Thought of the Day (52): Do you know who your first love is?

Don't forget to love yourself."
- Soren Aabye Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet, social critic, and religious author who is widely considered to be the first existentialist philosopher.

Loving yourself for the way you are and what you are is fundamental for believing in yourself and recognising the purpose of your existence on this planet. You may be busy in the process of thinking and working for others. But it is also important to take time to learn who you are and appreciate what you are and start loving yourself more and more. Because, your success begins with self-love. 

Remember, self-love is no wrong. It does not mean selfishness. The more you love yourself the more you learn to love others for who they are and what they are. In fact, the very first person you loved in your life is yourself. Isn't it? Think about your early days, who you played with, smiled at, looked at, thought about, cried for. It all began with self-love. Let it continue to happen now also...more consciously..
To your continued success,
With love,
Siva
