LOVE yourself first!
A lot of people love others more because they tend to give everything they have to the people around them and what they didn't know is anyone can't be giving and loving without them doing it to theirself first. Don't they know that "Self-Love is the key to lovingness"? You cannot love others without loving yourself first. The greatest love of all is to love yourself. Jesus Christ taught us that we must love others as we love ourselves, this implies oneself must come first.
Truly loving one's self considers the good of all concerned, which means to:
1) Stop criticizing yourself.
2) Stop blaming yourself.
3) Forgive yourself for whatever so-called "mistakes" you have made because there are really no mistakes in the Universe.
4) Pay yourself compliments when others do not.
5) Appreciate your uniqueness and use your talents because you definitely have them.
6) Know that you are made in the image and likeness of God and that the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
7) Treat yourself gently, patiently, and kindly. (The way you wish people in your life would treat you.)
8) Surround yourself with beauty in any way, shape or form.
9) Fill your life with fun and laughter and be with people who can make you laugh.
10) Feed your body intelligently with healthy substances.
11) Exercise regularly and enjoy it.
"Then you can love your neighbor as you love yourself."
