| Love Yourself if You Want to Find Love

I've read any number of times that if someone doesn't love himself he can never truely love another. If that is true, maybe that explains the high divorce rate. Maybe there are too many people just looking for someone to show them why they should love themselves and having to give constant reassurance to another is exhausting. It's a relationship breaker.
There are so many people with self-esteem issues. I guess everyone has minor issues - they don't like their hair or their smile, etc. But a lot of people have major self-esteem issues - they hate almost everything about themselves. That's sad because I have met very few people who don't have some redeeming qualities.
I used to have self-esteem issues, but not anymore. I'm far from perfect, but I know I'm a good person. I have some bad habits, but I have a good heart. I don't always do the right thing, but I try. I long for the company of another, but my own company isn't so bad.
She said "If we're gonna make this work
You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see"
She said "Like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me"
I'll do whatever it takes
To turn this around
I know what's at stake
I know that I've let you down
And if you give me a chance
And give me a break
I'll keep us together, I know you deserve much better

yeah, i know im not a perfect person either, but as long as you do what you want to do and not what others want you to do then yeah, i think that people should just live with the choices they make and remember they made them for a reason...not regret it for the rest of your life, you know? its depressing for a person with low self esteem but its also depressing for the people around that person, it affects everyone around you. oh and thats a greeat song!! alright, talk to you later. xo

Great Post ... Great Song Lyrics
"You cannot get love from the outside until you are love from the inside. We go into a relationship looking for love, not realizing that we must bring love with us. We must bring a strong sense of self and purpose into a relationship. We must bring a sense of value, of who we are. We must bring an excitement about ourselves, our lives, and the vision we have for these two essential elements. We must bring a respect for wealth and abundance. Having achieved it to some satisfactory degree on our own, we must move into relationships willing to share what we have, rather than being afraid of someone taking it. Joyful sharing and excitement. Value, purpose, and vision. That's what love is about. When we bring these things to the relationship, love becomes a great multiplier and enhances the experience of life."
