We can only accept friendship from others to the degree that we give it to ourselves.
Being a friend to yourself is as important as anything you will ever do.If you allow yourself to just think about it,it really does make sense.Once you become aware of being a friend to yourself,circumstances begin to change immediately.Once you put it into your head that you want to be a friend to yourself,things will instantly begin to improve for you.This is a promise.
There are certain things,certain pieces of wisdom,that you can't hear too many times.Every time you hear them it is like you think,Oh year! Being your own best friend is one of those things. The more you focus on being a friend to yourself,the better friend you will be to yourself.And the better friend you are to yourself, the better friend you will be to others. All in all,the end result of being good to yourself is more inner peace, self-esteem and overall happiness.

I think that is really inportant to love yourself. If you love yourself, others will love you. we love many peoples around us and they also love us but is all that we forget to spend time for self. Spend sometime alone and be yourself. I feel good being alone for sometime but now a days I am alone for most of the time.
Thanks for the lovely Post.

I hold a similar mentality. Sometimes I come across people who are too mean to themselves: demanding too much from themselves, unforgiving to their own minor mistakes, having too low self-esteem, etc. I always tell them: "If you don't love yourself, you can't expect others to love you. This way you would become a poor orphan without anybody to love."
