Love and respect others and yourself

Love and respect others and yourself
Posted By: Tori D. Cousins on November 28, 2005


LOVE YOURSELF!! LOVE YOURSELF!! LOVE YOURSELF!!
I can't say that enough. Even if no one else in this world loves you; you have to love yourself. Don't disrespect yourself and definantly don't allow yourself to be disrespected. make smart choices and have good friends. A lot of people out there don't realize that if they don't love themselves, they are incapable of loving anyone else.
***Unbeknownst to most: You teach others how to love you. If you disrespect yourself you will be disrespected.



If you show your dislike for self, others will openly display their dislikes as well.***
Also understand that is if someone truly loves you they won't intentionally hurt and/or disrespect you. They will support you and not tear you down. The problem is that people (especially women) are not building themselves up. So, whatever love they recieve is ok because it's not being compared to anything different, that person doesn't have any set standards.
Show others that your heart deserves true, real, and unconditional love. Be real with yourself.. -Tori C.

True words, that is a big problem today in relationships. Many depend on there partner to make them feel good about themselves. It back fires and does not end well. If you cannot love yourself then you cannot expect to truely love someone else.
