Do you know unless you love yourself, there can be no real happiness in your life?

Yes!

You must love yourself if you want to be happy.

Everyone wants happiness in their life. You too want constant happiness and contentment throughout your life. But you do not have any clues about the ways to achieve it.

“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” Lucille Ball

Do not worry.

There is a way to enjoy real fulfillment in your life. And it is also a short cut route to make you feel satisfied and content in your life.

Are you wondering what that short cut route is?

It is the way you like the individual in you.

“How can loving and liking myself bring happiness into my life?” I can literally hear your voice questioning the validity of my reasoning.

Shall I prove my point by looking at some examples?

How does a movie become a blockbuster?

It is because the audience love it. If you do not like the movie, it is bound to be an utter flop.

How does a sportsman become famous in his field of sports?

It is because he loves the game.

How does a businessman become successful in his profession?

It is because he loves his profession.

How does an actor achieve incredible fame?

It is because he loves to act. If the actor does not like to act, his performance will be lukewarm and halfhearted. The audience would never like his show.

Success, fame, fulfillment, and happiness in life depends upon how much you love what you are doing. So, loving is a great motivational tool in everyone’s life.

It is the same with you.

When you love yourself, it becomes a wonder device which motivates you to do better and better in your life.

But most of you feel unhappy and miserable about yourself, don’t you?

Why?

When you face persistent failures in life, you assume that you are destined to suffer.

You feel completely defeated and overwhelmed by the pressures and problems life throws at you.

It is a harsh fact that life can be very tough when you are bogged down by problems after problems.

Defeats and failures are a very lonely world. When you are not successful, you have no friends, no support, and no hope. It makes you terrified to face your life.

What prevents you from loving yourself?

• Your consistent defeats make you feel you are destined to fail
• You take the persistent rebuffs and rejections you face too much to heart.
• When you lack confidence, you shy away to face your life in its full harshness.
• You feel miserable by the problems you face in your profession\ relationship.
• The feeling that everyone in the world are happy except you makes you dislike yourself.
• In your defeatist mindset you never smile or laugh.
• You hate your failures.
• You hate the way others dominate you.

Look at the list above!

Can you see how serious you take your life?

You take your present failures as a prelude to your future wretched life. This is the reason you shrink your life into a world of misery and depression.

When you feel you are destined to fail, you do not like yourself.

And it is not surprising that you become depressive and miserable. This is a wrong way of living your life.

Yes!

Never live your life hating yourself. Live it to the full by liking yourself.
