Reblogged from Bucket List Challenges:
He who appreciates self appreciates others; he who sees the beauties within recognizes the beauties in others. It takes one to see another.
Is self-love a new concept for you? Or you always know about it, but just not really doing it? You may love lots of others along the way, but neglect to love yourself? Or you always love yourself much more than loving others?
"He who appreciates self appreciates others; he who sees the beauties within recognizes the beauties in others. It takes one to see another." <--- I believe these wise words with all my heart.
I wholeheartedly agree with - "If you are adequately self-loved, first of all you don’t have to, unconsciously, actively seeking for others’ love and recognition..."
I am no longer depressed as a single woman or as envious of relationships I witness as a single woman as I was in the past because I now truly understand what it means to love myself. When I am alone, I now know how to enjoy my own company rather than go out and seek the company of a man that was never right for me in the first place; but he appeared as if we met at the right place and the right time because he fulfilled my desire not to be alone and because he fulfilled the desire to feel attractive and wanted.
I love myself too much now to search desperately for love that I can only give myself until the right man crosses my path and add to the love I have for myself; not replace it.
I truly am beautiful; I am a beautiful creation of my parents and I am proud of it and I now know that I do not need a man to affirm that but his compliments will be appreciated. I am a intelligent woman, my college degree says that and I do not need a man to affirm that but his compliments will be appreciated. And the list goes on.
I am so happy to be single now; and I am more than happy to stay single for as long as I can because I love myself too much to put myself in emotional turmoil with the wrong man again. I will wait to cross paths with Mr. Right on God's Time.
