Hello mylotters, It is my idea that to have ample positive energy one should start loving oneself Loving oneself boosts up one confidence level.It also makes one feel nothing is impossible. Certainly this will lead to success in life. Anybody having similar ideas? Happy mylotting

I actually find it very difficult, if not impossible to love myself, it has been a long suffering battle, I have a very low self esteem, I do not think I am attractive and I have a very low opinion of myself, that is why I responded to your last excellent discussion 'what if a new chance is given' you gave me the opportunity to explore what I would really like, to start again and become someone else so the two discussions I feel are linked. I am very negative about myself. Although I do have the confidence, but loving yourself and confidence is not always the same and can be poles apart. I wish I felt differently and learned to love oneself but I find this impossible when I feel that I don't belong in this world.

Hello wolfie thanks for sharing your feelings and ideas. You have said that you havea very low self esteem. The best way to come out of this is to develop a new 'you' This you can do by starting to love yourself. THis will make a lot of difference to your personality also. You just imagine about what you would like to be like and strongly believe that you have become one. Certainly you will become what you want to become and this will be almost a second chance.Being a teacher Ihave tried out this and have succeded. Actually both the ideas of my discussion are interlinked. Loving oneself does not mean being selfish.Loving oneself will make one strong enough to realise the dreams. Have a nice day and happy mylotting

I believe nobody will love you the way you love yourself.you are your own best lover and worst critic.when you like and love yourself,you attract people who like and love you for who you are.it will create a warm,positive feeling inside you.it will make you brighter and happier.
