I guess the most important aspect of a human’s entity is the love.
I love many people, but only when I am aware of how unable I am to love myself, I see how it affected the love I have for others. Lack of patience, respect, humility, trust towards others comes from the lack of love to myself.
Being aware is one big step we make. But then the question follows, how do we learn to love ourselves – not comparing ourselves with others, forgiving for mistakes, encouraging for risks, believing in ourselves? My guess is – the best we can do is try seeing and reflecting upon our behaviors and thoughts and by that reminding to ourselves – if we expect trust, patience, faith, tolerance and love from a lover or a friend/family member – that is exactly what we have to give ourselves.
And patience is the most important here. Because it takes patience for me to love me.
