Loving Yourself {Learning to Love Me}

"A lot of pain could be avoided if people learned to be honest with themselves. If you aren't being honest with yourself, then you aren't loving yourself. If you aren't loving yourself, then you can't really give anyone else love. Be honest with yourself so you can give the best of yourself to the relationships that truly matter."

This idea was rolling around in my head during the drive home from family vacation this past weekend. Almost two months out of another wrong relationship, I was contemplating life as I drove the long stretches of highway, my boys distracted in the backseat with a DVD. 

How had I once again found myself in this place? Why was I starting over again?

Recently, I watched Andy Stanley's new series about Starting Over. So many times it was like he was speaking directly to my situation. So while I had a few minutes to myself, this idea of loving yourself came to mind. 

Of course, I was thinking about how it applied to him...the most recent guy to exit my life. But there's nothing I can do to fix anyone but me. 

So how does this apply to me? What am I doing to love myself?
