“The foundation of genuine love IS loving yourself first. Loving, accepting, and appreciating yourself is the cornerstone of building meaningful and lasting relationships with others. If you don’t fully embrace who you are, there’s little chance you can genuinely love, accept, and appreciate another person. The relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship in your life. Genuinely love yourself. This isn’t egotistical.
Without self-love, relationships can become a search for someone else to fill the void, heal the wounds, or provide the validation you’ve not given yourself. This dynamic is unsustainable. It leads to disappointment and heartache. When you don’t love yourself, you likely unconsciously seek someone else to save you or fix what you perceive to be broken. Anything broken is broken. Why offer a broken person to another for a relationship?
You might hope that their love will heal your insecurities and fill the emptiness inside. However, this rarely works. Relationships founded on the need for someone else to complete or heal you tend to fall apart because they lack balance. In these situations, only one person is doing the loving, and that love is often conditional and dependent on receiving something in return. Out of balance is out of balance. If two people are broken it’s just as broken.
Develop a Positive Attitude, Mindset, and Beliefs to Transform Yourself
The imbalance creates a fragile foundation, unable to support the weight of two individuals seeking wholeness in each other. This is why broken people usually attract other broken people. When you’re not whole, you’re more likely to draw others who are also not whole. These relationships can become a cycle of mutual neediness rather than mutual support, leading to further hurt and disappointment. If you want true love, learn to love yourself.
On the other hand, those who love themselves, who are whole and secure in their own identity, attract others who are similarly secure and loving. This should serve as a powerful sign and guide for what you need to work on within yourself. The message is clear: love yourself first. Before you can genuinely love, accept, and appreciate someone else, you must cultivate these qualities within yourself. Self-love is not about being selfish.
True self-love is not self-centered. It’s about recognizing your own worth and treating yourself with the kindness, respect, and compassion that you deserve. It’s about understanding that you are enough as you are and that you do not need someone else to complete you. When you love yourself, you set the standard for how others should treat you. You no longer seek validation from external sources because you have found it within.
Develop a Positive Attitude, Mindset, and Beliefs to Transform Yourself
This inner security allows you to enter relationships from a place of strength rather than need. You are able to give love freely without expecting anything in return because your sense of self-worth is not dependent on another person’s approval or affection. This is the foundation of a healthy, balanced, and enduring relationship. Loving yourself also means taking responsibility for your own happiness.
It means understanding that no one else can make you happy if you are not happy with yourself. By focusing on your own personal growth, healing, and self-acceptance, you become the kind of person who naturally attracts others who are also whole and loving. Relationships then become a beautiful exchange of love between two complete individuals. Wouldn’t you want that instead of a desperate attempt to fill each other’s voids.
If you want to experience true love with another person, you must first cultivate it within yourself. The relationship you have with yourself is the foundation upon which all other relationships are built. By loving, accepting, and appreciating who you are, you create the conditions for genuine, lasting love to flourish in your life. Remember, loving people attract other loving people. So, make the commitment to love yourself, and watch as it transforms your relationships and your life. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
