The Fundamental Mistake of Human Lives

What do you think is the biggest mistake of your life?

The answer may surprise you. No, it’s not related to your relationship or work.

Here it is – Your biggest mistake is ‘Not falling in love with yourself‘ till now.

As a child, you dreamed of growing up and falling in love one day. No, it wasn’t a silly wish. Love is a magical thing that makes you feel out of the world.

But the problem is that we humans are instinctively outwardly oriented. It is why your childhood wish was to love someone else and not yourself first.

Even as a grown-up, it never occurred to you that you should love yourself before loving someone else. It is a fundamental mistake we make, and it makes our lives much more complicated than they should be.

Thus, falling in love with yourself is one’s biggest secret to a happy life.

Falling in Love With Yourself: A Goldmine of Gifts & Blessings

Falling in love with yourself is necessary to live a wholesome life. I do not exaggerate when I say that self-love is necessary for you even to stay alive. 

Here are some amazing gifts that loving yourself unlocks for you!

Self-love is Important To Stay Alive

Falling in love with yourself is essential to hang on to your precious life.

Just take a second and think, why do some people take their own lives? Isn’t it simply because they do not love themselves enough at that moment?

In other words, if a person loves themselves, will any problem seem bigger than their life?

The truth is that in that unfortunate moment, people become their own worst enemy! What they experience is a feeling opposite to self-love, i.e., self-hatred.

It means that falling in love with yourself is essential if you want to stay alive.

True self-love gives you the strength to fight all life challenges and come out triumphant.

Thus, self-love is the way forward in one’s life.

Self-Love Imparts Meaning To One’s Life

But the question is – How do you fall in love with yourself and make your life meaningful?

Here are some simple ways to do this.

Fall In Love With Yourself Because God Loves You

The realization that God loves you and wants you to be happy should be enough to impart meaning to life. The fact that he created and kept you alive shows his love for you.

People who do not love themselves fail to realize this one fact. Thus, a simple daily reminder that God loves you can lay the foundation of self-love in your life, hence filling it with meaning. 

It can help you overcome all your fears and doubts, turning you into a positive person.

Fall In Love With Yourself To Find Your Life’s Purpose

When your life becomes meaningful, you start searching for a higher purpose,, sometimes called a ‘Dream.’

Loving yourself helps you find that purpose, too. It’s because the more you love yourself, the higher your life purpose is. When you genuinely love yourself, you aspire big and have high hopes of accomplishing great things.  

Your life’s purpose inspires you to get up, get going, and give your best every day.

Whatever your life’s purpose—peace, happiness, love, money, or something else—being in love with yourself helps you find it.

Fall in Love With Yourself To Fulfil Your Life’s Purpose

When you fall in love with yourself, you make yourself capable of fulfilling your life’s purpose. 

Self-love is the basis of all the knowledge you need for a decent life. If you do not know how to love or care for yourself, you will find it challenging to accomplish your goals and aspirations.

You are the foundation of your life, and only when you invest in yourself will the doors to your best life open up.

Self-love also gives you the courage and the will to develop the required skills to accomplish your dreams.

Fall in Love With Yourself To Attract Love

People who are deeply in love with themselves find it easier to attract loving relationships.

It’s because when love fills you, you are no longer desperate. You do not expect others to make your life happy or beautiful. You have “surplus love” that you want to share with your partner. 

You already have a “perfect” life from which your partner will benefit. And when you are such a promising “Love-Asset,” it’s natural for you to attract even more love into your life.

Thus, loving yourself is essential to attracting strong relationships.

Fall in Love With Yourself Now

These fantastic gifts must have motivated you to fall in love with yourself.

The great thing about self-love is that it does not require any special effort. All you need to do is to open up to the possibility of tapping the dormant love within yourself.

It does need a little courage. Thus, you need to prepare yourself mentally for it.  

And when you are there, it’s just a matter of time before you fall in love with yourself forever.

What is it called when you fall in love with yourself?

Falling in love with yourself is called by different names by different people. Unfortunately, not all of these names are pleasant.

Some call it self-love, while others call it self-obsession or even narcissism. But self-love isn’t selfish or something that will make you a bad person. It’s a necessary virtue to have for everyone.

So, you don’t have to feel embarrassed or guilty about loving yourself.

But yes, if you take it the wrong way or start to overdo it, it might turn ugly. A simple rule of thumb to love yourself without becoming a narcissist is to ensure that your self-love doesn’t hurt others. If your self-love keeps you happy without harming others, you have fallen in love with yourself correctly.

It’s a beautiful journey if you can stay on the right path.

What does it mean to have fallen in love with yourself?

Falling in love with yourself can mean many different things depending upon the phase of life you are in currently.

So, it may mean you have understood and are willing to accept yourself as you are.

It may also mean that you are finally able to forgive yourself and develop self-compassion.

Sometimes, it means that you have freed yourself of all the past disappointments and are ready to make a fresh start.

Similarly, it may also mean that you finally understand that you deserve love and happiness and are willing to do everything for it.

To summarize, having fallen in love with yourself means that you have earned your understanding, love, & support in life.

Can we fall in love with ourselves?

Yes, falling in love with yourself is possible. If you can fall in love with another person, you can love yourself, too. It’s essential that you first fall in love with yourself.

To do this, you need to “turn inward.”

The human instinct is naturally outward-oriented which makes falling in love with others seem easier.

But loving yourself is even more easy. It just takes a realization of the fact that you CAN love yourself. When you know this, you will naturally start doing things that makes you happy and feel loved.

How can I fall in love with myself?

The first step to falling in love with yourself is to know that you need it. You need to realize that without self-love your life is empty. 

The next step is to know that loving yourself is possible. 

When you start believing you can fall in love with yourself, you should go ahead and actually do it. You should do for yourself the cute little things you do for your partner, for eg. taking yourself out on a date or buying yourself your favorite flowers.

Apart from this you can do a number of other things.

You can pursue a long-lost hobby, meditate to find inner peace, listen to your favourite music, make conscious efforts to take care of your mental and physical health, give yourself positive affirmations, or talk to yourself like you talk to a loved one.

Do things that make you happy and it will all add up to falling in love with yourself.

Remember, to fall in love with yourself, you first have to become your own best friend!
