Hello friends, I have come to believe that our first step in our personal development and our ability to help others is to learn to love ourselves. That is not what I lived most of my life... but I am grateful to be learning to love myself and knowing that self-love is good - and necessary to be truly successful. This is another quote from Dr. Wayne Dyer's Inner Peace Cards: "Loving others starts with loving myself. If you don't love yourself, nobody else will. Not only that - You won't be good at loving anyone else. Loving starts with the SELF." Isn't that great?! Feel free to share it!

Linda, that is so true! If you don´t love yourself then you are in for big trouble in your life. But people who love themselves also love others and are the best. Blanka

Greetings Linda Miller, Thank you for inviting us to your forum and sharing this information as well. We agree with you that you must love yourself to be loved by others as well. Gary and Janice Hawkins are extremely lucky to have learned that years ago. We both had lives with our orginal first loves and lost them due to deaths! We were lucky enough to find each other and when two people love each other and try every day to make the other more happy and secure. It just doesn't get any better than that! respectfully, your friends here in Idaho, Gary and Janice Hawkins. No Buying, No Selling, Just Referring and Making Money! Hear audio message on site!

HI Linda, This is so true, and your gentle reminder is appreciated :-) God bless, Jill

This is so true. If you don't love and accept yourself for who and what you are, it is impossible to do the same for anyone else. Sometimes it takes a while to learn.
