In order to develop and lead us to a true commitment to life, the first thing that becomes indispensable is to believe in oneself ...
The full awareness that we have of the value of things - of a car, of a house, of a coat, etc. - is surprising, but we do not know the value of the maximum good, which is the value of oneself.
Unfortunately, we are always recriminating our defects and deficiencies, and we yearn for all those qualities that we do not possess, which is reflected in all fields of our life. We want the house we don't have, the car we don't own, the money we don't have, the woman, the son, the family, and so on, and we must learn to love what we own.
A man without defects would be an angel and without qualities would be a monster; All human beings are an amalgam of strengths and weaknesses, and normally all potentiality entails a weakness in itself: for example, the very sensitive person has the potential to perceive their entire environment more easily than others, but their intense experience It can make you suffer more intensely.
The artist who enjoys taking on canvas what he perceives masterfully, possibly his longing to achieve perfection or his maximum artistic expression leads him to a permanent and relentless search for a lifetime, wearing it prematurely; thus, the human being cannot be divided into such a simplistic system of qualities and defects; We must be aware of the qualities we possess.
To the extent that we are more aware of our value, we will be charging more self-respect for ourselves, and this, instead of puffing up, should take responsibility for self-demanding more.
Someone wrote that in order to "love others it is necessary to love oneself, for one can only give others what oneself has." Loving oneself does not imply an egocentric reality.
It is a genuine interest, warmth and self-respect; is to fight to rediscover and maintain one's own uniqueness; discover the true wonder of yourself, not only of the current you, but of the many possibilities you have.
Loving oneself implies appreciating your own value above all things. Loving yourself also implies the knowledge that only you can be you.
If you try to be like someone else, you may get very close, but you will always be an imitation without greater value; Being yourself is the simplest, the most practical, the most satisfying, so it makes perfect sense that you can only be for others what you are for yourself.
If you know yourself, accept if you appreciate yourself, as well as your uniqueness; you will allow others to do it too. If you value and appreciate the discovery of yourself, you will encourage others to undertake this important search.
If you recognize your need to be free to know who you are, you will allow others to also have the freedom to do so. When you realize that you are the best of yourself, you will accept the fact that others are the best of themselves, even when it is understood that everything starts with you.
To the extent that you know yourself (and we are all more similar than different), you can meet others; when you love yourself, you will love others, and in the depth and extent to which you can love yourself, precisely in that depth and measure you will be able to love others. We must all understand that the most important thing is to perceive our own potentialities and highlight them and not try to be someone different; The immense amount of books, seminars, courses about people who have been successful, who for years have talked about what we have to do to be successful is considerable.
However, almost no one has dedicated himself to instilling that in each person's self there is the potential to achieve any goal we set ourselves; The traditional educational system has been dedicated to selling us virtues of others but has neglected the wealth that each one possesses and that is necessary to identify and project potentializing the qualities of each one.
