Accept who you are.
Face your faults and your strengths as your own. This always starts with a Reality check. If you do not know who you are, you can never accept yourself and never learn to love your personal position. Get help from a friend to do this if you need to, but even an acquaintance can be of some help.
Learn that you are lovable just the way you are. If you wish to improve upon who you are now, then do so. This might make you even more lovable.
Learn tolerance. For yourself and for others. None of us are perfect. We are human. We make mistakes and often pick the wrong choice. Learn to live with this.
Only when you can accept yourself and love yourself will you be ready to accept, tolerate and love another. This is the Path to the Divine which is within us. Love one another.

Get the book a course in miracles. It is the master work on love.
It taught me things about love that I never dreamed could be true.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking. The most important thing that I realised was that untill I loved myself, it was impossible for me to truly love anyone else.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

Buy a puppy you will judge your self by the interaction you have with it. By loving the puppy and looking after its need you will learn that you have worth and meaning. And the puppy will tell you that in return - constantly (sometimes even when you don't want it to) (cats don't so they don't work as much but if your more of a cat person ...).
Judge yourself but judge yourself fairly.
If you have a puppy and do not give it love and affection then maybe you should look at changing aspects of your personality.

To learn to love yourself you should first remember that God loves you. Then you should think about the things that are good about you...compliment yourself. There is good in everyone...find what is good about you and focus on that. Then begin to work on improving the things you don't like about yourself. But the most important thing is to remember that God loves you just the way you are. Be possitive and remember that I love you too!!!
God bless,

Forgive yourself, enjoy your own company, be an honest person to yourself and others, work hard-because hard work brings about pride in one's self. And be good to yourself. God Bless.

Everyone naturally loves himself. That is our problem. We are born naturally sinful and self-loving. What we need is to love God and that takes a supernatural miracle of grace.

There is no SELF to love.If you love youself you will hate yourself.Be kind and compassionate to everyone than you will have love.
