Today's post is all about Philautia love- self love.
As I've said in previous posts, loving ourselves goes a long way in determining how we treat others. What we have within us is what we bring out. When we understand God's love for us, we are able to look in the mirror and appreciate His creation. We are His masterpiece; His work of art; His prized possession. And we shouldn't let the things we see or hear make us doubt how much we're worth. Because the truth is, we are priceless; worth more than gold or diamonds. And we must always remind ourselves of this.
Positivity and words of affirmation are good ways to remind ourselves that we are truly loved by God and that we must love every bit about ourselves, including all our flaws. I hope today's quotes help us remember that always.
Enjoy!

Love brings you face to face with yourself. It's impossible to love another if you cannot love yourself.

The degree to which you love yourself will determine your ability to love the other person, who will be reflecting back to you many of your own personality traits and qualities.

“Love yourself. Enough to take the actions required for your happiness. Enough to cut yourself loose from the drama-filled past. Enough to set a high standard for relationships. Enough to feed your mind and body in a healthy manner. Enough to forgive yourself. Enough to move on.” – Steve Maraboli

“Love yourself enough to set boundaries. Your time and energy are precious. You get to choose how you use it. You teach people how to treat you by deciding what you will and won’t accept.” – Anna Taylor
5.
You demonstrate love by giving it unconditionally to yourself and as you do you attract others into your life
