Love Yourself First

“The measure you give is the measure you shall receive.” Jesus

If you love yourself then you are loved. If the whole world loves you but you do not love yourself then you will not know love. If the whole world hates you but you love yourself then you will know love.

It does not matter whether or not God loves you or Jesus loves you or anybody loves you, if YOU do not love yourself then you will not be loved. If you love yourself then you will have the experience of love.

Do we want to love ourselves all the time? No, not really. We might think we want to be loved all the time, we might think we want to be accepted unconditionally no matter what we do, but the reality is we do not, for we use the idea of none acceptance to motivate ourselves to do something. And if we do not ‘do something’ then we will not even take care of ourselves, our bodies and our world. So this loving yourself will sometimes be conditional and sometimes it will be unconditional.

In order for our love to be perfect it must embrace the all, accept all reality. That means we must accept, enjoy and even love conditional love, which is part of the all. There is a time to accept and a time to not accept. There is a time to love and a time to hate. Without both there cannot be embracing of the all.

Self Judgment = God's Judgment

We all judge ourself and we are our harshest critic. Judgment can be good and even fun until we start to believe that it is true. We are the "God" that judges ourselves when we "die" to our busyness.

Judge Me, Please!

I want to improve myself and my ability to help people be healthier and happier. Your comments and criticism are appreciated, either here or at YouTube.

I want to hear people's criticism and judgments. I recognize that they cannot hurt me, only MY REACTIONS to words and thoughts can cause me harm. I have overcome my unhealthy habit of reacting to words and thoughts so now I am open to what others have to share with me. AND, I can show others how to get free from their habitual reactions to words and thoughts.

If you like the ideas I have presented here then please share them with others.
