It is echoed continually in our culture. You see it television and hear it on the radio. You read about it on the internet and in print media. They all shout from the roof tops that in order for you to attain a complete and fulfilling life, you must learn to love yourself. In order for you to love someone else, you must learn to love yourself first.

What exactly does this phrase mean and how do you accomplish it? You hear it at recovery meetings and other self-help groups. This expression seems to have lost its message. Does loving yourself mean becoming self-centered and conceited? Does it mean that you pursue your goals no matter who gets hurt along your journey? Does loving yourself have anything to do with the acquisition of material items? How do you know if you are in the state of loving yourself or not? Do you feel euphoric when you love yourself? Do you have the combined strength of superman and superwoman?

  • As for me,to love yourself means that you prefer yourself to others and when you love yourself means that you are selfish and can not love another one because you will not love another one like yours.

    • hello salem,

      yeah maybe you are right ,but i don't agree with you because if you don't love yourself you can't love the others.

      thank you so mutch for your comment

    • very good answer!! (from mr salem)

  • Hi Hafida,

    In my opinion, we should love ourselves. It's need for our life, because when we love ourselves, we'll esteem ourselves, we'll be more confident, we'll do anything easily. We love ourselves doesn't mean that we don't love the others. Because if we love ourselves, we know that others also need love too, everyone is the same. Therefore we love others as well as we love ourselves.

    Mirror work is simple and very powerful. Every day, if something unpleasant happens to me, immediately I go to the mirror, look myself in my eyes and say:"I love you anyway". Then I feel better.

  • Hello Hafida
    Nice topic!
    In my opinion, a successful person always loves himself and respect all things which God has given to him.
    There are some ways for it, like the miracle of a mirror to see our beauties.
