Loving others and putting others first before ones self is the most selfless act I can think off. I have seen others do this, specially the parents who would do everything for their kids or soldiers who will give everything to protect their country, or people putting themselves in danger to protect others. In fact I myself is somewhat doing this all the time for my family without thinking about myself. But I think loving ourselves too is very important to be able give more back to those we love. Having a healthy relationship with ourselves is vital in having a great relationship with people around us. The more you respect and love yourself, the better you feel inside out and you radiate love. I don't know if that makes sense, but if it does do tell me what you think.

I believe that when you love yourself, this love will show from within you. You do not need to exert effort in doing service or loving others because it will come naturally from you

As they always say, you can't love anyone else without loving yourself first. you can't respect other creature unless you respect yourself, too. yes healthy love to oneself maybe. should be the right term.

Yes that is true. But I feel that I exert myself a lot at times and only self respect myself when it is a dire need.

It makes a great deal of sense and I'm sure you are right. We need to love and respect ourselves just as much as we do others.
