Not long ago, I received a message from a follower asking if I wanted to share my favorite self-love books with her. Today a piece from the book: Love, what life is all about by Leo Buscaglia.

Tell us what you’d like us to know about yourself:
Ilove the comforting wise words of Leo Buscaglia, he has been a great inspiration to me for many years. His words about self-love helped me to love myself differently.
Love Yourself
To love others you must love yourself. You can only give to others what you have yourself. This is especially true of love. You cannot give what you have not learned and experienced. Since love is not a thing, it is not lost when given. You can offer your love completely to hundreds of people and still retain the same love you had originally. It is like knowledge. Wise people can teach all they know and when they’re through they’ll still know all that they have taught. But first they must have the knowledge. It would better be said that people “share” love, as they “share” knowledge but they can only share what they possess.
Loving oneself does not imply an ego-centered reality like the old witch in Snow White who reveled in the process of gazing into her mirror and asking, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all.” Loving oneself does mean a genuine interest, caring, concern and respect for oneself. To care about oneself is basic to love. People love themselves when they see themselves with accuracy, genuinely appreciate what they see, but are especially excited and challenged with the prospect of what they can become.
