Analysis of LOVE YOURSELF
There are some people who live less for themselves and more for others. For them, what others say is more important than their own preferences.
Who are these 'other people'?
They can be their close people, loved ones. Of course, it is important to take into account their opinions, their preferences. But this care and changing oneself to care are not the same thing.
My personal opinion is that if someone loves or likes you, he will never want you to change. Rather, you will be loved just the way you are and with all your flaws.
Changing yourself for someone is not called love, it is necessary. Not everyone can accept this extreme truth.
From the day we start living less for ourselves and for others, we kill our ego. We completely stop seeing ourselves with our own eyes, looking for ourselves, realizing ourselves. It is nothing less than mental death. I fear such death.
Live for yourself first, live each day as the best day, love yourself first. Look at yourself once in a while, you will see that there are not two more beautiful people in the world than you.
And let everyone in this busy world wait for you... you should live a little to the fullest.
