Love Yourself
Mark 12:30,31 “Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart…first commandment…Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Interesting thought, isn’t it? Please notice emphasis is on the “AS.”
It seems to me that too much attention is paid to: “Love Thy Neighbor.”
In other words, you send out love to everybody else.
Yet, when it comes to actually loving ourselves, we so often fall short in that department.
“I’m fat.” “I’m too skinny.” etc. Something is always wrong.
We look in a mirror, and we do not like what we see.
We condemn, criticize, castigate, etc. When do we feel good about ourselves?
We are taught as children that we must not “get too puffed up” because that is a sin.
Why do we forget the “AS”? It goes on to state that there is no commandment greater than these. Yet we do not ever act as if that is true. Do we believe that could be a possibility for us?
In other words, LOVE actually begins within us – for ourselves.
Only by accepting ourselves, complete with our faults as well as our gifts, can we then actually love others.
We all have gifts to share with the world…unique, special, and one-of-a-kind.
Yet it is only when we stop beating ourselves up for our shortcomings that we can actually grow, learn, and become who we were intended to be.
When you look in a mirror in the morning, what do you see? Do you like your reflection?
Can you begin by saying, “I love me!” and give yourself a hug? Can you compliment yourself and actually mean it?
No matter how silly that sounds, it is actually the beginning of your change in attitude, towards yourself, as well as others.
Don’t you agree that this world would be a much better place if there were more LOVE in it?
It can only begin within you. Are you willing to give yourself a fresh start, NOW?

This came into my inbox: Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO? First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article. Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword. There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin http://SEOOptimizationGuide.com

Thank you for your comment. As to plagiarism and copyright violations, I can sympathize with you. However, the internet has no parameters. Once it is put out there, who knows where it goes or how? I personally welcome sharing because it is the highest form of praise. I just want to get some ideas out there so people can become more aware and begin to make different decisions based on new information and expanded awareness. As to copyright violations, you can submit your work to the U.S. Copyright office for a cost of $35 online. However, the only way one can prosecute is, after acceptance and a copyright is issued, one must pursue in U.S. District Court, with a lawyer at the cost of $$$$$$. You just have to ask yourself if it is worth the effort. Enjoy your day anyway. 🙂
