Love Thyself

Loving yourself is an art. We all love ourselves but from a wrong perspective.
From the perspective of the people around you.
On the other hand, The biggest mistake we make is trying to love others around us before we love ourselves.
I still make this mistake at times. Its a wrong perception that loving everyone is good.
Without loving ourself, loving others usually means a selfish love, external love and not ethernal love.
This is the most common pitfall causing disharmony among our loved ones.
Consider a mother who loves his son more then herself Or wife who love her husband more then herself or vice-versa.
Eventually, it ends up in huge expectation from the other person.
This in turn causes disharmony, fights, rights and wrongs.
Instead in all the above cases, if one would love himself first and more, the expectation will become zero.
And the love will be eternal. The action of anyone other then you will not effect and that is the reality, it should not effect. Why? Because you have no control over other's action. You have only control over your actions.
So its a logical conclusion.
