Hi Steemians, how are you all?
If you want to truly love others, you need to first learn how to love yourself. You are your closest companion. Before everyone else and everything else, your existence finds meaning within itself.
We are never truly alone. Even in the silence of the darkest nights, your inner voice is always with you, guiding you to reason and tranquility.
Our mind is our honest companion, our watchful guardian, and the entity that we can trust above all else. So, let me ask you a question. What could be more important than being on good terms with the closest person to you in the whole world?
There are two aspects to your existence; one is you, the conscious you who controls your life every day. The other is the sense of reflection that judges you and your every move. For as you form opinions of people around you, you also form opinions of yourself.
Your opinions of the people around you define your relationship with them and determine how you react to them in different situations. The same can be said about the inner self. Your opinion of yourself, whether it is love, hate, passion, or rage, will inevitably determine how you handle your life and interact with the world around you.
If you want to form healthy relationships with other people and feel passion and sympathy for them, you first have to learn apply that passion and sympathy for yourself.
We tend to be our most precise and turgid critic. In the journey to realize our ideal self, we forget that sometimes, we have to sit back and give ourselves a little rest. Humans were created for greatness, but they are also creatures of habit and make many mistakes in life.
You need to own your mistakes. Do not hate yourself for things you could have prevented. Love yourself for the simple fact that you have realized your own folly and are moving towards a direction to not repeat those mistakes again.
Love finds its meaning in sacrifice.
When you learn to let go of that egotistic creature of self-defamation, and begin to appreciate who you are and for what you live, your sacrifice will give you serenity, and in turn you bestow this newfound love to everyone around you.
You cannot expect to receive love from other people when even YOU have never truly loved yourself. When that spiteful and hostile creature towards your inner self reduces your appreciation of yourself to nothing, and takes away your own value and replaces it with hatred, the world will give you nothing but hatred.
Oscar Wilde says, “To love oneself is the beginning of a life-long romance.”
It is your self-esteem that truly defines your place in the world. It is your self-esteem that determines how life treats you.
Love and appreciate yourself for who you are. We are all important and our existence is bound by purpose.
We may not know what that purpose is, and it may take us a while to figure it out. Meanwhile, life goes on, and with it, your blessings are there for you everyday to make sure that you enjoy your time.
Make sure to be appreciative of these blessings, and live life to its fullest!
Have a Great WEEK!!!

Important Note!
I have been working very hard on this blog since the beginning. I have a very busy life but I am giving my best and believe me I have shared experiences that I have been coaching thousands of people and I know that the change of the Mindset should be daily. I am already grateful to see you giving upvotes to each other and you can see this with the fact that many already have 8, 9, 10 upvotes. But I'm sure that with the effort of all of us we will see a community with, 40, 50, 80 upvotes and for that everyone should get engaged so we can make it come true. I believe and we can! Resteem...
***Remember Community: Please, if you commented and upvote on a new post I did, please always go back to the previous one because if someone in the community commented lastly because of time zone differences it will be without your upvote and that would not be fair.
You all know the goal! We can reach: 50+ Upvotes each others!
Attention!!!
I'm reading all the meaningful comments from the posts.
I am here making a list of all of you who have helped build this community by voting for each other who write meaningful comments and soon I will respond to everyone with comment and thank you all because I can already see this spirit being built in this Positive Mindset community and help between all of you.
You will receive my upvote in all material and brief comments I will do this in all the posts I am following very closely and I can see what the people who are generous and contribute to this legacy that I am trying to build with all of you can become reality in a short time.
AND
First of all, I would like to thank all of you, who are the most active and proactive in this community, showing your generosity and always with meaningful comments. From now on I will always make a list of these incredible people who have helped to expand our goal of growing ever more.
And if you are not on this list, please, after making your comment, write in that comment: Include my profile in the list, because I do or want to be part of all this with all of you!
But I ask that if you are new around here you read many of the previous posts because they make it clear that we are building a community with respect among all, generosity and this blog is for those who really want to start moving their Mindset to positive and moreover be part of the growth of all of us who contribute to this blog. Please do not ask to include you in the list if you are just wanting votes or speculating because we want here people genuinely attuned to growth and good attitudes and as I have always said with Respect as the basis of all, generosity and positivity!
Remember the rules. First leave your comment meaningful and then leave your message that you want to be included in this comment. Everyone is welcome and I hope this list grows exponentially because this will be a reflection of everyone's growth. I really do not want to be able to update the list of so many people that can be included in it. Let's go together towards the 50+ upvotes to recognize the efforts of those who dedicate their time so that we can become stronger and leave a legacy of growth in our lives and in the lives of others!
ABOUT OUR LIST!!! WE NEED GROW THIS LIST! LET'S GO TOGETHER IN THIS COMMUNITY - RESTEEM!
I'm not going to put this list in all the posts because I do not quite understand why, but some people did not like me to tag them even though this list is a list of acknowledgment and thanks from the people I've observed being the ones who write meaningful comments , are generous voting for each other and contribute more to this family we are building here. So stay tuned to the text below and in the next posts.
Thanks All of You!!!!
