that is stable, lasting, and wholesome.
