The mantra for the day goes "Love yourself more than anything else". Sounding selfish, goooood... Be Selfish. Though nobody told me I'm selfish, I will like to say that I would love to be selfish. Dear if you don't love yourself who will. Loving oneself brings the confidence in us which people around us can see and they start respecting you for who you are. It's like help yourself.
A person who has love for oneself will definitely have self-respect for oneself, which I as a person think is the backbone of any successful person. I honestly cannot even talk to a person who has no self-respect. I am sorry, you expect me to respect you when you can't respect yourself??? No, dude doesn't happen this way. I may be polite but please don't mistake it to be respect. Apart from this love for yourself will help you with reasons why you love yourself, is it beauty, smartness, optimism, fighter spirit or something else (Caution: Assess yourself on the right parameters, at least don't lie to yourself). You will be able to list a minimum of 3 good things about you in the worst case, not bad huh, you can use this in your next job interview with conviction (good na). And well some bad things might come up too, now don't be old school, like getting angry is bad, it's not that bad always showing your anger at the right time and the right place will get things going with you. The measure is how much and the control parameters, how much does it hurt you and what is the control. Please don't take a stick and go start hitting people around you and take my name for that matter, I will not go help you with a bail (I love myself).
People who love themselves are successful, because the decisions they take in life keeps them in priority before anything else. Remember Jab We Met's Geet, she was happy because she loved herself and her success parameters were simple be happy & get married, she did land up with the hero ;). Now let me talk about myself, I always have high respect for myself but didn't actually love myself I feel. And I feel that somewhere I doubted myself on my abilities due to this. I have been a fairly bright kid throughout my life (don't look at my report card), but never felt that I could make it big in my life. I don't blame myself completely for this because nobody told me that I am capable and I should love myself for that. It took me a lot of time to realize, man I'm better than a huge lot of people around me (though I don't profess comparison of two human beings, it is an insult to the human race- every damn person on this earth is unique).
Our value systems teach us "Love thy neighbor" and like every person I believed they are smart and they know it better than me and someone's selfish is a crime. If being selfish does good to me why shouldn't I do it, my question. We all are selfish in some way only thing is we don't accept it because selfish is a negative word. I believe every quality is good in its own sweet way but when present in extremes will bring the worst out of you. Love should not become self-obsession & selfishness should not reach a level when people around you are hurt.
