Fall in love with yourself and the world will be tempted to also fall in love with you.
Pause for a minute, Look around you and count 10 people you love. If you had truly done the exercise, there's a high possibility that you didn't count yourself among the 10 or probably didn't count yourself first. Sometimes it's simply because we forget to love ourselves first, we expect people to reciprocate our love for them, and in so doing, we lose ourselves in the track. If there's a law that life responds to, it's the law of attraction, it gives us what we present to it. If you show life how much you love you, it learns to love you in return and vice versa.
You can't love others genuinely when you've not learned to love yourself. Love begins with us, and spreads to others around us. Charity begins at home. First you'll love the person you are with your flaws and weaknesses, your deformity and challenges, and accept your makeup, only until then would you be able to love others the way they are; with their flaws and weaknesses too. When we fall in love with ourselves, the world will be tempted to also fall in love with us and vice versa.
The world responds to what you present to it. It adjusts with your mindset and plays along. For the world to love you, first love yourself, for the world to accept you, you need to first accept yourself. It's a game of attraction and you can't win if you leave the main subject (You) out of view
This is the gospel truth. There, we're enjoined to love our neighbors as ourselves. That means of we don't love ourselves, we won't be able to love others.
Exactly, you've pointed out a good point
