Nobody should think better of you than you do.
Do you realize that the most important relationship that you have is with you?
Do you realize that the most important relationship you have with any human being is with you? You spend more time with you than anybody else. You live with you, work with you, and even vacation with you!
That becomes a real problem if you don’t like yourself. Too many people don’t like who they are. They focus on their faults and weaknesses. They’re constantly kicking themselves. And then they wonder why they’re not happy!
The other big problem is: If you don’t get along with you, you’re not going to get along with other people.
Jesus told us this: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” (Mark 12:31)
You can’t love others if you don’t first love yourself.
And, so, the best thing you can do for neighbor … the best thing you can do for your family … the best thing you can do for your friends is …
- Be good to you.
- Be kind to you.
- Be merciful to you.
- Be forgiving to you.
- Be loving to you.
You’re good to others, so why aren’t you good to you?
- You don’t criticize your friend, so why are you criticizing you?
- You compliment your coworker, when was the last time you complimented you?
- Start being good to you.
Someone once said, “I discovered the enemy. It was me.”
Are you your own worst enemy? It’s time to be your own best friend.
Stay positive toward yourself. Nobody should think better of you than you do.
