I really should have started with this now that I think about it. But, I didn't.
The most important thing is:
YOU HAVE TO LOVE YOURSELF!
Yes, it really is that important. There is no possible way you can significantly improve your life if you don't start on this foundation. Thankfully, I'm already there. I do love myself. I like my body. I appreciate all it's done for me and I like the way it looks. I appreciate my intellect and the confidence it gives me to pursue my interests. I have moral code from which I rarely stray. I think I am a person worth knowing and someon many people would enjoy to spend time with.
Even if you aren't to the point in your life where you can appreciate the specifics about yourself, you can at least acknowledge that as a human being you deserve love. As a human being, you have a spark of the divine in you. You were born innocent with infinite potential. Even if your choices and the choices of those around you have limited that potential, you are still a person and all people deserve love.
The other side of this coin is that every other person on earth deserves the same. Even the most evil people were born innocent and perfect. These people deserve your love. I'm not saying they deserve freedom or that they shouldn't be held responsible for their actions. Of course not. But at one point they had the potential to lead positive lives. The possibility of these lives no longer exists and for this they deserve your grief. We should all grieve for the wonderful things these people could have done.
Once you love yourself and everyone else, you can start creating the life you deserve because you'll truly believe you deserve it. You will also realize that everyone else deserves it, too.
